Foster Beck Mill

Foster Beck Mill is a former watermill on the edge of Pateley Bridge, a town in North Yorkshire, in England. The mill was built in 1864, to process hemp into twine. It was later used for manufacturing linen, which ceased in the 1966. The building was then converted in the Watermill Inn. In 2003, the pub closed, the building being converted into two houses and five holiday lets, while neighbouring Fosterbeck Cottage was converted into a replacement pub. The two-storey building has been Grade II listed since 1974. It is built of gritstone, and has a slate roof. It is 12 bays wide, with the ninth bay containing a carriage arch. Its most notable feature is the 30 horsepower high-breast shot waterwheel, which is 35 feet high and 5 feet wide. It was installed in 1904, but later in the century, the mill was converted to run on diesel.
