TG4522 : The old sluice gates
taken 15 years ago, near to Horsey, Norfolk, England
The old sluice gates
By Horsey mill. Water is being pumped to or from an adjoining drain, regulating water levels in the mill cut.
The present four storey mill was built in 1912, but a mill has stood on the site for over 200 years. The fully restored windpump, owned by the National Trust, is the only NT property in the Norfolk Broads which is open regularly. Horsey used to be a hotbed of smuggling and the sails of windmills were used for signalling in order to warn of approaching customs and excise men.
