Summary
[edit]DescriptionBarn at the Old Mill - geograph.org.uk - 885449.jpg |
English: Barn at the Old Mill. A Farm Machinery Dealership > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/883779 now occupies part of what is called the Old Mill, the site of a former steam mill in Dunkirk, which was built in 1864 on the other side of the River Bure and its canal, near the Millgate Mill > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/881948 - 885415 - 885420. The steam mill used to be owned by Barclay & Pallet and was acquired by British Oil & Cake Mills in 1967. The only original building along the still existing stretch of the hand-dug canal - part of the old Aylsham Navigation - appears to be this old barn which may once have been part of the steam mill; it is also possible that it used to be one of a range of brick and tiled granaries mentioned in a 1914 sale catalogue, along with 'two well built cottages'.
The completion of the Bure navigation canal (the so-called Aylsham Navigation) in 1773 brought further wealth to the prosperous town and led to the development around Millgate. William White's History, Gazetteer, and Directory of Norfolk 1845 reports that "The Bure, which washes the foot of the town, was formerly only navigable from Yarmouth to Coltishall, (11 miles below Aylsham bridge by the water, and 7 by land;) but in 1773, an act was obtained for extending the navigation to Aylsham, for boats of 14 tons burthen, drawing two feet five inches water, which was completed after many difficulties and interruptions, in Oct., 1779, at a cost of upwards of £6000, including the cost of the basin and wharfs near the bridge, where much business is done in coal, corn, timber, &c." On 26th August 1912 the great flood destroyed all locks and the Aylsham Navigation was closed; in 1967 the mill was vacated and in 1974 the Aylsham Canal basin was filled in.
