The wood has weathered a little in the last month since Image If the Meir Heath Windmill Preservation Group can raise £20000 they plan to waterproof render the walls and repair the guttering. Plans are to open this as an information centre. The Grade 2 listed mill was built in the 18th century. It remained in use until the late 1890s and was later a water tower. The sails were removed during service as a wartime observation post by the Home Guard.
