Yes - it does look exactly like they've deposited a small boat upside-down on the top. Update July 2011:- The plan is to make the mill waterproof, and so a Lime slurry waterproof render, suggested by the Stafford Borough Conservation Officer, will be eventually put onto the windmill tower. The Guttering will be aluminium and a soakaway French drain will be installed around the base. Thanks to Gill Swift, the Preservation Group Project Officer, for this detail.
