Ebridge Mill: A Historic Landmark of Norfolk

Located beside the North Walsham and Dilham Canal, Ebridge Mill is a key piece of Norfolk’s industrial heritage. Built in the early 19th century as a watermill, it played a crucial role in the local grain trade. As industry advanced, the mill embraced steam power and grew into a vital part of the region’s economy.

The nearby canal enabled efficient transport of flour and other goods, linking the mill to wider markets. Though milling operations ceased in the 20th century, the mill has since been thoughtfully converted into residential homes.

Today, Ebridge Mill stands as a lasting reminder of Norfolk’s agricultural and industrial past, preserved for future generations.
