Berney Arms Windmill, Drainage windmill in Norfolk, England

The red brick tower mill stands 71 feet tall with sloping walls coated in tar, featuring four sails and a traditional Norfolk boat-shaped cap.

Built in 1865 by Stolworthy for the Reedham Cement Company, the structure initially ground cement clinker before its conversion to marsh drainage in 1883.

The windmill represents Norfolk's industrial heritage, marking a period when cement production and marsh drainage were essential to local development.

Access to the windmill requires either a 3.5-mile walk from Halvergate, a boat trip, or using the Berney Arms request stop railway station.

The mill features an external scoop wheel measuring 24 feet in diameter, connected by a horizontal shaft to lift water into the River Yare.
