EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless beauty of the Uphill Windmill in Somerset. Standing proudly against a clear sky, this historic landmark tells a story that spans centuries. Built as a windmill in 1729, according to a fire insurance policy from 1789, this tower has witnessed countless changes over the years. By 1829, only its sturdy walls remained intact, serving as a testament to its enduring strength. In 1863, it took on a new role as a beacon, guiding ships safely along the coast. As time went on, this resilient structure transformed once again. It became an observation point for those seeking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and later evolved into an observatory where stargazers could marvel at celestial wonders. Photographed by Herbert Edward Sidney Simmons in April 1935, this image beautifully captures the essence of Uphill Windmill's rich history. The fine details are brought to life through Simmons' lens - every brick and weathered surface telling tales of resilience and adaptation. Through generations of change and evolution, Uphill Windmill stands tall as both a symbol of Somerset's past and an enduring reminder that even against uphill battles or fierce winds - strength prevails.
