Darley Mill
|
Darley Mill was built in the 17th century on the banks of the River Nidd. A flour mill originally, with a miller's cottage and walled garden added in 1761, the Mill was re-powered by a large locally-manufactured iron waterwheel in 1874. The 27 ft pitch shot wheel finally ceased to operate in the 1950's. Darley Mill was carefully restored in 1985 into a retail outlet selling a variety of linens, crafts and clothing. The mill building is listed, and it retains the original machinery including the waterwheel. Facilities include a children's play area, a 60-seater
licensed restaurant with outside terrace and free onsite
parking. The Mill Centre is open every day all year
round.
