Dowley Gap Mill
I was sure I had, somewhere, several recent photos of the mill complex from the canal side. Can I find them? No. So this picture below is years old and taken in a different season altogether!

Pavement faces
I came across this on my walk, and immediately saw a face. Can you see it too? He wouldn't have lasted long as it was extremely windy so I decided I'd immortalise him.
He reminded me of one I took several years ago, but this one's definitely female!

A walk by the Aire

The river is the infant River Aire, whose source is a stream from Malham Tarn that disappears into the limestone and then surfaces in a spring just outside Malham. It winds its way south, gathering strength, eventually passing through Saltaire and on through Leeds to its confluence with the Ouse. I did wonder whether the water I could see here might arrive in Saltaire before or after me. Google informs me that the river flows on average at 5 miles per hour and the distance to Saltaire is about 25 miles so it might be there in about five hours. Interesting.
Along the way we passed bits of old machinery related to when the Airton mill was working: various cogs and sluices.
And then we came to the mill itself, once a corn mill for the village, then a cotton spinning mill during the Industrial Revolution.
