Place Mill is a Grade II listed Anglo-Saxon watermill located a short distance to the south of the Priory on Christchurch Quay. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book and features a mediaeval stone base underneath red brickwork.[ The mill belonged to the Priory but stopped working in 1908 and stood derelict until purchased by the council and restored in 1981. It is unique in that it takes water from one river (the Avon) and spills it into a second river (the Stour).] A millstream is supplied from the Royalty Fisheries near to the Electricity Museum behind Bargates, and flows for nearly 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the mill between the Avon and the Priory grounds before joining the River Stour. A mediaeval Grade II listed bridge known as the Place Mill Bridge crosses the millstream nearby.

After our Locust Hill Road stop in Grayson County (preceding photo), our next photo stop was at Mabry Mill. Autumn colors were rather muted, and many leaves already had fallen. Knowing our goal of being home by dark was not wholly realistic, I left the tripod in the car, settling for some rather quick shots of this charming mill. With a good many other people at the mill and on the Parkway, several shots had people hanging out the mill's open windows or cars on the Parkway at the far left, but I managed to get a few without such distractions -- and this shot has the added advantage of showing movement of the water wheel (thanks to shooting at 1/10-second, a relatively steady hand, and, of course, image stabilization). The white ducks that used to be a fixture in the mill pond were absent.
Located about a mile north of US 58 at Meadows of Dan, the mill was built in stages by Ed Mabry (1867-1936), starting in 1903; it served as sawmill, grist mill, and blacksmith shop. After the Parkway was built in the 1930s, National Park Service restored the sawmill and grist mill, which still operates; its products are sold on premises. Mabry mill is one of the most popular attractions on the 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway and is much-photographed. What Virginia county the mill is in seems rather unclear; the GPS coordinates on the photo place it in Floyd County (see map), and the DeLorme Virginia Atlas and Gazeteer also places it in Floyd, but some sources say it is in Patrick; in truth, it is very close to the county line, but I've gone with Floyd.

Starr's Mill is in south Fayette County, GA. It's painted a vivid red, and almost everybody who shoots it does so in color. I think black and white lends to the design element(s) in photography, so I used Tri-X for this, with a Leica M2 and 35mm f/2 Summicron.
Belmont Mill is a mining camp in White Pine County, Nevada. Note that this is nowhere near the better known town of Bemont. This mill and several nearby buildings were built in the early 1900's to process silver ore from mines on nearby mountains. There are still cables from an aerial tram used to bring ore to the mill, and some machinery is intact inside. The mines never amounted to very much so the mill was closed down after just a few years. This is another image scanned from a slide as part of my project to digitize my old photos.
The Balmoral Grist Mill Museum is a restored 1874 water powered grist mill located in Balmoral Mills, Nova Scotia. The site includes a 1 km walking trail along the ravine of Balmoral Brook. The mill is part of the Nova Scotia Museum system. Alexander MacKay owned this water-powered grist mill in the 1880s. It could be used to grind wheat, oats, barley, rye, and buckwheat into flour and meal. The Scottish oat-drying kiln is unique.
I am Pleased I got to this location today as there isn't much colour left. I think last week, had it not been windy and raining would have been the better weekend for the foliage.
This place has changed quite a bit (riverside) since I last visited in 2005.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA!
Lake Mills on Sept 10th 2009. Very peaceful. We could see about 20' down underwater. This lake will be gone in a year or so. They are removing the dam to hopefully restore salmon runs etc. Will see I guess. There is a lot of controversy over it.

Cropthorne Mill, Fladbury, Worcestershire, England, UK.
Fladbury is a traditional English village located in rural Worcestershire, England. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book, almost 1,000 years ago. It is sited on the banks of the River Avon, with many interesting and original buildings and features. Cropthorne village is on the opposite bank of the Avon. The two ancient communities are linked by the Jubilee Bridge.
Cropthorne Mill was originally built to serve the village of Cropthorne about a mile downstream.
The buildings in this historic mill complex date from 1850 till about 1890. They were used to manufacture wool, cotton, paper bags, and then, finally, chocolate from the early 1900s till World War II. More recently the old mill buildings have been renovated and repurposed as retail, dining and office space. Ballston Spa, New York.
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.

The earliest mill built on this land was built by Johann Heinrich Kersten in 1725. Kersten shortened his name to Kerst as many immigrants did to make for easier pronunciation. The current mill was built in 1841, a 40'x 55' limestone mill standing 3.5 stories and covered with stucco. The head race is fed from Manatawny Creek and the tail race empties into the pond. The mill is located on Bertolet Mill Road near the intersection with Kauffman Road in Oley, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

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.

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.

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

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.
Once Mill Creek starts its race down the mountain it is a two mile run to the river. Taking in 300 feet at a time it's 35 photo ops, each unique and all requiring legs. smile emoticon Such a wonderful place.
