Riftswood Mill

This delightful Rapp’s postcard dates from 1910, with an embossed framing of the view of Marske Mill. It is known that a watermill existed as long ago as 1649, but the fell into disuse in the 1920’s and remained as a farm until 1947. The mill house as shown in this image was actually a Victorian building (removed some years ago), originally constructed for the foreman in charge of the railway viaduct which remains in use until today.
