Hobb's Mill

Hobb's Mill

Hobb's Mill is an open trestle windpump which stands by the side of the River Bure in Horning, North Norfolk, England, and is a Grade II* listed structure.[1]

The mill was built before 1930, probably in the late 19th century. The frame is made of wood, with four braced cant posts standing on brick piers supporting a weatherboarded cap and fantail. In the picture the four sails are missing.

The mill was unique in that it was the only trestle mill to operate a scoopwheel. Both the mill and scoopwheel have been partly restored by the Windmill Trust.
