Background

History

South Marsh Mill was built in 1830. It was working by wind until 1915, when the windshaft snapped in a gale, but was worked by engine until 1922. The machinery was removed c.1941.

Description

South Marsh Mill is a five-storey tower mill. It had four Patent sails carried on a cast iron windshaft. The cap was a beehive shape, winded by a fantail. The mill drove three pairs of millstones. The cap now carried is a hexagonal shape. The fantail is missing. Various extensions have been made to the tower.
