Horsey Windpump, Norfolk. - a photo on Flickriver

Horsey Windpump, Norfolk.

            Taken early morning as the mist was lifting. 

Built in 1912 on the foundations of the 18th century Horsey Black mill, working until 1943 when it was struck by lightening.
The National Trust acquired it in 1948 from the Buxton family but by 1953 the wind pump had fell into disrepair and became derelict.
By 1956 SPAB (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings) on behalf of the National Trust started the appeal to restore Horsey Wind Pump.
Since the 50's other repairs have been carried out with the most recent project starting in 2016, with the restoration of the Cap and sails at a cost of £260,000. The project was completed in 2019 and the wind pump is now open again.
