Merrydale, Slaithwaite
This is a very interesting site - an old mill site (reputedely the oldest mill site in the Colne valley) that has most infrastructure intact. The flow, head and mill pond aren't massive (the old mill was a fairly small one), though sufficient to produce enough electricity to offset the use of the house at the site.
The Turbine was built by the owner, with design help from a postgraduate student at Huddersfield University and turbine blades manufactured by a local negineering firm. I don't have detail on the flow or head - but I would guess around a 3 metre head and a flow of around 20-40 litres a second. The turbine isn't connected to a generator at the moment (though this is planned for 2010) so the output isn't known - however it's thought it will generate around 500 watts.
