Yorkshire Archaeol J 73

Discusses the history of the village and reports several excavations which revealed medieval and post-medieval activity. Towards the east of Orchard Field the remains of three tofts were located, which seem to have been inhabited continuously from the late-eleventh or twelfth century until about 1700 AD (based on the pottery assemblage). At the field's western end a series of buildings were identified. Daub from the earliest structure indicates a late medieval date. An earth and small-cobbled floor was laid over the earliest buildings and apparently was in use during the last phase of activity in the area.

Mostly historical, features discussion on the development of two mills in Skipton, North Yorkshire, the `High Mill' a late-eighteenth century water-powered cotton spinning mill and the `Low Mill' a mid-nineteenth-century steam-powered factory on the banks of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.
