About this audio guide
This guide to Holgate Windmill in York starts with one piece of iron above your head, and follows the brick tower a miller named George Waud put up in the seventeen-seventies. It touches the families who worked it, the Victorian owner who made it taller, and a stormy year in the nineteen-thirties. Best heard standing in Windmill Rise with the cap and sails in view.
