Palmer's Drainage Windmill is located to the north of Upton Dyke close to the village of Upton in the English county of Norfolk.^[1] Upton Dyke runs westerly from the River Bure in the civil parish of Upton with Fishley^[2] . The Drainage mill can be found to the east of the village of Upton.

Description[]

Palmer's Drainage Windmill is of an interesting design being one of only two ‘Hollow Post’ drainage mills left on the broads, the other being Clayrack Drainage Mill. The mill has a miniature cap and sails based on its more traditional big brother tower drainage mills which can be seen on other parts of the Norfolk Broads. It is winded by a pair of tail vanes.

History[]

Also like Clayrack drainage windmill, Palmer's drainage windmill is not on its original position. It was moved in 1976 from its previous site near Acle.^[3]
