This 19th-century textile mill, now a museum, showcases the region's industrial heritage. The mill's original machinery is still intact, allowing visitors to see the workings of a bygone era. Exhibits explore the history of the mill, the lives of its workers, and the significance of the textile industry in the area.
Lovely piece of working history just outside Boston town centre. A semi-working mill that grinds its own flour that you can buy in its shop. You may choose to pay to venture up and around the mill or simply buy local produce in its shop. The view from the middle floor is worth the admission in itself. The highly informative operators are on hand to educate you about the workings of the mill. The mill has its own fairly large car park.
What an absolute treat! A beautiful windmill and so very interesting being able to study the mechanism and workings out. And very reasonably priced flour etc in the shop. I can't wait to try my porridge oats
Maud Foster Mill, located in the charming town of Boston, Lincolnshire, is a remarkable testament to the area's milling heritage. This fully operational, five-sailed windmill offers visitors a captivating journey back in time, showcasing the beauty and ingenuity of traditional windmill craftsmanship. Maud Foster Mill also houses a charming tearoom, where visitors can indulge in delicious homemade treats and enjoy a well-deserved break. The tearoom's cozy atmosphere and friendly service complemented the overall experience, providing a delightful spot to relax and soak in the mill's ambiance. It's worth noting that the mill's operational schedule may vary, as it is dependent on wind conditions. However, even if the sails are not turning, the knowledgeable volunteers are always available to provide informative tours and share the mill's history, ensuring an enriching experience regardless of the wind conditions. Parking: roadside parking Toilets: on-site
One of the the finest and tallest windmills in the British Isles. Offers nice little shop on site and no under 18's allowed inside the mill. Opening times: Wednesdays and Saturdays 10am-5pm
I would love to have a tour around the Maud Foster Mill, maybe on my next visit . Here are some photo's and why don't you check out My Instagram account for more of my photo's. #world_capture_man
Fantastic to visit a real working windmill! Alas, no wind today, so we didn't get to see it in action. Nevertheless, I learned so much. Fascinating to see a piece of historical engineering in good working order and have it all explained. Would definitely visit again if I'm around, preferably when it's a little windy . (fyi the stairs are more like ladders)
