<p>Horsey Windpump, Norfolk<br />
<br />
Have to say when I set off from my B&B and got here I wasn't expecting that sort of sky!<br />
<br />
Horsey Windpump is a windpump or drainage windmill in the care of the National Trust in the village of Horsey, on The Broads near Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. The structure is a grade II* listed building.<br />
In 1797 Horsey was a wild and desolate place, known locally as the Devil’s Country due to its wild and lawless nature. The Enclosures Act paved the way for the land to be drained and changed the area forever.<br />
The name Horsey means ‘Horse Island’ and it is believed that Horsey was originally a stud or grazing area for horses. Mortality was high, with insects carrying fen plague, also known as marsh malaria. With only seven cottages and a small farmhouse, Horsey was not somewhere people wanted to live.<br />
At this time, it was effectively still an island, surrounded by marshes with just one road in and out of the village that was often flooded for most of the year.<br />
<br />
Enclosure and drainage in the 18th century led to a loss of animals and plants, many of which are now rare. It also meant the end of a way of life for the local people who lived here and made their living from the marshes.<br />
Farming became easier and livestock was introduced but the sea was always a threat. When exceptionally high tides and storms coincided, the sea would break through the narrow strip of dunes, causing severe flooding, most recently in 1938.<br />
Only in the 19th century did the sea defences and land drainage become sufficiently effective to allow for the construction of roads to neighbouring villages. But with climate change causing more frequent storms and sea level rises, the risk of flooding in this low-lying area remains high.<br />
<br />
The present structure is the 3rd or 4th and was built in 1912 on the foundations of the 18th-century Horsey Black Mill.<br />
The windpump was working until it was struck by lightning in 1943. It was acquired by the National Trust in 1948 from the Buxton Family and has been restored. The mill's damaged sails were removed in 1956 and replacement sails and fantail were installed in 1962. The Great Storm of 1987 (Otherwise known as the Michael Fish non-hurricane to us in Britain of a certain age) caused further damage, and repair works were required before the building could reopen to visitors in 1990.<br />
The sails were removed again in 2014 and in 2016 a restoration project started ito repair and reinstate the cap and sails, with the ambition of restoring the Windpump to full working order. Finally, the sails eventually turned on the evening of Wednesday 29 May 2019 for the first time since 1943. This restoration work was awarded 'Building Conservation Project of the Year 2019' at The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) regional awards<br />

<br />
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 6100 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.<br />
<br />
The sulfide minerals contain one or more sulfide anions (S-2). The sulfides are usually considered together with the arsenide minerals, the sulfarsenide minerals, and the telluride minerals. Many sulfides are economically significant, as they occur commonly in ores. The metals that combine with S-2 are mainly Fe, Cu, Ni, Ag, etc. Most sulfides have a metallic luster, are moderately soft, and are noticeably heavy for their size. These minerals will not form in the presence of free oxygen. Under an oxygen-rich atmosphere, sulfide minerals tend to chemically weather to various oxide and hydroxide minerals.<br />
<br />
Chalcocite is a significant copper ore mineral having the formula Cu2S - copper sulfide. It has a metallic luster, a dark gray to black color and streak, no obvious cleavage, is moderately heavy for its size, and is moderately soft (H = 2.5 to 3). Chalcocite is found with other copper minerals such as chalcopyrite. It usually forms in the near-surface, secondary enrichment zone at and below the water table, in areas having copper mineralization. It also occurs as a primary mineral in some hydrothermal veins.<br />
<br />

<p>Spring and the narrow boats traffic is starting to increase.In the cold winters its hard to move around on the frozen canals but mild winters the boats are still active but come Spring the movement on the canals really takes off .Here on the Worcester & Birmingham canal at Tardebigge this boat has just cleared the lock the other side on the bridge is will makes its way down the the next lock...there are 30 locks in the flight stretching over 2 1/4 miles</p>
