Looking across the Nidd from footpath number 15 9/21/1; see also http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=31532700 . The largest mill in Nidderdale, it spun flax and hemp, and was originally built between 1812-14. "Linen yarn was spun at Glasshouses until 1898, much later than most other Nidderdale mills" http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-502400-glasshouses-mill-high-and-low-bishopside and it was then "run as a rope and twine making concern until 1972".
