Today
Today the mill still stands, and the aluminium cap is still in situ, However in 2001 a fire broke out inside the mill, due to vandals, this destroyed much of the remaining equipment on the inside of the mill and has blackened some of the external and internal brickwork. The scoopwheel is no longer in place, and remains of it can be seen beside the outside of the structure. The mill can be directly reached on the Yarmouth-Berney Arms path, however access is prohibited and a fence blocks access due to the unsafe state the structure is in.
