POOLE AREA WINDMILLS

Jan 2023 : I have just purchased a booklet (see below for £14 from a bookseller in Lancashire) published in 2019 by David Warhurst (of Poole) entitled "Poole Mills"

He has "faithfully" reproduced a lot of my research from this section without prior contact or asking if he could do so - he then has copyrighted it !

I am a great believer in making research available for everyone and a website is an excellent way of doing this. I have contacted him (5/1/2023) via his website pointing this out and asking him to at least acknowledge this research in a more obvious manner. It is the product of 30 years research !

However, having had a rant about this above, the booklet is well produced and can presumably still be purchased via David Warhurst's website (comes up on Google). The booklet covers windmills, watermills and steam mills so is a valuable piece of local history.

I would add though that the Poole windmills information has been updated on this website since 2019.
