The "Red Mill" is a 4-story grist mill and historic site located along the south branch of the Raritan River in Clinton, New Jersey. It was built around 1810 as an industrial mill. It has served several roles, including a wool processing plant, a peach basket factory, and a textile mill. It is now a museum that is part of the Red Mill Museum Village, and is on the National Register of Historic Places under the name David McKinney Mill. (Wikipedia)

60085 passes Horace Mill in Cononley also known as Station Mill. It was built in 1837 and at its height of production employed 3/4s of the available workforce in the town. It is now closed and has been converted into apartments having laid derelict for many years.
The class 60 was working the 6D37 1227 Rylstone to Hunslet. Class 60s have been putting an appearance on this line of late due to their poor reliability when working the Liverpool to Drax Biomass trains.
It looks like 60085 needs to visit the wash plant with all that exhaust dirt covering the cab end. We witnessed her belching out clouds of black smoke during the 1Z10 photo shoot to the area indicating she might need some more serious attention.
Since the Middle Ages, there has been a mill at the rapids in "Vin Stream" ("Vinån"). The current mill and mill dam were built around the year 1900 and were used until 1970. Today the mill and miller's residence (a yellow building slightly visible to the right) are a private area.
I spent two hours in this spot just doing some long exposures. I really LOVE my ND filter. It really is so much fun. I appreciate having it alot...especially in places like this.
more to come.
waited about half an hour hoping to catch some sun breaks and blue sky like i got at the falls but all i got was snow and more snow...of course ten minutes later after i got to the car.....yup, you guessed it
Originally constructed in 1849–50 and restored by The National Trust in 1991.
Standing in the ground's of Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire. This flour producing mill is powered by a top fed bucket wheel constructed of cast iron and is fully enclosed to protect it from freezing in the winter.
I was lucky enough to visit it when it was turning and it's rhythmical tone was surprisingly soothing (in comparison to other mill's I have visited).
At one time there were 37 water mills on or near the River Wye along the 11 miles from its source at West Wycombe to the the Thames at Bourne End. Pann Mill is one of the few remaining, and the only one in operation.
Milling has long been associated with the River Wye - the first record of Pann Mill is in the Domesday census of 1086, one of six mills on the river at the time. The first Pann Mill was probably associated with the Hospital of St John the Baptist, the ruins of which are still visible in Easton Street opposite the mill. The records of 100 years later show that the mill was then owned by the Pinel family, and it is probably from this family that Pann Mill derived it's name.
Ownership of the mill changed many times over the years, and an archaeological dig discovered that major rebuilding took place on at least 3 occasions. The oldest remains found dated from the 14th century.
The most recent mill was built in 1759, with a new waterwheel and milling machinery fitted in around 1860. Commercial milling ended in 1967, and in 1971 the mill buildings and the associated miller's house were demolished as a part of a road widening scheme. The road widening did not take place as originally planned, so the High Wycombe Society undertook some restoration of the mill and its machinery.
The present, much smaller, mill building was designed by a Society member, Colin Kennedy, originally to preserve the machinery remaining from the demolition. A significant donation of funds from Marks & Spencer, to celebrate their centenary in 1984, together with concerted fundraising by the Society, enabled the building to be erected. Of course, once the building existed it needed to be filled!
The previous mill had the traditional three floors, whereas the present building has only two. The top floor was a grain store. Sacks of grain were hauled up by a sack hoist and stored until needed. Subsequent movement of grain was as much as possible by gravity. In the present mill grain is still stored on the top floor, but in bins close to the mill stones.
Hyde's Mill, built in 1850, is one of the very few mills left which is powered by a wooden waterwheel in Wisconsin. It is located in Ridgeway in Iowa County in Southwest Wisconsin, and consists of a wooden waterwheel, dam and mill pond. Although the mill is no longer functioning, it has still become one of Wisconsin photographers' favorite subjects due to its scenic beauty and historic value.
I knew this mill a couple of years ago, but didn't have much motivation to capture it - simply because every one took the similar photo from the same vantage point, and moving beyond that point is not allowed. In this weekend, I visited Nick Bristol's amazing landscape photography show near Spring Green, and found that Hyde's Mill was only 20 min's drive from the show, plus the sunset seemed to be promising. So there was no reason not going to visit this famous mill. And I was happy with my decision - I arrived there at the right time for the light, and the fall color was still there as well.
Just on the outskirts of Historic downtown Selma, is Bailey Feed Mill. This is a major distribution facility.
Both CSX and Norfolk Southern railcars are unloaded, and bulk goods are either stored on site for future use, or transloaded to final destinations.
Bailey Feed Mills has been in business since 1952, but the Selma facility has only been in operation for 25 years.
The 1890 Empress Flour Mill on Queen Street is category C industrial heritage building, which means that its removal is a permitted activity. There are two plaques on the front of the building, one relating to the 118 year old structure and the other to the 1921 grain silos. With a height of 35 metres the category B listed heritage silos are the town's most prominent landmark. They're still in use and will not be demolished.
Find something you like to photograph and make a list. I like to photograph mills. Everytime I have a free day or weekend, I set out to find another one. This is one of the most famous mills in Missouri, Alley Springs. Look in your coins, a quarter with the mill on it has just been released. 3.27.2017.
Abandoned textile mill (1851-2004)
Schlafhorst was a producer of textile machines in Mönichgladbach (Germany). Wilhelm Schlafhorst founded the company in the early 1880s. The company employed 5000 people in 1991. The company was then sold to the Swiss group Saurer, whereupon the decline began. In 2007, the Oerlikon group, also from Switzerland, took over the company, which at the time employed about 1000 people.
A scene at Yarmouth Mill. The Mill, which is seen on the right was built in 1793, overlooking the Yar Estuary.
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.
Lianna and I took advantage of the "calm before the storm" to get out and do some long exposure photography. This location is a popular location for photographers from all walks of the Earth. The Historic Bedford Mill.
In 1831 Benjamin Tett (1798-1878), later an important merchant at Newboro, anticipating the completion of the Rideau Canal, acquired a sawmill here on Buttermilk Falls. Tett and various partners, including the prominent Chaffey brothers, extensively exploited local forests and through the Canal sent timber, lumber, and cord-wood to American and St. Lawrence River market centres. Active trade and settlement of the district led him to build a store and, in 1848, construct the stone grist-mill here. After 1872 the operations, including a shingle and planing-mill and canal shipping, were continued by John Poole Tett and Benjamin Tett Jr. Depleted forests and the availability of western flour and feed seriously affected the mills and the total population declined. In 1916 the grist-mill ceased operation.

