A Memory of Grassington.
The mill in the photograph is Low Mill at Grassington. My ancestor William Irving lived here with his family before 1820 until his death in 1843 aged 84. He was a woolcomber. His son James Irving also lived here with his family until his death in 1873 age 93. He was an overlooker. The mill in the photograph has three sections. It is only the centre section which has been demolished. The other two sections are now used as houses and the largest building also incorporates a dental surgery. In the 17th century a smelt mill was built to the left of the stream near Low Mill. The smelt mill has also been demolished.
