Garboldisham Post Mill - Stones

The compact nature of a post mill means the stones are close to the brake wheel and wallower. These are underdriven stones so there is more gearing underneath.

Garboldisham Post Mill

Garboldisham is Norfolk's oldest surviving post mill being built in the 1770s by James Turner, a farmer from Blo' Norton. The dates 1780 and 1789 (as well as many other dates and millers names) can be seen etched in wood or in surviving plaster. Inside the roundhouse is a small roller plant and bags of flour associated with the modern flour sales. Upstairs can be seen the machinery, much of it dating from the 1830s modernisation. All is present, including an interesting internal striking rod. Although not grinding at present it wouldn't require too much work, the sails are the main hurdle.
The mill can be viewed via appointment with the owner.
