I just realized I'd never posted a "straight up" picture of this beautiful bridge over Conesus Creek about 50 yds upstream from Papermill Falls.
Do you think the original builders realized that such a stone bridge would be almost impossible to use for graffiti?
NO INVITES OR ICONS PLEASE
The living houses of the Paper-Mill's workers in Ligatne. They were built in late 19th Ct. and are well preserved and inhabited till nowadays.

A neat paper products mill in the erm 'interesting' town of Leslie, the place is well protected by 'Heavy Breathing in the Valley*' and once in we spent half the time dodging workers stripping the remaining assets of the paper mill, ready to be shipped abroad most likely.
Film shots to follow!
*Heavy Breathing in the valley was fromt the night before, Speed & Myself arrived late one winters evening, looking for somewhere to bed down for the night, thoguht it worthwwhile checking the papermill out, so we sauntered down the workers path to be greeted with a large camera following us, the tannoy crackled into life (theres a tannoy attached to every camera in the place).
At almost concert loud'ness surely waking most of the village of leslie....
"Your on private property, yes you two, your on private property, can you please leave, yes, the other wya, turn around, back up that path please"
the tannoy crackled back off.
as we turned we just laughed that our complelty obvious approach of walking into a site had not worked (though it often does!).
The tannoy crackled back online, but there was no voice, only the sound of the operator breathing.
the breathing became louder, and deeper, and more frequent, and more excited...
it both hit us at the same time just what it sounded like, a lone security guard, suddenly awoken by two young fellas patrolling HIS site, it must hav ebeen exciting for him.
the breathing was so loud on the tannoys MOST of th village could surely hear, we were both in Hysterics, I mean so bad we could hardly walk up the muddy track without falling in it. Thank you Mr Sec Unit, you made our day :D
We slept overnight in a smaler abandoned mill then set out early in the morning via a slgihtly less obvious route, and had relative sucess :P
Later the Nekoosa Paper Company became a part of the consolidation with the Port Edwards and South Centralia properties under the title of Nekoosa-Edwards Paper Co. June 5. 1908 of which the incorporators were Thos. E. Nash, C. F. Steele and L. M. Alexander.
Three years later Mr. Nash retired from active management because of ill health. His death occurred Dec. 15, 1917 thus closing the career of a very able man whose rise was phenomenal.
One thing that has always intrigued me about Papermill Falls are the indented jagged edges on the left side of the falls as seen in these 2 pictures.
This fascinating picture shows the grass sheds being constructed I well remember those riveted beams.
a point also this must have been very hard work using picks & shovels.
I dropped in at the the PaperMill (a local Artists Run Initiative) www.thepapermill.org.au/ for a sketching night. They had a large sheet of butchers paper on the table and ink and brush.
What is this series of sketches?? In the latest Ampersand magazine there is a series of ‘found photos’ by Erik Kessels, following one woman over several decades. In each photo, she’s holding the same pose, eying her target while staring down the barrel of her gun. Very strange - but I was very pleased with my inkk wash - my first attempt !
former mill engineer Stoneywood & Carrongrove paper mills Many thanks to John for many pics on this site
Jà ssenes, cabirons, llata o llistó, pilar, crugies... En l'arquitectura tradicional hi ha un vocabulari ric que en part es va perdent pels canvis en els materials, sobretot la fusta i en menor mesura la pedra.
Les jà ssenes són les bigues més grosses que aguanten les bigues de mida normal, que no passen dels 5 metres normalment. Los llistons o llata són les fustes travesseres que aguanten les teules. La crugia és l'espai entre dos murs de cà rrega o, si la casa és gran, de dos crugies s'hi posen pilans, arcs o un mur de cà rrega entre mig.
Les cases del pagès normalet només necessitaven una jà ssena a la teulada, les de pagès ric o en edificis industrials com els molins en tenien unes quantes de jà ssenes.
Molà Canet, al riu Sénia.

"Grove street , although the caption reads Herbertshire park local people will recognise Grove street where houses were for many years occupied by mill worker's families. Through the trees can be seen part of Herbertshire Castle.
