Skelton Mill

A corn mill has been recorded in Skelton since as early as 1272 although these buildings probably date from the 19th century. The mill was still being used to generate electricity rather than mill corn when it was hit by a Germany bomb on 15th or 16th April 1942 (sources vary) The remains were reduced in 1965 to allow for the widening of the road as it now goes right through the location of the mill.
