Billingford Mill
A typical brick tower mill complete with Norfolk boatshape cap, fantail and sails. Built in 1860 by George Goddard to replace an earlier post mill; it was the last working mill in Norfolk until 1956. Purchased by Victor Valiant for preservation it was given to the Norfold Windmills Trust and subsequently restored.
