Site of a Bark mill and adjacent tanyard. The bark mill is would have been in use between around 1619 and 1846. (Umpleby 2000, 111). The tanyard is marked on modern maps but it is uncertain when it fell out of use. The tanning industry in Dodworth was probably managed by the Monks of Pontefract in the medieval period. They leased assarted land on the edges of the township including the nearby Fall Head. After the dissolution of the monasteries much of this land was sold to tanning families. (Sykes 1993, 234-7). The woodland which has grown over the site of the Bark Mill was probably present along the river in the medieval period. Proximity to woodland would have been desirable for the industry. There is very little physical remains of the mill site consisting of a scatter of stones. There is, however, significant legibility of the earlier woodland as the site has over grown naturally.
