Many congratulations to Sarah who works at Acomb Primary School in York has been voted runner up in the Yorkshire and Humberside Region in the World Bread Awards! Sarah is the cook at the school and uses our flour at least twice a week to make pizzas, homemade garlic and herb bread, oaty apple crumble and banana brownies for the children. #holgatewindmill #acombprimaryschool #worldbreadawards #stonegroundflour #windmillflour
Last winter was particularly harsh and it has affected the paintwork on the mill so we have decided to have it repainted. The paint used is a mineral silicate black paint by Keim (from Germany) which is often used on lighthouses and is used on many of the historic buildings in York but it is expensive. It is important to preserve buildings like these and any donations towards this project would be very gratefully received. #holgatewindmill #holgatewindmillpreservationsociety #preservingoldbuildings #KEIM #keimpaint #preservation #york #donations
