Celebrating English Tourism Week has been fun and eye-opening.
Across Worthing and Arun communities, attractions large and small, new and old, attract visitors from across the UK and across the world.
Here in High Salvington, Lucy Brooks kindly introduced me to the experts who over thirty years have restored @High Salvington Windmill . (The interesting history is on their website https://highsalvingtonwindmill.co.uk/).
The setting is lovely. The engineering is impressive and local councillors have given constant encouragement. Major Tom Wye was the chair for years. Councillor Richard Nowak was also there to ensure I was shown each corner of the display.
Visitors of all ages will be fascinated by how our lives depended on the wind powering the grain grinding, just as the Rampion turbines generate much of our electricity.
The persistent endeavours of volunteers at High Salvington produce amazing results that can be valued not only by the community but by all across our beautiful destination for visitors and tourists.
Thank you to the whole team of expert restorers, carers and fundraisers. What you do is seen and deeply appreciated by all.
