Crowning of the Windmill and Clock Tower - Update 23rd May 2015

The weather was perfect for the craning in place of Windy's Windmill and the town hall clock tower. There was no wind and a beautiful blue sky.

We called Brian Smith of KAS Crane Hire a week ago and there was no hesitation for this weekend. Thank You for your ongoing support.

The first to be lifted in place was the windmills top:

Next was the roof of the clock tower:

Now the 2 tops are on and was a fantastic differece they have made:

The next major milestone will be to put the sails on the windmill and this will probably be aided again by KAS Crane Hire.
