The WindMill Hill History Site

This is the online historical archive of Windmill Hill City Farm, South Bristol, UK.

Created in the 1970′s thanks to the efforts of volunteers, the farm has been a vital hub for the south Bristol community ever since.

This history site is a place to add and catalogue words and pictures from the farms history.

The Windmills of Time blog is now live and tracks the latest in farm history and community arts:
