The Mill

The Mill is a watermill that dates from the 18th and 19th centuries, built on an earlier site, and is located over a race diverted from the River Yare. It features a timber frame and is weatherboarded, with a pantile roof that has black glazed pantiles on the south side. The structure consists of 7 bays and 3 storeys, with the roof sweeping low to the north over 2 storeys, creating an aisled arcade inside.

On the south facade, there are two brick arches for sluices positioned below the center. The facade has 9 bays across 3 storeys, with 7 bays on the east side from the 18th century, a lucum bay, and 2 bays on the west side that are a 19th-century rebuild. The openings are fitted with cast iron frames and glazing bars; the first 7 bays have 4 ground floor openings with 3 x 4 panes each and 4 second-floor openings with 3 x 2 panes each. The lucum bay is located on the second floor between the 18th-century section and the 19th-century rebuild. The end 2 bays have cast iron openings with 3 x 3 panes. The east and west returns feature various inserted and repositioned openings.

The north facade has a roof that sweeps low over 2 storeys. The ground floor includes 5 cast iron openings with glazing bars, while the first floor has two cast iron openings and two wooden openings, all with glazing bars. Inside, the mill has a 3-tier roof from the 18th century over the 7 eastern bays, featuring staggered purlins and collars. The lucum bay and the 2 bays to the east from the 19th century have king posts. There are braces to the aisle posts and wall posts to the north of the 18th-century bays, and the eastern two bays from the 19th century have cast iron aisle posts. The waterwheel was removed around 1950, but some chutes, wheels, and driving mechanisms remain. The weatherboarding was completely renewed in 1986, and the mill now includes a dwelling.
