Anglesey windmill repainted white after unauthorised red, white and green makeover
Überblick
Melin Llynon, Wales' only working windmill on Anglesey, has been repainted in its original white colour following an unauthorised makeover in Welsh red, white and green colours for the Urdd Eisteddfod festival. Owner Richard Holt previously apologised for breaking council rules without realising permission was needed, and while the council acknowledges the repainting, an inspection is still required to confirm all issues are resolved.
