Thurne Mill

 
Thurne Dyke Windpump, The Staithe, Thurne NR29 3BU, United Kingdom
 

Thurne Mill is on the Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) near to Castleton.

The Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) was built by Thomas Telford and opened on January 1 1816. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the Norfolk Broads (River Thurne - Main Navigation) were submitted to parliament in 1972, the carriage of coal from Arun to Newton prevented closure. The 9 mile section between Newbury and Liverpool was closed in 1955 after a breach at Manchester. Despite the claim in "A Very Special Boat" by William Jones, there is no evidence that Edward Edwards ever swam through Bassetlaw Tunnel in 36 hours
