Glasshouses Mill Dam

Created out of the River Nidd in the 1850's, to supply water to the Glasshouses Flax Mill - just downstream from here. The mill has now been converted into living accommodation, while the artificial lake is the preserve of water fowl and the odd angler.

Follows the River Nidd from Pateley Bridge - at this point sandwiched between a redundant mill race and a fish farm.

Yorke's Folly

habiloid

Old milepost

This milepost, one of several still by the roadside on roads radiating out of Ripon, was cast at the foundry of J Ingram in Ripon. In 2005 it was found by a Milestone Society member under a pile of grit salt. It was dug up, set further back nearer the wall and repainted. The Ripon and Pateley Bridge turnpike was first enacted in 1756 and lasted until the third quarter of the 19C so these posts may have been set up from the middle of the 19C.
