Morse's wind engine park
Bob Morse had a fascination with windmills since he was a young man, which stepped up a notch in 1947 when he purchased the then very derelict Thurne Mill. In 18 months, with the help of Albert England, a direct descendant of England's of Ludham, the Millwright family who built the Mill in 1820, the tower was restored. The mill is now leased to the Norfolk Windmill Trust who have very successfully continued with the restoration.
Bob continued his work by rescuing derelict wind engines and restoring them to their original condition. Morse's Wind Engine Park now has a historical collection of unique wind engines and a scoopwheel dating back to the nineteenth century.
