Hobb's drainage pump River Bure |
Hobb's open trestle drainage mill or windpump was erected in the late 1800s and ceased working in the 1930s. The Grade ll listed structure stands beside the River Bure on the Ferry View Estate.

Trestle draining mill. Late C19, restored 1983. Timber. 4 cant posts stand
on brick piers and rise to cap frame braced by cross members. Weatherboarded
cap and fantail with all machinery. Windshaft projects but no stocks and
sails. This mill drove a scoopwheel (currently under restoration) and is
unique as only trestle mill to do so. N.B. Fritton_St_Olaves was originally built with a scoopwheel - JJN British Listed Buildings - 2019 |
Only 3 open trestle windpumps are recorded in Norfolk - Fritton_St_Olaves; Horning Hobb's and Ludham_Boardman's |
