Otley weir and Garnett's paper mill
Image: © John Winder Taken: Unknown
Taken when the mill was still active in late 1992 (I think). The river is a good bit higher than usual: see John Sparshatt's photo at http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3265333 for how it usually looks. When I was a kid, I and my brother and sister used to come and play in the river here, treating the weir like a big waterslide. I imagine social services would be called if you let your kids do such a thing these days! Garnett's mill is now closed and the area is having hundreds of houses built on it.
