Stubb Drainage Windmill, Tower drainage mill in Hickling, England
The four-story brick tower mill features a corrugated iron cap and stands near Hickling Broad, serving the surrounding marshland drainage system.
Built between 1795 and 1825 by Sir George Berney Brograve, the mill operated until 1947 when severe weather required a tractor to power its machinery.
The structure exemplifies industrial engineering from the late 18th century, representing the agricultural development of Norfolk's marshlands through water management.
Visitors can access the mill from April to September on second Sundays, with parking available at the Norfolk Wildlife Trust Hickling Broad Visitor Centre.
The mill contains one of the largest scoop wheels in the Broads and includes rare evidence of internal living quarters from its operational period.
