My first shoot of 2016 is in Essex, England.

What a great find Rayleigh windmill was.  You could drive through the village and not even realise it was there!

The windmill was originally built in 1809 for Thomas Higgs, a Rayleigh timber merchant.  It is a 6 storey high mill with a ‘kentish cap’ and has four sails – two spring and two common.  It is a grade 2 listed building and has been used as a museum since the early 70s.

Make sure you stop in this lovely market town if in the area.
