Hockwold Lower drainage pump River Little Ouse |
Hockwold two drainage windmills in the first half of the 1800s - a lower mill and an upper mill. |
Copy of estimate by John Richardson, millwright, for repairs to Upper_Mill in Hockwold District and Lower Mill in the Second District [both watermills] |
Vouchers, receipts etc. re estate expenses inc. carpenters' bills for repairs to watermills, receipts for payment of rates etc. |
Drainage mills were often called "water mills", or "water engines", and many of them had two or more names
including the "Upper" or "Lower" mills. This makes drainage and other mills
research interesting as do especially the social aspects. |
