Morgan Lewis Windmill
A sugar windmill with its sails
About Morgan Lewis Windmill
Morgan Lewis is a striking reminder of the sugar era: a tower with four giant arms, the gears that turned the rollers, and a tail that swung the whole cap round to face the wind, on the hillside of St. Andrew above the Scotland District. Visit Barbados says it is under repair and the interpretive centre is closed, though visitors can still climb partway up.
