The Weirs

The weirs on the River Wharfe at Linton
The nearby weirs once channelled water into a large textile mill, now demolished.
Upstream of the Falls you will be able to see the restored hydro-electric plant. This had shut down in the 1940s and fallen into ruin, but was restored and re-opened in 2012 and is supplying electricity through water power.

A lovely part of the countryside TOZ..............and a beautiful view along the river. Nice to know the hydro-electric plant has been restored and is working properly again.

A smashing shot sir!

I was going to ask if the building in the background was part of an HEP system, then I read your description, Gordon. The power of moving water is still under-used in my opinion. More money should be put in to tidal flow, wave energy etc.
