Summary edit
| Description |
English: Hardley Mill Overlooking the Hardley Marshes, with the sugar factory in Cantley seen in the background (in adjacent grid square).
Hardley windmill was a drainage pump operating beside the River Yare. It was powered by an Appold turbine > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1419494 capable of rising 12 tons of water per minute via a 12 ft high vertical shaft of 5 ft in diameter > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1419497. Built in 1874 > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1419489 for Sir Thomas Proctor Beauchamp > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1419492 by the Ludham millwright Dan England it operated until about 1950 when it was damaged, abandoned and replaced by an electrical drainage pump. Restoration work was started in 1991 under the leadership of architect Peter Grix. By 2005 structural work both inside and outside the tower was complete. Cap and sails were restored in the following years and the sails will go up any day now. Besides bringing the mill back to full working condition funding has been made available for a visitor centre which will also function as a drop-in centre for walkers on the Wherryman's Way long distance footpath between Great Yarmouth and Norwich. New moorings > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1419486 have been constructed in order to provide for visiting boats. For a view of the mill taken a year ago see > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/810460. For more information see: http://www.hardley-windmill.org.uk/index_files/Page340.htm Built in 1912, the sugar factory was the first British beet sugar factory. Today the factory employs a permanent workforce of 112 - 155, processing an average of 1.3 million tonnes of beet annually. Approximately 1,200 tonnes of crystal sugar are produced daily, and the six silos used for storing it have a capacity of 10,000 tonnes each. The factory also produces 80,000 tonnes of sugar beet feed in pellet form per season. |
