Reedham Ferry drainage mill was built in the 1840s with common sails to drive a single scoop wheel and was brought to wind with a tail pole.
In later years the mill was known as the Red Mill.

In the 1890s the millwrights Englands, modernised the machinery and fitted double shuttered patent sails. The Norfolk boat shaped cap held a fantail.
