History Of Scalby Mills, Scarborough. Part 3 of 7. Waterwheels

My History Of Scalby Mills, Scarborough, will be in 4 main parts. Part One is already on RUclips. This is Part Two and deals with the 4 water powered corn mills that were sited along the banks of the beck from Burniston Road to the North bay.
There is an awful lot of information with these 4 mills, far too much for one long video. So,to make it easier, I have split Part 2 into seven sections. Each section will be uploaded as a separate video. Because a lot of the data is relevant to each mill it would be advisable to watch all the sections in order, that way you will get the full picture of how these mills worked and the history of them. After you have seen the sections you can always then just watch any section that you choose. I have covered the period from 1700s to the start of the 1900s.
This is the third second section and deals with how water wheels work.

Awww thanks :) I pleased that it will be some help. The whole project is about 90 mins long - this is why I spilt in into easier sections. Each one of the 4 mills were set up differently and I figured it would be better to do a section on how basic water wheels worked - helps to then make sense of of each mill :)
