Thetford, Mill Head 1929

More about this scene
The mill occupies an island between the two rivers, Thet and Little Ouse. In 1669 the course of the Little Ouse was cut and extended to Thetford, enabling barges to ply for the first time between the country towns of the region and the port of King's Lynn. By that date, however, Lynn had already declined in status as a port, and Thetford never gained the prominence as a trading centre it expected.
