This unusual structure was once a cleverly disguised 30,000 gallon water tank intended to serve the holiday village of Thorpeness, north of Aldeburgh in Suffolk. Originally called 'The Gazebo', the clapboarded structure was completed in 1923 at the behest of Scottish landowner, playwright and barrister G. Stuart Ogilvie to serve the village before it had a mains water supply. The first inhabitants of the five storey house renamed it after a children's poem penned within.

This post mill built in 1824 was originally a corn mill at the nearby village of Aldringham
but was purchased and moved to it's present site to replace a unattractive wind pump
and converted to pump water to the water tower nearby.
