Originally an old soke and grist mill, it was occupied many years by the late Mr. John Allenby Mr. Rishworth next conducted the business, and retired in 1869, when he was succeeded by Mr. J. A. Ingleby, who purchased the property at Lord Londesborough's sale in 1873. in 1879 he enlarged the premises, and commenced working the first complete roller mill in England. In 1889 a new warehouse was built, with silos holding 6,000 quarters of wheat. The wheat on arrival is emptied direct from the railway trucks through warehouse separator, and distributed automatically to the silos or any other part of the mill."

extent. An expense of between £30,000 and £40,000 has already been incurred thereon, and a further outlay to that amount will be necessary to complete it The outlay already incurred may be reckoned in the interim among the extortions to which existing
Railway Companies were then compelled to submit, to save their property from being wholly confiscated. If it be the wiser course to defer the portion of the line between York and Tadcaster, it is certainly so to defer that between Tadcaster and the Leeds and Selby Line.

The new agreement with the Y&NMR was contradictory to the previous one with the proponents of the Leeds and York and York and Hull schemes, and the board of the M&L withdrew their support and connection to the scheme in November 1845. The Leeds and York refused an offer to return the shares, and the M&L was required to take up 5,000 £25 shares.

The line from York to
Tadcaster and Leeds was forced upon the Company, as a protective measure in 1845 in order to prevent others doing so. The portion of this line between York and Tadcaster was commenced soon after the obtaining of the Act in 1846, and has been proceeded with to a considerable

The Y&NMR's line was successful in parliament over the rival Leeds and York
Railway scheme. An act, the "York and North Midland Railway (Leeds Extension) Act" (Victoria 9/10, Cap.89) was obtained in 1846, for a line of 17.2 miles (27.7 km) with power to raise capital of £360,000 and a
