Scotton Mill on the River Nidd

We are walking in the River Nidd Gorge further west of Knarsborough,at the site of the old Scotton Mill. I am actually stood on the old weir which until recently, I was told, always had a fine flow of water pouring down its right bank. Flooding and a change in the river course has changed all of that now.

Hi Keith. I think that first building might have had a real connection to the mill but the others are all Des-Res's now. I think the left side was dammed to control water to a water wheel whilst the river proper ran over the weir to the right. Tries some research on the web but nothing concrete found. I talked to a dog walker who furnished the info about the original river course.
Glad you liked the scene and my comosition.

Regards, Herb
