Ilkley 2, Fountain, Mill Ghyll.

Ilkley Fountain and Mill Ghyll. An attractive green space at the foot of Ilkley Moor which slopes down towards the town centre and is divided by a stream that descends from this famous Moor. The origin of Mill Ghyll dates back to 1873 today the area forms part of the Victorian Ilkley Town Trail and was substantially restored in time for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Two Victorian style urns which were originally commissioned and manufactured for display in Ilkley in the late 1950s, have returned to the town and been positioned at the main entrance to Mill Ghyll adjacent to a proposed new water feature to replace a previously removed damaged marble fountain originally installed in 1886.
