Aslacton Windmill, 19th-century windmill in Aslacton, England.
The four-storey tower mill features a boat-shaped cap with a six-bladed fantail and stands 33 feet tall from its base to curb level.
Built in 1834, the mill operated continuously until 1938, utilizing both wind power with Patent sails and later incorporating steam and oil engines for grain processing.
The mill exemplifies the transformation of rural farming methods, demonstrating the shift from traditional wind power to mechanized milling technologies in Norfolk.
The structure maintains its Grade II listed status, which ensures protection of its historical features and requires approval for any modifications or repairs.
The mill incorporated an innovative dual-drive system, allowing millstones to operate overdrift through wind power and underdrift through engine power.
