I was looking at Twitter earlier and I saw some very sad news...
Shipley Windmill, the windmill that was used as the fictional home of Jonathan Creek in the show of the same name, is to be shortly closed down to the public indefinately due to a non-renewal of the lease by the landlords.
This is a real shame, the place is amazing, but they cannot get any help to run the place through grants for urgent repairs from The National Lottery, English heritage or the like becuase they do not have a longger lease as the landlords are not interested in extending the lease.
Because of this it looks like the place will only be open now until July, however as it looks like this will be last season this beautiful windmill will be open there will be no admission charge.
If there is any way you can help the volunteers there while this place stays open then there are details to contact them on thier website, http://www.shipleywindmill.org.uk/ and I know it's a long shot, but if the landlord of Shipley Windmill is reading this blog, please please please renew the lease, this is an amazing place and it would great for the public to be able to see this place for many years to come.
