postmill

Norfolk Windmills

Weybourne postmill was situated just to the southeast of Weybourne watermill adjacent to the millpond.

In the 1920s, Weybourne_towermill underwent restoration and all the machinery was removed except the windshaft.
At the same time the post from Weybourne postmill was incorporated into the Mill house alongside the towermill. The post held up a main beam on the ground floor and on the floor above a cash box had been cut into it with an 8" square cover.
