Horsey Windpump, Grade II* listed windmill in Horsey, Norfolk, England.
The five-story brick windpump stands near Great Yarmouth, featuring a white cap, four sails, and a fantail mechanism for drainage purposes.
Built in 1912 on the foundations of the earlier Black Mill, the structure remained inactive for 75 years after a lightning strike in 1943.
The National Trust maintains this industrial heritage site, which represents the traditional drainage systems of the Norfolk Broads landscape.
Visitors can climb 61 steps to reach the upper levels, with admission prices of £5.60 for adults and £2.80 for children.
The windpump returned to operation in 2019, turning its sails for the first time in 76 years following an extensive restoration project.
