The ORIGINAL Boston in Lincolnshire

So are the Fens in Norfolk, Boston, both or was it an error on your part?

I am pleased that you found it in The Fens.

Sorry, but Berney Arms Windmill is on the Norfolk Broads, absolutely not in The Fens. The two are a long distance apart.

The Broads are on the east side of Norfolk, and the Fens on the west side. There is a lot of Norfolk in between, and very nice it is too  :)

There is a location map here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berney_Arms_Windmill

Well done PC.

I was thrilled that I found it too - usually hopeless but 'windmill by a river with a walking platform' found it.  :)

PC was just a bit too quick.  :) With all those windmills I'm amazed that you both managed to find it more or less at the same time and so early in the quest.  :)

Possibly the Fens, or near Boston,
Drainage dykes?

Hey SB that's a bit sneaky! You added "Drainage Dykes?" after the windmill had been identified and we were given the link mentioning this was a drainage windmill.

(I quoted your original post at my reply#7 and JenB quoted you in reply #19  ;D)

Berney Arms WIndmill in Norfolk?

http://www.norfolkmills.co.uk/WindmillsD/reedham-berney-arms-drainage.html and scroll down, there's a couple of good pics at the bottom of the page, clearly showing the drainage wheel alongside. The water is the River Yare

Very well done PrawnCocktail. Your speed and accuracy took the wind out of my sails. Great detection work and thanks to everyone who responded. It did generate some interest and FUN....back to the grind
