Berney Arms is a seven-storey brick-built windmill located in Norfolk, England, erected in the 1860s as a drainage mill to serve the surrounding marshland. The tower mill stands as a notable example of Victorian industrial architecture and represents the engineering solutions applied to water management in the Norfolk Broads during the nineteenth century. Its cylindrical brick construction and substantial height made it an effective structure for pumping water to regulate levels across the fens. The mill now stands as an isolated monument in the landscape, reflecting the importance of mechanical drainage infrastructure to the agricultural development of this region and survives as a designated ancient monument demonstrating the technological achievements of its period.
