II
Roundhouse of former post mill. Mid C19, containing late C18
trestle. Gault brick: boarded conical roof (partly missing).
Circular on plan.
EXTERIOR: 3 storeys. Ground and first floor openings to each
quarter. Small-paned cast-iron windows under segmental brick
arches. Boarded entrance door to west; 1st floor loading
half-door to south; later doorway to north.
INTERIOR: brick piers support oak trestle of late C18 mill,
the main post cut off just above the joint with the quarter
bars. Unusual 1st floor structure, with 4 beams spanning
between the piers to form a square, within which are further
squares set diagonally to each other, leaving a central
octagonal void.
At 2nd floor level are 3 bins and a sack hoist bollard which
served engine driven machinery, including a pair of
millstones, now removed.
HISTORY: the mill, one of the tallest in Suffolk, was
dismantled in 1907. This, the remaining roundhouse, is a good
late example, dating from the time the mill was raised as a
result of encroaching residential development.
