Riding Mill
Riding Mill is a village near Hexham in Northumberland, England. It is part of the civil parish of Broomhaugh and Riding. It is served by Riding Mill railway station and by a frequent bus service on the route from Hexham to Newcastle.
Riding Mill is notable as the location of Riding Mill pumping station. Up until here the water released from Kielder Water uses the River Tyne but at Riding Mill it is pumped to parts of Tyne and Wear and over the hills to Teesside.
Leaving the village towards Hexham, Hollin Hill Terrace is situated on the left. Very little information is available on these eight dwellings but they are an example of Victorian architecture. This terrace was not shown on maps of the area prior to 1850, but appear on a map dated between 1850/1894.
Mackenzie (1825) wrote — The Riding Mill is built upon a mountain brook called Dipton Burn – which it was often hazardous to pass, but in 1822 a good bridge was built across it. It is 80 feet (24 m) in length and 28 feet (8.5 m) in breadth. In recent times the road from the south coming into Riding Mill was a notorious traffic hazard because of the steep slope and the bends. A safety pit of small stones was constructed to halt vehicles that got out of control. The hill was also difficult to climb the other way, but a new road bypasses Riding Mill.
Directly north across the River Tyne is Styford Hall, the chief residence of the former township of Styford in Bywell St Andrew parish.
On Tuesday 9 January 1990 at 14.49, the tail fin of Panavia Tornado 'ZA394', from RAF Laarbruch, was hit by the wing of one of three SEPECAT Jaguars, 'XZ108', flying from RAF Coltishall.
The Tornado pilots ejected, which broke their legs. The debris hit traffic on the A68 at Styford Bridge. The Jaguar landed at RAF Leeming.
Riding Mill is in the parliamentary constituency of Hexham, Joe Morris of the Labour Party is the Member of Parliament.
