Eller Beck - Izeria

The Eller Beck is a small river in North Yorkshire, England, that flows through the town of Skipton and is a tributary of the River Aire. Its channel was heavily modified to supply water to mills in the 18th and 19th centuries, and although all the mills have closed, the water now supplies power to the National Grid, generated by a turbine at High Corn Mill. The beck flows through several underground culverts in Skipton that contribute to the flood risk. To alleviate flooding in Skipton town centre, a scheme involving two flood water storage reservoirs was designed and eventually completed in 2017.

Carleton Mill

Carleton Mill is a historic building in Carleton-in-Craven, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. William and John Slingsby leased a mill in Bell Busk in 1841. It proved successful, and in 1849 they were able to construct a small mill in Carleton. In 1861, they built a larger mill in the village, to work cotton. Ownership passed to their sons, Cecil and John Arthur, but the two had a poor working relationship, and in 1930 the business failed. The mill was purchased by the Fattorini family, which used it to run a mail order business. In 1941, it was purchased by the Rover Company, which used it to manufacture aircraft components. The Aspinall family took it over in 1947, to manufacture carpets, then in 1980 Gaskell PLC took it over, continuing to make carpets. It closed in 1999, and in 2003 was converted into 57 flats and houses by Novo Homes and Peter Harrison Architects. It has been Grade II listed since 1988. The mill is built of stone with lintel bands, a dentilled cornice, a slate roof, and three storeys. The doorway is round-headed with a rusticated surround, and the windows have plain surrounds. At the east end is a tower with two cornices, pilaster strips and a parapet. The top storey contains elliptical-headed windows in architraves, and above is a truncated pyramidal roof with railings. At the west end is a tall octagonal chimney. In the centre of the mill is an open air atrium, with a water feature and glass-fronted lift.
