Read about Feltwell's Mills and Millers |
The Sails and spindles were ripped out during storms in 1908 and a few years later. Due to friction, fire was a hazard. The Mill was damaged by fire in 1927 It was considered to be a hazard to aircraft and was demolished in the late 1930s. Taken 18/3/32 | This is a very rare photo as the mill displays a sign which reads 'Daren Bread'. The chimney is from a steam generator brought in to replace the sails. Date unknown.
