The iconic image of Cat and Fiddle Windmill is part of our local heritage. It dates from about 1788 and is the only surviving Post Mill in Derbyshire. Standing as it does on a hill just outside Ilkeston, it is very prominent on the local skyline providing a stunning local landmark.
It was offered many years ago to the Conservative controlled Borough Council but unfortunately they didn't take up the offer. Yet another missed opportunity.

It could have made a good base for a field study centre and visitor attraction. At the moment this lovely windmill is a bit like Erewash Borough Council it lacks motivation. It would be nice to see it's sails back on so we can see it in all it's glory.
