Another question for the (European members of the) group - 1 attachment

Was looking on an obvious site and saw this picture.

Avoiding the obvious Q about circumstances, my real
question is one that might only come from Mr.OCD - me.

What's with the windmill that close to the location?

Could this be a form of a windsock? If so, how prevalent
is this across the pond? ...anyone?

I don't know why I didn't think to GoogleEarth that
location.

I'll bet if some of those mills are in the right
locations, they could pump gravel! Hmmm... maybe
thats the answer to the "disrepair" look.

Thanks John
