Friends of Broad Eye Windmill hoping to the building to prominence will open the doors of the mill on Sunday to the people of the town.

A spokesman for the group said: “The mill has stood in the town for 200 years.

“We hope it will become a museum for local heritage and open on a much more regular basis in the future.”

The open day will feature a guided tour of the mill and a chance to see the Stafford Radio studios which are based in the building as well as a host of stalls selling watches, clocks, kitchenware, a tombola with a variety of prizes and refreshments including tea, coffee and cake.

Entry is free but any donations will be put towards the mill’s ongoing restoration fund.
