from Scunthorpe or Lincoln. Market Place The market place is a triangle with the Victorian town hall dominating. A hand pump remains in the centre of the square. In the south west corner is Cobb Hall and early 19th century example of an unusual market place encroachment. From the Market Place this small town spreads out over the hillside in a picturesque honeycomb of narrow criss-crossing streets. Mount Pleasant Windmill Half a mile north from the market place is Mount
Pleasant
windmill. This is a brick tower mill built in 1875. It has a cap and
gear but no sails. They were lost in a storm in November 2015. However
organic flour is still ground there using an electric motor and the
tea room sells both flour and bakery products.
