Gayle Mill, North Yorkshire, Heritage water mill in Hawes, England.
The Grade II* listed building contains three turbines and historic woodworking machinery, demonstrating industrial developments spanning over two centuries of operation.
Originally constructed in 1784 as a cotton mill with a 22-foot overshot waterwheel, the structure later adapted to flax and wool spinning by 1813.
The mill served multiple functions throughout its existence, from textile production to electricity generation, reflecting the changing needs of Yorkshire Dales communities.
The facility opens every Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM, with six designated parking spaces and facilities for visitors with mobility requirements.
The Thomson double-vortex turbine installed in 1879 remains the only operational example of its type, continuing to power traditional woodworking equipment.
