Skelton Beck

Skelton Beck flows down a gorge through Crow Wood and Valley Gardens before joining Saltburn Gill Beck and entering the North Sea. Below the Riftswood viaduct carrying the mineral railway to the potash mine at Boulby the beck flow over the remains of a weir used to provide a head of water to drive the Marske corn mill.

Marske Mill was first documented in use in the mid 17c and last used for milling in the 1920s. The buildings were demolished in 1971.
