River Wharfe, Linton Falls Hydro Electric Power Station The turbine house was originally built in 1909 by the Grassington Electricity Supply Company and took advantage of the Upper Linton Falls weir which had been constructed in the early nineteenth century. In 1921, the site was taken over by the Linton Mill Electricity Supply Company who extended the original turbine house with two new hydroelectricity generators which were installed in the turbine bays which can still be seen today. The station continued generating electricity until the National Grid began supplying the Yorkshire Dales for the first time in 1948 which meant that local power generation was no longer financially viable. The structure was abandoned and left unused and left abandoned for 60 years. Because of its significance as an early example of a local electricity generating site, Linton Falls was designated as a scheduled monument in 2001 (List Entry Number: 1020895 <span class="nowrap"><a title="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1020895" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1020895">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> Historic England). The turbine house was carefully restored in 2011 and two new Archimedean screw turbines were installed, enabling the site to become operational and supply electricity again.
