The millstones at a north Suffolk windmill are once again grinding wheat into flour powered only by the wind, Diss Express reports.
Wholemeal flour is being bagged at Thelnetham Mill, a stated aim of its owners, the Suffolk Building Preservation Trust (SBPT) in the UK.
Earlier this year volunteers at the mill said their aim was to get milling by the end of the year. The flour is now for sale in local shops as a trial, and is also available from the mill during its open days, says Diss Express.
Bob Paterson, spokesman for the mill, said: “Right from the word go, the windmill has always been in a good state of repair.
“The intention was always to start grinding again with the emphasis on making sure we could once we had the insurance covered. It was a case of getting on and doing it.”
Mr Paterson said that the plan was also to open a tea shop at the mill site in the spring, to further boost it as a tourist attraction.
