Ludham bridge south drainage mill stood just to the southeast of Ludham bridge on the north bank of the river. The mill was also known as Beaumont's Mill as it was run by Charles Beaumont in its latter years. At one point the tower was heightened. The mill had an Norfolk boat shaped cap and a fantail. The two pairs of odd patent sails were struck via a chain pole.
