Ebridge Mill, CubbitT and Walker. July 2012.

[Black Shuck]

Ebridge Mill was also sometimes known as North Walsham Mill. The old mill was 5 storeys high and built of red brick with a slate roof. The mill was built over the River Ant, which later became the North Walsham & Dilham Canal.

The mill remained in the ownership of the family within Cubbitt & Walker Ltd from 1869 - 1998 when it was sold to Duffields and subsequently closed.

When the goodwill of the flour milling business was sold to the Millers' Mutual Association in 1966, the milling machinery was broken up leaving the old mill as an ancillary to the new provender mill built alongside. Taken from Norfolk Mills.

Indeed it is, said to be by a fellow explorer in Norfolk, as nothing but a large Garden shed full of Pigeons

Luckily enough I didn't make the top floor, there was a 50 foot drop down seen through a hole under the stairs on the third floor. That was plenty high enough for me!

Thanks some really good photos, bought back some memories for me my first job in the sixties was working with a millwright all over Norfolk repairing the machinery.I worked at one mill in coltishall.It had a stationary single cylinder engine which we had to strip down the piston weighed 5 cwt you had to get into the cylinder to push the piston out far enough to get a block and tackle on it.The flywheel which was massive weighed a ton & half.
Aargh the good ole days A
