Drainage Mill, Ludham, Norfolk W610

DRAINAGE MILL, Ludham, Norfolk. Areas of wetland and marsh that are prone to flooding frequently use windmills to pump water and help agriculture. While many windmills are put to this use in Europe, especially in Holland and the Low Countries, areas such as Norfolk also often use this system of drainage. Photographed by Herbert Edward Sidney Simmons in September 1934. Historic England is the public body that champions and protects England's historic places. © Historic England

Simmons), who skillfully captures the mill's reflection on calm waters below. The composition creates a sense of tranquility as we gaze upon this picturesque scene from nearly nine decades ago. Simmons' lens not only freezes a moment in time but also offers us a glimpse into the past – reminding us of our rich agricultural heritage and the ingenuity required to tame nature's forces for human benefit.
