The North Norfolk Amateur Radio Group are participating in the Mills Weekend on 10/11 May 2014 from a location adjacent to the East Runton Windmill - east of Cromer on the North Norfolk Coast.
Please note - East Runton Windmill is now a private residence and is not open to the public - if you wish to drop in on GB2ERW between 10.00 and 16.00 on either the Saturday or Sunday then follow the sign off Mill Lane
    
The first reference to the mill at East Runton was in the early 1820's and was probably built by a Joseph Baker who married Susan Dawson, whose family owned the local brick works. The mill had four double shuttered sails which drove three pairs of stones. A large detached mill house was built close to the mill. The mill had a boat shaped cap and a six bladed fan. Records show that it was still working until at least 1908 but was derelict by 1926. The sails and fantail had been removed 1937 and the cap progressively disappeared in the 1980's. By the 1990's the brick structure had come into poor repair and undoubtedly it would have had to be demolished had it not been turned into a fine award winning home in 2000.
The photograph below left shows the mill in 1890 and the centre picture with the mill house was taken in 1909 - the mill house is little changed today. The picture on the right shows the mill today - a new cap and fantail has been created and an extension added to the mill.
