Amber Valley MP Nigel Mills visited our windmill recently to see the work being done on the two new sails and said he was ‘impressed by the complexity and skills involved’ in the Sails On project. He is pictured with maintenance manager David Land, miller Brian Naylor and Cllr Angela Ward, Chair of the Friends
