King's Mill, Malton
King's Mill is a historic building in Malton, North Yorkshire, a town in England.
The watermill was built in the late 18th century, to grind corn. Its wheel was driven by the River Derwent. It suffered a serious fire, and was largely rebuilt in 1802. Between 1846 and 1848, it was extended, to a design by J. P. Pritchett. The mill closed in the 20th century, and the building was grade II listed in 1978. By 1990, it was partly derelict, but it was converted into flats at the end of the century.
The mill is built of red brick with stone dressings, and has a pantile roof with stone copings and kneelers. The main block has four storeys and six bays, to the left is an extension with three storeys, three bays and a pedimented gable containing a blind oculus, and at right angles on the right is a kiln house with two storeys, two bays and a pyramidal roof. The openings in the main range have segmental heads.

County Bridge, Malton
County Bridge, also known as Malton Bridge, is a bridge in England which connects the town of Malton, North Yorkshire with Norton-on-Derwent.
A bridge crossing the River Derwent at this location was recorded as being repaired in 1332. It was repaired at the cost of £100 in 1612, and in 1736 its parapets were repaired. The current bridge was constructed in about 1760, to a design probably by John Carr. It was widened in 1925, when a footpath was added, but later in the century a separate footbridge was constructed alongside. The bridge was grade II listed in 1974.
The bridge carries Castlegate (the B1248 road) over the river and a mid-stream island. It is built of sandstone, and consists of three segmental arches of voussoirs. There are mouldings on the downstream side, a raised chamfered band on the upstream side, cutwaters, and a plain chamfered parapet. A concrete walkway with railings has been added.

Malton Castle
Malton Castle was a castle in Malton, North Yorkshire, England. A wooden motte and bailey castle was built by William Tyson, lord of Alnwick in the 11th century, on the site of the Roman fort of Derventio Brigantum. The castle was given to Eustace Fitz John, who rebuilt it in stone.
Eustace negotiated the delivery of the castle to King David I of Scotland in 1138. The Scots garrisoned the castle, however it was captured later the same year. King Richard I of England visited the castle in 1189 and King Edward II of England in 1307. When Eustace de Vesci rebelled against King John in 1212, he gave orders to destroy (slight) de Vesci's castles at Malton and Alnwick. The castle was held against King John of England, during the First Barons' War. After the battle of Old Byland the castle was captured and destroyed by King Robert I of Scotland in 1322. The castle was not repaired and fell into ruins. Only the former gatehouse and some short sections of original medieval curtain wall still exist. The gatehouse is now used as a hotel.
A house was built on the site in 1569 by Ralph, Lord Eure, which came to be inherited by two sisters of the Eure family, Margaret and Mary. In 1674 they fell out over ownership and took their argument to the County Sheriff, who destroyed the house and put the stones into two equal piles for the sisters to share.
The site is now a scheduled monument.
