Foster Beck Mill 1864, wheel installed 1904 for spinning twine or linen yarns and was later producing twine. Closed 1966 and turned into a large pub - Watermill Inn, popular for dances, that closed around 2005 to be converted into houses and an adjacent cottage next to the road bridge was turned into a pub (Bridge Inn). You managed a good shot, it always seems to be in the shade when I pass.

Foster Beck Waterwheel, near Pateley Bridge. It was an old mill, which was converted to a Pub and Nightclub and is now residential properties. The wheel is apparently listed...all according to Google. Great vid as ever Martin. Thanks.

Shame it no longer works. I wonder how much electricity it could generate in these difficult times.

[@Tony-oz1uv]

Lol not heard of that place in Ages, I actually used to live there. In the living room we had like a glass box within the wall where you could see the mechanics for the wheel itself. Mind you the snow there was different..... when it snowed it properly snowed it was over your car bonnet. "Would ring work saying I couldn't come in" send a photo of the snow....... head to the pub 1 minute away, jobs a good'n 😁 Was absolutely picturesque that area, really miss it.

My wife’s Grandparents farmed there Scar House Farm I think it was called,from when the reservoir was just being completed to the late 1940s .I remember them talking about the village where all the workers lived ,there were shops and a cinema but it was very isolated after everybody left her grandfather lost quite a lot of sheep in the 1947 snow and her grandmother still stored tinned food under her bed years after they leftafter the experience of being snowed in for weeks

The water's soon going to cover up all of these gems again, and it was so fascinating. It was really great to see the Bolton Abbey train too, having ridden on it when on holiday in the area. The dam is just amazing and you can always rely on the Victorians to overdo with architecture. They'd hate the way we throw up all all those ugly buildings now. It's a sight to behold. Your brew was really luxury style on this outing and I loved the entertainment thrown in by James! Thanks all of you... a sincere pleasure to have been able to join you! 👍

[@rogermorris6957]

Hi Martin nice to see you back great vlog

[@JohnS-bn7lu]

I live in Nidderdale and know Scar well, correct the stone was quarried in the hill side above the dam but if you look high up on the hillside on both sides there’s two huge concrete blocks where the blocks of stone were brought down on pulley’s. The main construction is concrete and faced by stone and in winter the whole wall moves one inch with the pressure. The wall has a series of tunnels that run across for one side to the other and are inspected for movement , it’s a wet job because they drip and leak. The tower in the middle is a away down in to the middle of the dam and if you every get chance to go down it’s hard to imagine all that water and pressure is just a few feet away. Foster beck is a old mill that became a local pub and played music every weekend, I’ve only seen the wheel run once but it shook so much that it nearly pulled the wall down, they turned it quickly off.

Ahh interesting, thank you. Yeah that is a massive wheel !!!

Am struggling to comprehend just how bad the drought has been Love what has been revealed and just how much history is available to us - am surprised you've not found a mill cos that area was littered with them Thank you very much for showing us this snippet of our history

[@Caustictherapy]

I recently came back from the Lakes and I can say that Grasmere, Rydal Water, Windermere etc are NOT low .. in fact there were flooded feilds up there, the River Rothay that feeds these 3 lakes was running high between Grasmere and Windermere, it was a veruitable torrent through the village of Ambleside. I live in Wigan, some 50 miles south of the Lakes and the canals there are not low either, neither is Scotsmans Flash and that must be 10 foot at its deepest and not murkey like this so realistically it should have warmed up and completely evaporated away if the droughts reduced water levels in these select places by 30 foot. Sale Water Park in South Manchester also is not experiencing low water levels. No where I look are the levels of bodies of water low except for in resevoirs .. makes you think dont it ..
