History Of Scalby Mills, Scarborough, Section 5 of 7 SCALBY BRIDGE MILL

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.
We are now up to section 5, Scalby Bridge Mill. Scalby Bridge Mill was on the north bank of Scalby Beck, just before the road bridge on Burniston Road.
There is nothing left of the old mill and building, today it is a youth hostel.
The mill was probably the main water mill during the 1600s to 1820s. At some time around the start of the 1800s Newby Mill was built which is on the opposite band and on the other side of the road bridge. Scalby Bridge Mill was shown as disused in 1898. Newby mill though was very much in operation and became the dominate mill in the area. Newby mill is dealt with in section 6.

A very interesting series. Just a small point - the 1700's are the Eighteenth Century not 17th.C as the narrator says.

It is really annoying when people feel the need to post their `corrections` when in fact they are completely wrong. Martin - you clearly have not watched or taken in the information that I have put together about this mill.
The main period that is featured in my video is from 1750s to 1900. All the way through, apart from 2 small sections, the dates are shown as dates - not centuries.
There is only one mention of 17th Century.
Right at the start - 1 minute 7 seconds “ that there was probably mill on this site as far back as the 1600s “. No mention at all of 17th century or 18th century. That statement is there to inform that this mill was there in the 1600s. I never mention 17th or 18th or any century - there is just a date, nothing else.
The only time I do mention 17th century is at 1.55 where I state “ Phantnell Foord died in 1723. It is very likely that he was the main owner of the mill in the mid to late 17th century.”
Now then seeing as though you have clearly had a bit of trouble with that statement - this is what it means. He died in 1723 - which is the 18th century BUT he was very much alive and earning his living as a miller or mill owner in the late 1600s - therefore 17th Century.
