Blackshore Mill, Grade II listed windpump in Reydon, England
The three-story tower mill stands 26 feet tall with a boat-shaped cap and features four patent sails mounted on a cast-iron windshaft.
Robert Martin, a millwright from Beccles, constructed the mill in 1890, but its sails were lost due to a broken windshaft after only four years of operation.
The mill represents the evolution of agricultural technology in Suffolk, demonstrating the methods communities used to manage water levels in surrounding marshlands.
The structure maintains protected status under British heritage laws, requiring specific permissions and guidelines for any modifications or restoration work.
The mill contains entirely cast iron machinery, marking a departure from traditional wooden mechanisms used in earlier windmill constructions.
