IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

Somebody from the Local History Group might have more information, but I just found this in Cathy Liddle's book 'Discovering Silsden' in a description of the weir, "a system of stakes to provide power for a corn mill". |

I can just imagine if the internet had been around back then and somebody built some form of structure in the beck!!!! |

This is a the non return flap for the sewer overflow. Nothing to worry about. There is another one by Clog Bridge. |

Yes Peter, if only Bradford had allowed it to be completed, think just how many sandbags could have been saved in the future. How silly of me, it didn't help the centre of Bradford so it had to go. |
