The Morse wind pump collection

The late Bob Morse's private collection of wind pumps and drainage machines. In the foreground is an electrically operated scoop wheel that is seen operating with the discharge to the left. Various wind pumps are seen beyond and on the left is the Holmes of Norwich steam powered turbine pump that is now unique. This was seen on National Mills Weekend although the website had got the opening times wrong. Fortunately the owner kindly left us to wander at will. The weather was also dreadful and wet but did improve later
