This drainage pump on the River Thurne at Martham Broad was shown on Ordnance Survey maps as early as 1836, but was probably rebuilt by Dan England c 1900. In 1959 the remaining sails were removed.

I had a lot of waiting for the fog to clear sufficiently to get an image of the river but sadly it did not. I got a few of Thurne Wind pump in the foggy conditions before the long journey home.
I couldn't believe my luck when I could see a reflection in this dyke, and the light was perfect.
Horsey Windpump is one of the largest windpumps on the Norfolk Broads.
The name Horsey means horse island and being on the Broads, was not surprisingly, a marshy area. This is therefore just the last of several mills on this site, used to keep water levels under control. It was built in 1912 on the base of the previous mill by local millwright Dan England. The mill still has a millwright and works. It's now owned by the National Trust.

Horsey, Norfolk, England - 15th September, 2019
Looking rather sad at the moment and not really worth a visit. The image was taken as I was walking away disappointed. Two sails missing, difficult to get around to the front, and scaffolding. Nice light though.
