    ooh yes, windmill. My friend lived in a windmill in the early 1970s, I've since found it online from when it was sold off.

    Anyway, lot 65.... http://www.eigroup.co.uk/onlineauctions/lotpub.asp?a=10597&l=494181

    Doesn't appear on first look to have been sold since April 2000 (when Land Registry records started being made public)

    Sold at £150k
    Bargain, everybody loves a windmill!

    Sorry, being an avid 'Made in Uk' clothing designer, and having seen the skills and jobs lost in the industry I feel a bit sad.

    No worries, see where you are coming from now.....

    I acutally work with creative start-up businesses so know the feeling of "Made in China depression"....

    I don't understand the sentiment.... can you explain?

    Ok there are far too many flats around the place, but if the factory is no longer used for "factory things" is it better to leave it crumbling or build houses to house people....

    I would rather them convert a derelict factory to save it from vandals than convert the countryside that surrounds my house.

    Plus the more derelict factories the convert = greater supply of housing = meeting high demand for housing = drops in price.

    Alternatively make it into a factory again. And stop people beliveing that houses/flats are investements rather than places to live.

    If as it looks like, financial services as an industry are going down the toilet - where is the UK going to get it's wealth from? We don't make anything anymore.
