Harpley Mill- Norfolk - Windmills on Waymarking.com

This is partially hidden by trees and approached by an overgrown track.

Harpley tower mill was built in 1832 to replace the earlier postmill on the same site. The 6 storey tarred red brick tower stood adjacent to the mill house and a selection of outbuildings.
As late as 1889 the mill was still using common sails to power 3 pairs of stones.
The mill had an Ogee cap with a gallery, stage and fan. The sails revolved in a clockwise direction with the stones thus being driven anticlockwise.
