North Norfolk artists 'up in arms' over summer sails

North Norfolk's landscape painters were crestfallen this summer to find picturesque Weybourne village lacking its landmark.

For the whole of the holidays, Weybourne Windmill - the 1850's towermill once allegedly occupied by WWII nazi spies - had to be sketched minus its famous sails, which had been removed due to damage.

However, this week two giant lorry-mounted cranes rumbled into town, to take their part in a major re-hang.

Artists touring the area in the autumn will be cheered to find the local landscape once again fully intact.
