River Ribble floods at Grindleton

The mill on the left handside was still going full swing when these photographs were taken in the 1930's.In later years the building was just used for their offices.Clitheroe Shirting Ltd as it was called then.
BACK TO THE OLD GRINDLETON INDEX
An old receipt from Grindleton Mill in 1937 from the time when this series of photographs were taken.I find it quite incredible that a mill has been in existence around this spot since at least 1258.Back then the mill had a yearly rent of £6 that was paid to the De Lascy family.
