Billingford Windmill, Grade II listed brick tower mill in Billingford, Norfolk, England.
The five-story red brick tower features a boat-shaped cap with four double patent sails carried on a cast iron windshaft.
Built in 1860 for William Chaplyn at a cost of £1,300, this mill replaced an earlier post mill that was destroyed by storms in 1859.
The mill continues Norfolk's milling traditions through demonstrations and educational programs coordinated by the Norfolk Windmills Trust.
Visitors can access the windmill on select Sundays and Bank Holidays or arrange special visits through the Norfolk Windmills Trust.
The last wind-powered commercial mill operating in Norfolk until 1956, it maintains three pairs of millstones, including one powered by an engine.
