Today I spotted this mural on the side of Windmill Drive Post Office. It may have been there for a long time as I am not very observant! The artist's name is on it if you want to know more about him: Luke Brabants. I had a little google and he is very talented. The windmill that the street is named after used to be out on Gunter's Lane, by Hoad's Mill. The hill is still there, with some brickwork from the base of the windmill, and the bakery is now a private house. As a child I used to buy cakes from the bakery, and they delivered bread around the town. The mill pond is still out the back, and you can walk past it on the rough footpath, but it is sadly now covered in green algae and with no visible birds (there used to be ducks and geese.)
