Glasshouses Mill

Former large flax mill located beside the River Nidd. Much has changed since my last visit, where there was an air of dilapidation about the place. The buildings have seen major sympathetic renovation, and conversion into apartments and living accommodation. Grade II Listed. SE1764 : The Mill, Glasshouses

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.
