More about this scene
This is one of two mills on the north bank of the Wharfe. Upstream is Flint Mill (operational from 1772 to 1954, now converted to a house); this is the larger Thorp Arch Manor Mill, recorded in the Doomsday Book. It has been used to make paper, to mill flax, to turn wooden bobbins and to mill corn. It finally closed as a mill in 1958, but a part of the building was used for the manufacture of electric blankets. In 1990 the mill was converted into twelve flats.
