Langley Detached drainage pump River Yare |
Langley Detached mill was built to stand alone on the 2,000 acre Haddiscoe Island some 30 yards from the River Yare. In later years the mill became known as the Red Mill, partly because the 4 storey red brick tower held a red painted Norfolk boat shaped cap. |
In 2010, the Norfolk boat shaped cap still housed the cast iron windshaft and some machinery.
