Introduction

From 1904, operations moved to the Electric Station on the main road.

 

Commentary

There is a patch of uncultivated ground on the top of the hill (shown in the Aerial view). The lidar map shows the surface of the ground with the vegetation removed (on the larger map, change the transparency of the overlay to reveal the lidar image.) Two circular features are shown on the lidar image. This is almost certainly the site of the windmill and electric station.
