Ashlett Creek, Fawley, Hampshire. The present building, replacing earlier tide mills here going back as far as the 13th century, was erected in 1816 and continued in operation until the very early 1900s. Later, it was used by the nearby Esso oil refinery as a social club for its workers, and by the Ashlett Sailing Club as its clubhouse. Now, however, the mill is now abandoned and unloved, its future uncertain.
For another tide mill close by - one of only two still operational in the UK - please see also

"A blend of homesickness, nostalgia and longing, "hiraeth" is a pull on the heart that conveys a distinct feeling of missing something irretrievably lost "
I've caught this often enough from Anglesey but never from here - captured at Victoria Quay, Caernarfon.
... It would have been rude to have ignored this- captured at Victoria Dock, Caernarfon looking across the Menai Straits
