Mills and Milling
Although the east coast of Britain is much dryer than the west coast it still receives sufficient rain that, coupled with the steep sided valleys, leads to rapid run-off and powerful steams, an ideal location for the siting of water mills. Although only about a dozen mills are recorded for the area in the Domesday Survey (1085/6), by early medieval times they were well established throughout the North York Moors.
