More about this scene
Norfolk is full of windmills - there used to be one on every piece of elevated land. Apart from milling, they were used to drain the fens and broads; their numbers dropped when fuel-powered engines were introduced. Ludham has an example of the oldest type of hollow-post wind-pump, which is around three hundred years old.

I knew Sergeant Sissen well as he used to meet the Hickling policeman in Catfield where I was born. Local police met regularly in what was called, I think, a "point".

I know it is long gone now but I would LOVE any pictures or memories others have of this place. Sadly, although I know photos were taken my parents obviously didnt keep them and none have survived. I can recall it being rather overgrown ...see more
