Summary

Description
English: Limpenhoe drainage mill on the north bank of the River Yare. The 4-storey high Limpenhoe drainage mill > 1753755 was built in 1831 by millwright William Thorold and it is the last surviving windmill built by him. The windpump is situated on the north bank of the River Yare which here forms the southern border of the Limpenhoe marshes. The tower is approximately 10 metres high and has an inside diameter measuring a little over five metres at the base. It had three internal floors and it is presumed that the mill had a boat shaped cap and an 8 bladed fantail without a gallery, and three internal floors with the top floor having two windows. Floor beams > 1753782 and all other machinery are still in place, although very much dilapidated, and the pit wheel > 1753773 with square iron shaft > 1753777 is still connected to an outside scoop wheel > 1753787 with some of the wooden paddles still in place. Because the ownership of the mill and its adjoining land is unknown the mill cannot be restored. British Sugar own all the land except the area the mill stands on - they deny it is theirs.
