Full Description
22 September 1976. Site visit by E. Rose (NAU).
Drainage pump.
Low brick tower with later pointed cap, now ruinous. Used as cow shed.
E. Rose (NAU) 22 September 1976.
Suggested by [1] owner of adjacent mill NHER 10429, as a wind driven pump converted to steam power and the only one of its kind in Norfolk.
To be restored by him?
See for comparison (S1) in file under NHER 10429.
E. Rose (NAU) 21 January 1986.
(S2) refers to a steam engine erected at Nog Dam End to help the windpumps which continued in use until replaced by an electric pump; it has a windmill to the north; 'nothing remains on site except a derelict building'. Though this does not sound very much like this site, no other pumphouse is shown on (S3).
E. Rose (NLA) 26 January 2001.
Windpump fisrt shown on (S4).
E. Rose (NLA) 7 June 2002.
