First visit of the day on a recent explore with two non members. Great little place and an enjoyable explore although on the way out had a rather scary climb up into the rafters to rescue a dove hanging by its leg after a nasty looking metal hatch on some kind of metal chimney had closed onto its leg nearly taking it off. Horrible!! They will nest in anywhere. Hope it survives after putting it back into its nest as it was to dangerous to climb back down with it.
A little history...
Ebridge Mill is located on the North Walsham & Dilham canal. Like hundreds of similar mills in Norfolk, it was a watermill so relied a lot on the canal – both for deliveries and power. It had a water wheel which was removed in the 1970s. The mill was owned by Cubitt & Walker for 127 years – finally closing in 1998 when they were bought by local rival Duffield’s.
There were plans in 2006 to convert the mill into holiday homes. This plan seems to have fallen through and the company behind the scheme ceased trading at the end of 2007. The mill is now for sale…
