Flixton Road Mill is a tower mill at Bungay, Suffolk, England which has been truncated and converted to residential accommodation. The structure is a Grade II listed building.
Flixton Road Mill was built in 1830. It worked by wind until 1918 when it was struck by lightning. Later, it was truncated by one storey and converted to residential accommodation.[1]
Flixton Road Mill was a six storey tower mill with a boat shaped cap. It had four Patent sails[1] of ten bays[2] and was winded by a fantail. There was a stage at second floor level and the mill drove three pairs of millstones.[1] Auxiliary power was by an engine, with the external drive belt enclosed in a wooden casing.[2]
