Windmills on Wirral - 16th Jul 2015 3:39pm
Just found this bit of info.
In Burdett's map of Cheshire 1777 it was shown to have 16 windmills, 12 of which where on Wirral.
It also shows 140 water mills in Cheshire, the majority used for corn milling .
There was also a tide mill at Bromborough Pool
Can anyone list the 12 windmills, and did we have any watermills ?
Thought this might keep a few brains ticking..and it doesn't give any answers as to location.
