Belvue Tower, Briningham This attractive 4-storey high brick tower is a Grade II listed building. Originally built for use as a look-out tower it was later converted into a windmill and then into a folly. The lower stage is believed to date from the 16th century. The brick refacing was carried out when the building was converted into a smock windmill by Sir Jacob Astley 1st Bart, in the 18th century. The mill was replaced by the 4th Bart in 1781 when upper floors were added to make 5 domestic storeys, the lower stages of which are octagonal and the upper circular, topped by a battlemented parapet and stack. The attic with hipped tiled roof above the parapet is C20. A house was added in the 20th century.

Melton Street, Melton Constable Wholly untypical of rural Norfolk, Melton Constable has the ambiance of a northern industrial town, a product of the railway age, which in fact it was. The houses here were built in 1882 for workers at the new railway works and major junction close by. The works closed down in the 1930s and the last train ran in the 1960s but the old streets have remained.

Water tower, Melton Constable This impressive cast iron water tower was originally built in 1898 to supply water to the railway works and to the village. It remains as a monument to the railway age and Melton Constable&#039;s heritage but now stores water for irrigation purposes.

Entering Melton Constable, near site of former railway station, 1997 View eastward on B1354 Briston Road. The important key Station and Works of the former Midland &amp; Great Northern Joint Railway had been just off to the right. However, as early as 2/3/59 almost all of the M&amp;GN system had been closed, although the line from Sheringham survived for passengers until 6/4/64, for goods until 28/12/64. Virtually no trace remains of the latter-day Railways at Melton Constable in modern times.
