Mundesley Village

Watermill.

The mill wheel which is still visible behind a metal grill in Paston Road is in a bad state of repair after the mill itself was burnt down in 1956 and finally demolished in 1965. Originally built in 1723, it is one of only a few examples of an overshot mill in Norfolk. Its 26ft diameter wheel was once turned by millions of gallons of water per day at the height of its working life. The River Mun now bypasses the millwheel and runs under the road to the sea.
