Cowgate
The view is of Cowgate looking south. The white building in the background is the Green Dragon Inn - once a haunt of Dick Turpin. The beck, mill dam and church are just to the left. Welton once had 3 water mills - the last of which was working into the 1950s

2 High Street
I spent an idyllic childhood in Wargrave from 1944 until 1955/6. It was wonderful. We moved on to Twyford when I was 11 as our house was torn down and replaced by the fish shop. I wonder if the Chapel which was behind these houses is ...Read more

Just north of Leyburn is this fine village complete with a large green.
Situated at the northern top of the green is the metal sign, showing a tower mill.
This village has three greens.
Taken east of Bassetsbury, this view looks across the mill pond (now filled in) to Marsh Green Mill, first mentioned in 1759, but probably much earlier.
This post mill ceased working in 1947, but its fabric and machinery are maintained by English Heritage.
The Green Congregational Chapel replaced an earlier one near to the Kings Mills.
This photograph shows Little Green with Hall Water Mill on the left side.
The stream ran down from Pen Hill through this pond to provide motive power for the corn mill over the road and below the Heifer Inn.
Around the village green stands this collection of cottages leading back to St Michael's Church (1552).
Part of this mill's old machinery was transferred to the windmill at Wrea Green.
On the east side of the 5-acre village green, now used for cricket matches, is the Hall, built in 1732.
The eight daily coaches would have passed the Bull and Horseshoes at Potter Street, the Queen's Head at Churchgate Street, the Green Man at Mulberry Green and the George at the end of the High Street.
Crakehall, 1 mile north of Bedale, is two villages in one - this is Little Crakehall, with its race (left) for three corn and flax mills.
This is in essence the same building today; it is now painted white and green, with bigger windows and no veranda, surrounded by the car park.
The massive mill on the right, part of the Bowling Green complex, still stands, and is now used by Damart.
This is Fort Green Mill.
It was only a mile away that George Fox, the Quaker, stood on the 'nick' of Pendle in 1652 and declared himself moved to start a religious order, the Society of Friends.
Chartham occupies a low-lying site about a large green.
Adjacent to the former King's Mill, the lane leads via the Green to the ford of the River Whitewater.
We are looking upstream, towards St Michael's Church, from the old quay; until the 1950s, Thames barges delivered grain here to Green's Mill.
Although yet early, the mill by the roadside is already at work, and the forge of the blacksmith's shop at the Reigate Road corner is in full blast.
The view looks north across this attractive village that is grouped around a small green.
Just behind it on the green stands the town's windmill, still a famous landmark.
What is there more pleasurable than to take a rowing boat out onto a picturesque, well-treed lake, to escape for an afternoon of peace and relaxation away from Leicester's factories and mills?
