Dist:0.3km<br/>One would guess that the weir was constructed in the 19th century to provide a head of water for the mill race leading to Foster Beck Mill [see photos this square]. More water came along another channel from Brandstone Beck just above its confluence with Foster Beck.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Built in 1887, which is late for a water powered mill, this mill produced linen until the 1960's. The 34ft diameter wheel was supplied with water from nearby Foster Beck. At the time of Chris Coleman's photo the building was the 'Watermill Inn', but that has since closed and it has been converted into houses & flats. Anyone desperate for a drink need only go a few yards to the Bridge Inn.
