Stracey Arms Windpump, Drainage windmill in Halvergate, England.

The Stracey Arms Windpump features a four-story red brick tower with a weatherboarded cap and functional internal machinery that drives a turbine pump.

Constructed in 1883 by Robert Barnes of Great Yarmouth, the windpump underwent modifications in 1912 and served as a fortified pillbox during World War II.

The Norfolk Windmills Trust maintains this Grade II* listed building, which represents the engineering methods used for managing water levels in the Broads region.

Located between the River Bure and Acle Straight, the windpump opens to visitors during spring and summer months, featuring displays about drainage mill history.

The structure contains preserved gun ports from its wartime conversion, demonstrating the adaptation of agricultural buildings for military defense purposes.
