Description
The waterwheel, located approximately 10 metres west of Pillimire Bridge, dates from the late 19th century. It features a wooden wheel with a cast-iron axle. Designed to be overshot, there is no evidence that the pentrough was ever constructed. The wheel includes wooden buckets, sole plates, and spokes, and the cast-iron axle is positioned at ground level. It is set in a rubble-lined wheel race. The waterwheel stands in isolation and is said to have been built to generate electricity for the nearby Skelton Hall; however, this plan was never realized as a waterwheel is less suitable for this purpose than a turbine. Additionally, the construction of Skelton Hall, which remains partly unfinished, was never completed.
