Background

History

Blackshore Mill, constructed around 1890 by Robert Martin, the Beccles millwright, was built after he secured the contract for its construction by outbidding Simon Nunn of Wenhaston. The mill operated for approximately four years before it was damaged when the windshaft broke at the poll end, causing the sails to be blown off. It remained in disrepair for many years until restoration efforts began in 2002 to preserve the historic structure.

Description

Blackshore Mill is a three-storey tower mill. It had a boat-shaped cap winded by a fantail. The four Patent sails were carried on a cast-iron windshaft. The tower is about 26 ft high and all machinery is of cast iron.
