This is New Mill: despite its name, it has existed for centuries. Three pairs of stones were driven by a water wheel, and produced 100 sacks of flour a week in 1869.
The mill was converted to holiday accommodation as early as 1921. The church in the distance is not Cley but Blakeney.
Corn milling by water power is an ancient industry. The watermill at Crumplehorne, in the valley just above Polperro village, is a good example of an overshot waterwheel and its launder.
On the right is a statue of Richard Oastler, who fought against the use of child labour in the mills.
This is Fort Green Mill. It has a brick tower which once had four patent sails and a fantail. It was converted to a private house in 1902.
The tongues must have wagged when the first residents moved into the Mill House on Crags Path.
Behind is High's drainage mill, still complete with sails and with a fantail to turn the cap so that the sails are taking up the wind.
The old mill dates from the 15th century.
This tower mill still stands, though it is now a private house and has lost its sails.
Flatford Mill, built in 1733, featured in several of Constable's works. This thatched cottage is called, appropriately enough, Bridge Cottage.

This part of the Great Ouse has several mills at Eaton Socon, and also at St Neots.
There was once a Victorian mill here, though that has now been replaced by housing. Nearby is the site of a Knights Templar hospice founded in 1274.
A mill chimney is prominent to the left, while in the background is Smedley Hydropathic Establishment, which provided a popular cure for all sort of ills.
The road behind retains the name; here the most prominent building is Finch & Co's flour mills.
Lower Bittell Reservoir was built to compensate mill owners for this loss.
One of the college's more interesting pupils was Joseph Wright who had begun working at Salt's Mill, Saltaire when he was just seven years old.
