Meir Heath windmill The shell of this windmill was rescued and stabilised from a dilapidated state in 2002, when the concrete cap was repaired and the iron bands around the brickwork were restored. A local group was formed at that time to try and look after it. The mill stands in the carpark of a pub called, with great imagination, The Windmill.

Meir Heath milepost in its setting Oddly, despite being in Meir Heath, this one has the name 'Normacot' on it (see <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1483524">SJ9240 : Meir Heath milepost - detail</a>), which is about 1.5 miles away to the northwest. Makes you wonder if it's been moved at some time in the past.
