Windmill End marks a quiet junction where the industrial ghosts of the Black Country still linger in the stillness of the water. It lies 1.1 miles west-north-west of Rowley Regis (from Rowley Regis: bearing 287°T, OS grid SO 953 878), and is situated north of Old Hill village. The landscape here holds the heavy memory of coal and iron, yet the light now catches the reeds along the Boshboil Arm with a soft, silver clarity. Where furnaces once roared, the earth has reclaimed the ironworks, leaving behind a stillness that settles deep into the surrounding pools. Walkers often find themselves passing the remnants of Cobb’s Engine House, a skeletal monument that anchors the horizon against the encroaching greenery. Through the low mist of morning, the water at Bourne Hills Basin mirrors the pale sky, reflecting a geography shaped by the relentless hunger of past centuries. Windmill End remains a place of transition, where the hard edges of brick and mortar soften under the slow, persistent return of the wild.
