EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the majestic beauty of the Horsey Drainage Mill, also known as Windmill, Norfolk OP04512. Standing tall against a clear blue sky, this four-storey red brick tower wind pump is a true testament to Norfolk's rich history and architectural heritage. The mill's boat-shaped cap, petticoat, gallery, and four sails add an enchanting touch to its already picturesque appearance. Interestingly, the sails are set in a diagonal position which holds a fascinating story within itself. Legend has it that this unique positioning served as a warning to Broads smugglers during their illicit activities - signaling that Customs men were on patrol and ready to intercept any illegal trade. Although time took its toll on this remarkable structure in the 1950s when it fell into disrepair, hope was not lost. In 1961, thanks to dedicated restoration efforts by passionate individuals who recognized its historical significance, the mill was brought back to life. Today, it stands proudly once again and is fully functional. This mesmerizing photograph was captured by Hallam Ashley in April 1963. Through his lens and expert eye for detail, he beautifully immortalized this iconic piece of Norfolk's landscape for generations to come. It serves as both a visual reminder of our past and an inspiration for preserving our cultural treasures for future enjoyment.
