Information |
Hobb's Mill, also known as 'Hobbs Drainage Mill', is an open trestle windpump which stands by the side of the River Bure in Horning, in Norfolk, within the Norfolk Broads. It is a Grade II* listed structure.[1]
The mill was built before 1930, probably in the late 19th century. The frame is made of wood, with four braced cant posts standing on brick piers supporting a weatherboarded cap and fantail. In the picture, the four sails are missing.
The mill was unique in that it was the only trestle mill to operate a scoop wheel.
Both the mill and scoop wheel have been partly restored by the Windmill Trust.
