The Mill at Windmill FarmA wooden post millstood on the hill abovethe village, on a ridgestretching towardsStamford Bridge. Anearly mill was de-stroyed during a stormin 1838 but rebuilt thefollowing year by Tho-mas Gray for ThomasRowntree. Rowntreenamed it Phoenix, themill having risen fromthe ashes, and thistime it was built from

brick. Thomas Gray was the local bricklayer and responsible for the construction of manyof the building in the village at that time.By 1841 Thomas Rowntree was living at Mill House with his wife, Margaret, and ninechildren. His son, John, had taken over by 1851 and ran the mill with the help of hisbrothers William and Charles. By 1891 John nephew, John Bell, had succeeded him. Heworked the mill grinding wholemeal for the farmers of the district. He also reaerd a largeherd of pigs and lived at the mill until his death at 93, having worked there for some 80years. Thereafter the mill came into the ownership of Ned Butler and subsequently theHugill family.

Ward CouncillorAndy Strangeway was integral to pushing East Riding of Yorkshire Council for these so wesay a huge thank you to Andy.You may have noticed that Beckside is sometimes littered with mole hills. This is becausesomeone is removing the mole traps installed by Acer Garden Services. If we want thevillage to look its best we need to have these in situ from time to time.
