Would that be the 'cock pit?
I heard that may have been a mill.

The cock Pit is on the boundary /hoylake road side of the hill.if you stand in front of the windmill looking towards the bridge over vyner road and look to the left you can see a small mound and on the rock as Hoseman has mentioned you can see post holes and water run off gulleys.


It all makes perfect sense expressed in dollars and cents ,pound shillings and pence

When I was up the windmill in August they said that it would be open again this Saturday 5th September 10am - 12 noon. This will be the last time this year.

I was going to go but the weather was no better than last time so I didn't see the point.
Apparently IF (and it is a big if) the bats have not returned by the first Saturday in October then they should be open. If not then today was the last for the year frown

I went a couple of years ago, it is well worth getting up early. I always wondered as a kid what it looked like inside.
