1986 Sibsey Trader Windmill
There is a fully-working windmill in
Sibsey, called the Sibsey Trader Mill.
It was built in 1877 by Messrs.
Saunderson. It worked until the 1950s.
It is built of brick and has only
recently been restored. The small
museum was opened this year. The mill
was the property of the Crawford
family but it now belongs to National
Heritage. The Windmill
The windmill stood alone
on the side of the bank.
The white and black door
swaying in the wind.
The sails turning as the wind
Gently blew the fantail round.
The windows opened and shut.
The poor old windmill
Stood alone
On the side of the bank.

In 2011 the BBC published the survey online and for six months invited updates to the photographs and text to celebrate the 25th anniversary.
Shortly afterwards the website was added to The National Archives’ UK Government Web Archive.
