31st October 1893 |
Caister East tower mill was 42 foot high red brick mill that stood adjacent to Beach Road. In 1835 the mill was using two pairs of French Stones and a flour powered by sails on a cast iron windshaft. In 1842, common sails had recently been replaced by double shuttered patent sails. Also on the site at that time were a dwelling house, suitable storage, garden and a newly erected bakehouse. |
