Yore Mill, Aysgarth

Yore Mill and the River Ure, Aysgarth, North Yorkshire.
The mill was built in 1784 as a cotton mill, but after a fire in 1852 it was rebuilt as both a corn and woollen mill. The mill’s woollen products included Balaclava hats for soldiers fighting in the Crimea and red shirts for Garibaldi’s revolutionary army of 19th century Italy!
The 16th century Yore Bridge was widened on this downstream side in 1788.
