Bob Morse

I`ve just read on faceache about Bob Morse. He had a passion for mills since the age of 7, and always enjoyed reading or learning about wind power. He moved to Norfolk in 1947 and bought Thurne Mill in 1949 when a lot of mills were being demolished for scrap iron and rubble. As a result of his passion and hard work, Thurne Mill now stands high and proud, and is probably the finest advert for the Norfolk Broads. Yesterday January 2nd was the 13th aneversary of his passing, and he never saw the Mill restored to the standard it is today.  Without him, cruising the middlle Bure and Thurne would these days be very different.

The Morse Windmill Museum at Repps is worth a visit. A good collection of wind pumps to see, some of them working.

Thanks for that Nigel, where exactly is it, as i`d never heard of it before, and it sounds interesting. Definitely something to visit when in the area?.
