Eaton mill was marked on a 1741 map and also on Faden's map of 1797. It is most likely that the mill was a postmill although this has yet to be confirmed.

The site was to the North of Daniels Road, mid-way between Ipswich Road and Newmarket Road and the mill stood about 100 feet above sea level.

To be LETT or Sold, A Windmill,

one mile from St. Stephen's Gates, with all her going Gears, one Pair of French Stones, and a FLOUR MILL, all in exceeding good Repair.
For Particulars enquire of Mr. John Brown, Baker, near St. Michael's Coslany Bridge, Norwich.
