Windmill’s restoration

A key stage in restoring one of Sunderland’s most famous landmarks is timetabled for this week.

Sunderland City Council has been working with English Heritage on a £409,200 restoration project following storm damage to Fulwell Mill in 2012.

The mill’s cap will be lifted by a 200-tonne crane from 10.30am tomorrow. Once placed, the windmill will be ready for the fitting of its sails and fantail.
