south postmill |
Wiveton had a small post windmill that worked until 1850 that stood just to the south of the mill shown on Faden's map in 1797. The mill had a roundhouse and used two pairs of patent sails on 35ft. stocks attached to a 14ft windshaft to power a single pair of 4ft. French burr stones, a flour mill and jumper. One pair of sails was double shuttered and the other pair was single shuttered. By 1825 a bake office was being operated on the site. |
