Stracey Arms Windpump

[2] It is a four-storey drainage mill with a tapering red brick tower and a boat shaped weatherboarded cap.

The internal machinery is in working order and drives a turbine pump.

[1] The pump was used to drain the surrounding marshland into a channel leading to the River Bure, but was superseded by an electric pump installed in an adjacent building.

The mill was built in 1883 by Robert Barnes of Great Yarmouth and was extensively modified in 1912.

During the Second World War it was converted into a fortified pillbox with gun ports in the sides.
