Caption

Drainage mill, Ludham, Norfolk, 1934. Areas of wetland and marsh that are prone to flooding frequently use windmills to pump water and help agriculture. While many windmills are put to this use in Europe, especially in Holland and the Low Countries, areas such as Norfolk also often use this system of drainage.
