Pin Mill is a waterside hamlet of Chelmondiston. A red sail of a London sailing barge often seen racing at Pin Mill dominates the sign. The film “Ha'penny Breeze” was shot entirely at Pin Mill in 1950. Arthur Ransome lived in Pin Mill and used the river as his setting for the Swallows & Amazons. Two sheaves of corn below represent the more agricultural Chelmondiston. The windmill at the very top is broken and the sails flail in the breeze.
