Scalegill Mill
Scalegill Mill – former Cotton Mill
There has been a mill on this site since C13. The present building was built in 1794/5 as a Cotton mill. It is situated on the side of the River Aire about half a mile north of Kirkby Malham. Originally there was a Corn mill, then a Flax mill, then a Woollen mill, on this site. It has subsequently been used as a woodworking shop and a chicken hatchery
Its present usage is as holiday apartments and holiday cottages. To the rear is a mill race which links the mill to the millpond which would be used to power the mill machinery.
