Trouble at the Mill: The Remains of the Briggate Mill
The charred ruins of the former Briggate Mill, to be found between Worstead and North Walsham. There seems to be a degree of uncertainty as to the mill's exact age, but it is suggested that a mill has been on this site for at least two centuries. Finally closed in the late 1960s, Briggate Mill has since had a somewhat notorious history as it was set alight as part of an arson insurance scam.
