This Yore watermill, Aysgarth was built in 1854. It is on the site of a medieval fulling mill, next to the river crossing of Yore Bridge. It replaced a late 18th century cotton mill that burnt down in 1853. This was a combined corn and woollen mill.

By the late 19th century it was used only as a corn mill, making it one of the largest in the Dales. The listed mill joins workers' cottages, miller's house and Yore Bridge as listed buildings. It is now contains a craft shop and gallery.

Dark and satanic? Or fascinating and historical? All a question of perspective.

I first knew it in the 70s it would be as a cart and carriage museum. They are definitely fascinating and historic but non the worse for having a dark and brooding presence.
