Hadley Castle, Telford. This old mill buidling has recently been restored into a handsome house called Mill House.  It was once a windmill, then a water mill, then it had battlements added and stood at the entrance to GKN Sankeys works for a long time. The works walls were also battlemented and the whole factory was known as Hadley Castle. Some local folk think it has always been just a folly.

Another battlemented windmill at Much Wenlock, Shopshire is currently being restored. This one had battlements added in 1859 when a viewing platform was added for the Olympian games in the adjoing field.

On 5 September 2006, work began to dismantle Clavell Tower, Kimmeridge, and move it back 25 metres from the eroding cliff edge.
The tower was carefully dismantled and each stone numbered and recorded to enable it to be rebuilt to its original design. In addition to moving the building, services such as electricity and water will need to be brought in, new stone will need to be carved to replace the missing sections of the parapet and facilities such as a kitchen and bathroom inserted. The project is costing £898,000 which includes training for students from a local college in traditional stone masonry skills, an education programme run with four local primary schools and the production of information boards.

Another Landmark Trust restoration project is Queen Anne's Summerhouse on the Shuttleworth Estate in Bedfordshire.  Funding is desparately needed for this project, so have a look at the Landmark's page and see if you can help.
