Information and Ideas practice question
The village's water mill stopped grinding in 1950 and was left to rot. In 1998 a group of retired engineers restored it, expecting to open a museum. The mill now grinds flour for three local bakeries, and its income pays for its upkeep, which the museum plan never would have.
