Garnetts Mill from River Wharfe 2015
This picture shows the final remains of Garnetts Mill being demolished on Thursday 30th April 2015. Compare this shot to a photo I took in 2008 here: Image
The main building of the mill was supposed to be left standing according to the planning permission given to the builders. However, apparently the building was unsound and they demolished it anyway.

Water play, Otley
I must bring my grandson here so that I can play with this. The water is raised by an Archimedean screw, then is led to a water-wheel.

Old outfall from Garnett's Mill
This would have been the tailrace of the mill. Its function as a user of water power has been taken by the modern hydro-electric plant Image

Otley weir and Garnett's paper mill
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.

Skatepark in Wharfemeadows Park
Built for skateboards but the current craze is for stunt scooters - one rider can be seen here in mid-air after coming up a ramp at speed.
