Holgate Windmill
Holgate Windmill was built in 1770 and is York’s last surviving windmill and the oldest 5-sailed windmill in the country. The Mill ground corn until the early 1930’s using wind power and then continued with the aid of electric motors until production stopped entirely around 1933. In 2001 the Holgate Windmill Preservation Society was formed and through the dedication of its volunteers the mill is now fully restored and producing traditional stone-ground flour.
