NL – Windmolens ca 1915 aan de Noordkade langs de Gouwe in Waddinxveen. Rechts (achteraan) de Oranjeboom trasmolen voor het malen van tufsteen, kort voor de sloop in 1916. Daar voor de ‘Bijenkorf’, een van de vele papiermolens uit de 18-19e eeuw in Waddinxveen, na 1890 in gebruik genomen als korenmolen, en afgebrand in 1923.
Bijzonder : vooral bij de Bijenkorf is zichtbaar hoe de molen gebouwd lijkt bovenop/in een groter gebouw. Bewerking van scan SAMH museum, Gouda.

EN – Windmills around 1915 on the Noordkade quay along the Gouwe river in Waddinxveen. On the right (at the back) is the Oranjeboom trass mill for grinding tuff stone, shortly before its demolition in 1916. At the front is the Bijenkorf (‘Beehive’) windmill, one of the many paper mills from the 18-19th century in Waddinxveen, used as a grist mill after 1890, and burned down in 1923.
Special: especially at the Bijenkorf it is visible how the mill seems to be built on top of/in a larger building. Editing from scan SAMH museum, Gouda.
