DANVILLE VA: DAN RIVER MILLS: Once upon a time, a long time ago, factory workers lived very close to the factory. So close, in fact, they could be called to work by the ringing of the factory bell or whistle.

Three cotton spinning mills built for the Mutual Spinning Company. On the left is the No.1 Mill on which construction began in 1884. Next is the No.2 Mill which has a foundation stone dated 1891. Just visible at the right edge is the No.3 Mill, started in late 1914 but due to the war production did not start until 1922.
The completion of this mill made the company the largest cotton spinning firm in the district with a total of 246,000 spindles. The mills continued in operation until relatively late, switching from cotton production during the mid-20th century to incorporating woollen and artificial fibre spinning.
The design of the mills was by local architects. Potts, Pickup and Dixon (No.1), Potts, Son and Pickup (No.2) and Potts and Henning (No.3). This is reflected in the similarities between the three buildings.

In the 1800s, the Barrington Woolen Mill was an important local business that used machinery and water power to turn raw fleece into the yarn and cloth needed to make warm, durable clothing.
Powered by the mill's rushing river, machines like the spinner, twister, skeiner and loom made it possible to wash, pick, card, spin, dye and weave wool in a fraction of the time it took to do by hand.
Today, visitors can step inside the preserved mill and discover how small manufacturing operations like this helped shape Nova Scotia by offering growing communities valuable services and jobs.

Mill Beach, south of Bermagui on the NSW Far South Coast was named after a sawmill nearby that used to exploit the Spotted Gum forests of the adjoining area. The sheltered location also enabled loading of the cut timber onto boats for transfer to markets.

The flour mill was built c 900AD in a ravine giving access to the sea resulting from volcanic action. The mill was abandoned around 1866 when the creation of Tasso square isolated the mill from the sea, provoking a rise in the humidity, which soon forced the mills abandonment.
Mills Beach is just around the cliffs from the Pier and is a wide bay with quite a few colourful Beach Huts. The nearby cliffs are the bright ochre red colour and the area full of trees . Surprisingly given that it was winter, several young people were going for a quick swim and there was at least one person in a wet-suit, doing who knows what.
Rockbridge grist mill is located near Brixey Missouri, deep in the Ozarks hills. It was built in the 1890's and is a beautiful place to visit. The mill is nestled along Spring creek which runs into the nearby Bryant creek. Rockbridge was once the county seat of Ozark county and includes the old water mill, a Post Office, restaurant, rental cabins, some of the Ozarks best trout fishing and more. The old mill not only was used to grind corn and wheat, it also produced electricity for the local people. The entire area is very beautiful year round and a wonderful place to visit. I have taken photos of Rockbridge mill before but could never get a good clear shot of it from not having a wide-enough angle lens, but I was able to use my 14-40mm lens on the e620 this time. Hope you all have a great (and warm) day. It's 10 degrees here this morning and snowing a bit!

My version of it. It is a wrong season to photograph this unique mill, but I am rusty and need some practice.

I usually post something about Harper's Mill once a year. I was looking through my 2013 set tonight and realized I hadn't done so. :-)

Approaching Mill Road near the border of Milwaukee and Glendale, WAMX 3890 leads Wisconsin & Southern's North Milwaukee-Plymouth/Sheboygan Falls freight, trundling along what was once Milwaukee Road's main line to Green Bay and northern Wisconsin. Behind the train is the abandoned C&NW passenger line out of Milwaukee to the north, a location once called Canco. The bridge above the power hosts UP's former C&NW Shoreline Sub, heading toward much the same area as the WSOR freight is: Sheboygan. Off past the weeds to the left, the bridge spans the former right of way of the Milwaukee Northern (later Milwaukee Electric, TMER&L) interurban line to Port Washington and Sheboygan. In the trees in the distance is a glimpse of downtown Milwaukee.
