I went here on a school visit in about 1977. Great views

Having grown up in a mill I love to see them working still, just beautiful engineering

That you can only get to Burney arms mill by boat is an oft repeated myth ! In the 70s and 80s we would often drive over to the mill for a beer and some lighthearted amusement watching the hire craft arrive on a Saturday evening. The track starts at Wickhampton church, crossing the railway line just west of Burney Arms station and then on to the mill. One night the autumnal mists came down and we had a bit of a problem until we realised that not one but 2 new gates had been fitted on the same field !

I love windmills ♥ Specially american style aermotor!!! Windmills are amazing giants, I wish they could talk 💨 🔩

I have loved windmills since I was a child, especially the AERMOTOR American styles. I always dreamed of having one. When I started working, I saved up little by little to buy one and finally I bought it, my dream came true. I love my Aermotor #8 windmill. Thanks for the video ♥ 🙏🏼 Windmills are wonderfull and strong giants 💪

What a fabulous film! The way of life has changed due to modern technology of course, otherwise, this lovely corner of England is just the same. It is as beautiful as it ever was :)

Belo history ...

Many of the Dutch windmills that used to drain the land can still be made workable in no time. With changing climate they can be used to assist when modern ways are not enough

Its in a right state now!!

This mill is now in a right state! June 2024 was down there at the weekend. It will soon be lost unfortunately.

What, no pinkfeet or wigeon???

I was 7 in 75, living in a coastal city in SW England . Never realised how much the country would change for the worse in.the next 50 years. But thinking about it,.we shouldn't be that surprised, just look how things changed from1925 to 1975.

That kid’s Norfolk accent when asking about the “boots” on the river near Norwich is a hidden gem.

Rich Tory farmers that out profit over the environment. They were complaining about the EEC when they were getting subsidies and now they complain they can’t sell abroad because of Brexit, when most of them voted to leave because they thought it would be more profitable. Now they know they were lied to.

Now 2024 and there are still plenty of birds/wildlife on Halvergate

That was a sweet video❤

The windmill lazily turning on the hilltop, down below in the valley the wheel at the watermill revolves as the thundering current pours down the sluice and cascades over the top, the bells ring out from the village church and a farmer in the hay meadow stops his horses long enough in the shade to wipe his brow and smoke his pipe....

Prophetic words at 15.25 to 30. Another world lovely thanks

Windmills are fantastic examp[es of timber engineering, and stand as testament to the craftsman that built them.

Lovely bit of nostalgia, thanks.

look what they took from us...

This has been absolutely fascinating and I think I’m going to watch again and take some notes on how he filled his book, what he questioned, how he responded to his own questions, and that he used “newspaper clippings.” Thank you so much for sharing this to us. I feel blessed now!

I lived next door to this place, and it's a beautiful place in a really nice area. When i seen the two people in the video i thought it was Helen, and Dave😁 who are also really nice people.

Pakenham windmill is in Suffolk near Ixworth

Thank you for uploading this wonderful piece of History

Love these videos, I always dreamt of buying an old windmill to live on, but it wasn’t meant to be. Looking forward to watching the rest of the back catalogue of vids 👍

Bloody EEC and their wheat surpluses.

I bet that took a lot of skill and know how just to get them thimgs going

Gorgeous upload.

❤

Excellent news!

That windmill at the start is called over windmill near Longstanton in Cambridgeshire. You can see here this is what the area looked like before The Cambridge Guided Busway Got introduce. It is very facinating to look at and has a lot of history and is still fully working to this day!

I’m an American. I wish we had these in our country.

“Alright. Alright… ain’t gonna hurt ya”. - pulls out a pistol 😂

I agree, Antonio should be producing videos. He is very interesting. Thank you for the interview 😊

Fascinating and educational. I wonder if you could get a grant to upscale the video? It certainly deserves it.

Love the music

it's lovely to see it looking good again .

What a wonderful legacy Ted has left us, indeed a life's work very well done. I have a lovely photograph of Ted and my father in law, David Platten, standing on a frozen Hickling Broad. My father in law lived and breathed the broads, painting scenes of his beloved village and it's wildlife. It's a fantastic image of two very similar souls having a yarn in the countryside.

Interesting Guess they are water mills rather than flour Not used now so how do they drain the land Did they drain to keep cattle on , don’t know much about that area Can anyone tell me please 🙏🏻

Not much info about this mill Was it flour or drainage ? The fact that it’s named would possibly suggest flour but maybe not .

Aw

it'll be nice to see her sails go back up again .

Really enjoy watching these old broads videos , my father worked for may gurney for 44 years , dredging ,Pilling and construction work on the broads. He would have most probably told me the dredger in the video was grab 4 or 7 with a smiths 26 crane in there , lol ,,

I THINK ALL THESE RESTORED MILLS SHOULD BE WORKING TO ACTUALLY GRIND CORN OR WHEAT OR EVEN RICE. IT SEEMS A PITY TO JUST HAVE THEM STANDING THERE LOOKING MAJESTIC!!

I'VE JUST HAD AN IDEA TO BE ABLE TO UNFURL HUGE WINDMILL SAILS WITHOUT HAVING TO CLIMB UP 40 FEET. IF THE SAILS WERE WRAPPED AROUND A CYLINDER AS HIGH AS THE BLADE ITSELF AND HELD IN PLACE AT THE TOP BY A CHANNEL. THOSE SAILS COULD BE SETUP IN SECONDS.

A GREAT VIDEO BUT IF HOLLYWOOD CAN INCREASE THE 1939 FILM'S PICTURE QUALITY, SO CAN YOU AS THIS IS BARELY VISIBLE!!

ONE VIDEO I LOVED WAS THE STORY OF CHRISTMAS ON THE VICTORIAN FARM. THIS SHOWED A WORKING WINDMILL AND WAS FASCINATING. I'VE ALWAYS LOVE HISTORY LIKE THIS!!

I now live in Somerleyton and am wondering who owns and who is protecting the mill now so it is not lost?
