History Of Scalby Mills, Scarborough part 6 NEWBY 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 6, Newby Mill.
Newby Mill is often incorrectly said to be on Scalby Road when in fact it was on the east side of Burniston Road.
It has, at least, a 100 year history from 1837 to 1937, and it is very possible that it was there in some form as far back as the mid 1600s.
Around 1860 it became the main mill in the area and continued to operate until 1938. For 100 years only one family lived and worked in this mill, The Flinton`s.

That was an interesting watch. Part of my childhood was in Newby. I've lived in Leeds since 1999, worst luck :)

Great video - interesting - but prefer it when you are narrating… those automated voices and bots are really annoying 😫

[@stevemessruther172]

I started to use them because they pronounced words far better than me - but I then figured that if I do a take with them speaking I can then use their voice as a guide for myself. Well that was the plan :) I agree that the voices are a bit annoying, mainly because there is very little emotion. I used male and female to try and break it up a bit. When I started this series I used what I had available but since then I have learnt a lot and also gained more experience with better software. One big advantage now is that I use a field recorder for my voice. That then gets synced up to the camcorder which allows me to talk without all the wind noise and pops and crackles that you often get from a camcorder/phone microphone. You will be pleased to know that they are being pensioned off :)
