Summary edit

Description
English: Hardley Mill - the drive shaft. Hardley windmill > 1419476 was a drainage pump operating beside the River Yare. It was powered by an Appold turbine > 1419494 capable of rising 12 tons of water per minute via a 12 ft high vertical shaft of 5 ft in diameter. Built in 1874 > 1419489 for Sir Thomas Proctor Beauchamp > 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 > 1419486 have been constructed in order to provide for visiting boats. For a view of the mill taken a year ago see > 810460.
