Shaw Mills is a small hamlet in Nidderdale, set in the valley of Thornton Beck about six miles northwest of Harrogate. The village grew up around a corn mill and later flax and silk mills, and that industrial past still shapes the building stock today.
Many properties are former mill buildings and gritstone cottages dating from the late 1700s to early 1800s, including the Grade II listed Mill Cottages and Mill House on Town Street. Kevin and the team understand the upkeep these older stone buildings need, alongside the newer mill-conversion homes nearby.
