The Rescued Barbadian Site- Morgan Lewis Windmill

Situated in the parish of St. Andrew is Morgan Lewis Windmill. This windmill was the last operating windmill in Barbados - ceasing operation in 1945 - and was listed as a site on the World Monuments Watch List in 1996. This watch list is made up of 100 of the most endangered sites in the world and after being enlisted, a two year restoration was under taken to bring the mill back to its former glory. Take a look at the mill from two decades ago and what is looks like today!

This site, overlooking the rugged Scotland District on the East coast of the island, is one which you must see at least once in your lifetime!
