History

Stockdale's Mill stood at Pateley Bridge as a tower mill. The site is associated with wind-powered milling in Nidderdale, although the detailed working history remains uncertain.

The mill later ceased working and survived in a ruinous state. The remaining tower is derelict and partly collapsed. Details of the original cap, sails, windshaft, millstones and closure date have not been established. The site remains a fragmentary former tower-mill structure at Pateley Bridge.
