Watermills

A dwelling-house and Shop, near the wind-mill, St Michael at Thorn were for sale in 1811. The wind-mill may have been a public house, but on the other hand it would be a good place to place a mill, being the same escarpment that the Black Tower on Carrow Hill stands on. A shop near the windmill on Ber Street was for sale in 1826. This mill is not a confirmed site altough it is a likely site.

There was a pub called the Windmill from 1760 to 1965 at 24 Ber Street. The origin of the name is not known but may indicate that a windmill stood there sometime in the mid-eighteenth century or earlier.

If you have any memories, anecdotes or photos please let us know and we may be able to use them to update the site. By all means telephone 07836 675369 or
