UnseenJersey #4 'Mill Walled' Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:


This Cache rests close to the location of one of the oldest wind mills in Jersey, first shown on a map dating from 1563. The sails and mill workings were removed in 1909, and in 1920 the Mill was purchased by the States Of Jersey. 
The mill stands 27ft tall, on a rock mound adding a further 7ft. Its prominent position allows for the remaining structure to be used as a landmark for local fisherman returning from Les Ecrehous. 
During the occupation the Mills advantageous position was of use to the German forces, if you look at the top of the tower you can make out a concrete 'penny' that caps the tower. The Mill tower was used as an observation and directional position for the German artillery.
