Although the east coast of Britain is much dryer than the west coast it still receives sufficient rain that, coupled with the steep sided valleys, leads to rapid run-off and powerful steams, an ideal location for the siting of water mills. Although only about a dozen mills are recorded for the area in the Domesday Survey (1085/6), by early medieval times they were well established throughout the North York Moors.
