Hayes Farm Windmill, Sully.

Listed by CADW as a circular rubble tower containing original wooden machinery including three of four mill stones in situ. The ruin is behind the wire fence surrounding the industrial complex that includes a power station and chemical/plastics factory, some of its infrastructure is visible behind the mill. Hopefully this will protect it from further deterioration resulting from vandalism and offering the possibility of some kind of protective restoration. On the other hand of course it might seem to occupiers of the site to be of no interest and an impediment to expansion and it will be demolished despite its status! It has happened before!
