The mill is a particularly photogenic structure and a key landmark in the area.
Although we are not open to the public because of Covid-19 why not visit the outside of the mill and capture your own images, or simply enjoy this selection from our flickr group :

A windmill in York
I found this great windmill in the middle of a housing estate on the way back into York from the York bunker.

This bas-relief mural, by Lynne O'Dowd, was given to the mill after being found in a dilapidated state. It was restored, the cost being covered by sponsorship from society members and other local people.
It shows agricultural tasks involved in growing wheat for windmills in the 18th and 19th centuries, when Holgate milled large quantities of grain to produce flour.
The mural is on display at the foot of the snicket (footpath) leading up to the mill from Acomb Road opposite New Lane and West Bank Park.

The mill is closed to visitors because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but we have been milling more grain than usual.
2020 is the mill's 250th anniversary year, and planned celebrations have now been postponed to 2022.
