Until National Mills Weekend

'The East Anglian Mills Society' or TEAMS was formed during 2008 following a series of meetings between like-minded mill owners and enthusiasts in East Anglia. The aims of TEAMS are simply to share information, expertise and experience in maintaining, preserving and restoring our windmills.

Windmills were once the focal point in every community providing employment and producing flour, notwithstanding the visual aesthetic they exude. Throughout the 20th Century windmills became disused and were replaced by more efficient ways of flour production. By the Second World War most windmills were decommissioned and demolished for scrap material.

Thankfully a few special mills have survived the decades, largely through a sustained dose of TLC from their owners and major support from organizations like the Society for The Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB), English Heritage, The National Trust and mill groups such as TEAMS that exist in many counties. We want you to come and see our Mills and support their continued existence. If you have a skill and would like to volunteer to work on any of the Mills during the annual round of work-in’s then contact the mill directly or Email the TEAMS site via contact us!  Hope to see you in 2010!
