About me.

User originally from Kent, England.

I live in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk. My hobbies and interests include molinology, deltiology, civil aircraft, railways and Dutch. I have been researching the windmills, millers and millwrights of Norwich for a number of years. The results of my (ongoing) research can be found on the Norfolk Mills website.
