The public house was named after the landowner Thomas Trench Berney who owned the Reedham Cement Works centred on the [[Berney Arms Windmill]].  The mill was built in 1865 and is the tallest [[windmill]] in Norfolk at {{convert|21.5|m|ft}} tall. It was used to grind [[Clinker (cement)|cement clinker]] and was later converted into a drainage mill. It closed in 1948 and is now a [[Scheduled Monument]] in the care of [[English Heritage]].<ref name=pastscape>{{PastScape|mnumber=133775 |mname=Berney Arms Windmill|accessdate= 19 February 2014}}</ref><ref name="NHLE">{{NHLE |num=1003957 |desc=Berney Arms windmill |access-date=13 January 2022}}</ref> At one point the mill supported a small settlement of 11 domestic dwellings and a chapel.<ref name=lca>{{cite web |url=http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/broads/live/planning/landscape-character-assessment/Area_19_-_Halvergate_Marshes.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223140508/http://www.broads-authority.gov.uk/broads/live/planning/landscape-character-assessment/Area_19_-_Halvergate_Marshes.pdf |archive-date=23 February 2014 |title=Local character area 19 – Halvergate marshes (excluding Bure loop and the west of Tunstall dyke) |work=Broads Landscape Character Assessment |publisher=[[Broads Authority]]|date=2006 |access-date=13 January 2022}}</ref> Berney sold the land on which the railway was built, on the condition that a stopping place was built to serve the settlement in perpetuity.<ref name=roughguide /><ref name=guardian>{{cite news |last=McKie |first=David |url=https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2010/jul/11/the-strangest-of-railway-stations |title=The rail to nowhere |newspaper=The Guardian |date=11 July 2010 |access-date=13 January 2022}}</ref><ref name=slow>{{cite book |last=Mitchell |first=Laurence |date=2010 |title=Slow Norfolk and Suffolk |publisher=Bradt Travel Guides |pages=130–131 |asin=B009XQA69C}}</ref>
