Cley postmill was an open trestle mill that stood on Mill Hill.

The mill was depicted in an Eastern Daily Press advert for Mandell's Gallery, Norwich on 27th October 1978. The advert contained a print of Coastal Scene by the Norwich School artist Henry Bright (1810-1873)

The Hill is now known as Well Hill because of a well at its foot. This ios no doubt, the well for Mill Cottage long since demioished.

During the first half of the nineteenth century the mill (towermill) was owned by John Farthing and let to John Lee, a merchant. John Lee, a prominent person, not only rented the mill from Mr. Farthing but also a granary, coal house, stable & cart shed, while from George Legge he rented two malthouses, a coal house and a house.
