Ebridge Mill, Norfolk October 2011
Ebridge Mill was also sometimes known as North Walsham Mill. The old mill was 5 storeys high and built of red brick with a slate roof.
The mill remained in the ownership of the family within Cubbitt & Walker Ltd from 1869 - 1998 when it was sold to Duffields and subsequently closed.
When the goodwill of the flour milling business was sold to the Millers' Mutual Association in 1966, the milling machinery was broken up leaving the old mill as an ancillary to the new provender mill built alongside.
Heres a link.

Another interesting mill I checked out, some machinery remains and it’s untrashed, only problem is it’s full of pigeons and inches deep in their shite.My biggest mistake was not wearing a mask, by the time I hit the 5th floor it was nauseating.Some of the ladders between the floors are starting to rot so some care is needed, otherwise well worth a look.

The opinion i gathered off other reports is that its dodgy,I had no hesitation in crossing it.In fact this place is fairly safe compared to a lot of places ive visited.

I thought you had been before KE?
Kevsy: The only bit I find dodgy is the top floor, feels a bit soggy under foot. on the other hand its the best place to get pictures of the restoration work on the canal... one of my old teachers does it whenever there is a work party on that section...
