Crank Mill.
On Tuesday October 5th 1847 the Colonial Times and Tasmanian newspaper reported the following in regard to the Crank Mill at Norfolk.
"This Mill, said to be a device of the
philanthropic Maconochie - an engine, of torture worthy the Holy Inquisition is so repulsive in its operations that we are tempted to give a passing glance at it and its horrors.
It is (or was) worked by a hundred felons, after the fashion of the chain pumps of a man-of-war, but the resistance offered
was incalculably more exhausting :- this setting in motion the machinery for grinding maize-that merely discharging the water from the hold.
The picture of a line-of-battle ship's gun decks during the heat of action is tolerably startling, but it is but a mere watercolour sketch compared with the
demoniacal portraiture presented in the working room of Norfolk Island's Crank Mill".
Built in 1827 at the Kingston Pier as Commissariat Granary it was transformed just 10 years later as the Crank Mill with the purpose of “punishment of men in irons”.
It would serve more than just punishment for the unfortunate beings were tortured beyond belief.
On a daily basis 100 convicts were herded into the crank mill where under their cruel overseers they were forced to rotate the heavy capstan and two massively oversized metal grinding stones which milled to corn.
It would serve as a place of punishment until 1855.
Today the Crank Mill is heritage listed and is located in the Kingston and Arthurs Vale Historic Area (KAVHA) Kingston.
If you listen carefully you can be forgiven for thinking that you can still hear the haunting cries of convicts as they suffered inhumanity at the hands of their fellow man.

The Harrington Mills in Long Eaton, Derbyshire were built in the 1880s and relied on the canals nearby to provide coal and power. Much of the housing nearby was built at the same time to house the millworkers and the cemetery was built in response to this new population.
The town and the railroad are both named for the river: Housatonic. Bangor and Aroostook 22 was built in 1953, two years before the mills closed.
Some of the foundations from the mill that used to stand on this site in the Hilton Falls Conservation area can still be seen across form the falls.

Camera: Yashica TL Electro-X with Vivitar 35mm f2.8 Auto Wide (m42)
Film: Rollei RPX 400, 35mm
Developing: Kodak HC-110, Dilution B, 5:30 min.
I have found when shooting that Rollei RPX 400 tends to be underexposed. Next roll I will shoot at ISO 200 but still process it as 400. It's a high-contrast film but I didn't get as much whites as I had hoped on many of the photos from this roll.
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.
Wolverton Gold Mill. Originally commenced in 1921 by Edwin Thatcher Wolverton in an attempt to realize dreams of an elusive Spanish gold mine hidden in the tops of the Henry Mountains. It is unknown if Wolverton ever actually found the old mine but from time to time he came to town with a pouch of gold despite the curse placed on the old mine by an Indian medicine man.
"To Whomever reopens these workings will come great calamity. His blood will turn to water, and even in his youth he will be an old man. His squaws and papooses will die, the earth will bring forth for him only poison weed instead of corn."
He escaped at least one part of the curse since he didn't begin building the mill until he was sixty years old. Wayne County, Utah.

Out for a walk around Mill Lake Park this morning and came across this Bald Eagle perched on the south side of the lake, an area I rarely seem them perch.
Houghton Mill is on the river Great Ouse in the small Cambridgeshire village of Houghton. It is the last surviving mill on the river able to produce stone ground flour from a water powered wheel. For more information see: www.nationaltrust.org.uk/houghton-mill/features/rise-and-...
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.
This is up the Elwha valley in the Olympic National Park in Washington State.
Houghton Mill was almost demolished, then saved by the local villagers and restored to working order to carry on the tradition of milling on this site for over 1,000 years.
