Gayle Mill

The Gayle Mill we see today was built at the start of the First Industrial Revolution in 1784 – a pivotal moment in society when craft-making began to leave the home and into ‘manufactories’, and began the transition from the work of the hand to the product of machines.
When the Industrial Revolution came to Gayle Mill near Hawes, little did we know that the Mill was to become the living embodiment of Industrial Evolution in this country.
