- 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 4, High Mill. High Mill is the first of the featured four mills and was located further up Scalby Beck, a few hundred yards downstream from where the railway viaduct is. This mill was operating as far back as the 1600s. It closed, as a mill, around the 1920s but continued to be used as a farm. Out of all the four mills this one is the only building where remains and old equipment can be seen from the days when it was a working mill. There are an awful lot of personal memories featured in the section from myself and from Terry Colley. I have weaved all the facts, figures, photos and video footage that I have taken of my visits to the area into this very informative story of this mill. If you like the history of our town, you will enjoy this. There is nothing like this anywhere on the internet or on any books.

Me too, grandparents lived at hope cottage on station road.
Used to play by the dam and sluice as a child. B 1942, fished in the beck.
Pleasant memories
Have you got any photos of the old sluice and dam?
@stevemessruther172 sorry Steve no, my Aunt now 105 remembered playing at the stepped overflow into cut beck.
I will look at all your other content in the fullness of time.
We got our milk from Pickerings at the Scalby house I was born in and at Coldyhill Lane where we moved to in 1966.
The Name Terry Collier rings a bell but I did not recognise him in the video.
thats a shame with the photos :) In those early days of Coldyhill I was often sent down to the shop where Proudfoots store is today. They sold parrafin. There wasn`t many houses back then. @@Wedgedoow