The Watermill is located in the centre of Dedham Vale, a wonderfully English village close to the Essex/Suffolk border. This is part of the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
The Mill was once owned by John Constable’s father and Constable made the Mill and the surrounding area the subject of many of his works of art.
The Domesday Book of 1087 mentions a mill at Flatford and records William the Conqueror's decision to keep it and some of the surrounding land for himself. This means there was a Saxon mill at Flatford before the Norman Conquest of 1066. In the late 14th century The Manor Court Rolls contain a record of a fulling mill at Flatford that was called ‘Flotfordmelle’.
The date stone built into the back wall of the Flatford Mill records the renovating of the mill by Abram and Isabel Constable in 1753. It appears to bear their initials and reads ‘AIC 1733’, but it has been tampered with and the ‘1753’ altered to ‘1733’. The mill was not owned by the Constable family until 1742.
The abandoned Crofthead Mill in Neilston. The mill closed in 1992 and had a history going back to 1792.
St Cross Mill lies on the River Itchen just south of Winchester. Currently a private residence the original building was destroyed by fire and rebuilt in 1845. Constructed as part of nearby St Cross Hospital the mill ground flour for the inhabitants of the Almshouse which was founded by Henry de Blois in the 1130s.

A beautiful listed mill in the heart of the Peak District. this 17th century Hathersage Mill was the first in the UK to make stylus for record players. Now a stunning exceptionally spacious holiday let. A fantastic base to explore the gorgeous Peak District national park.
This fine cotton mill had to wait for the construction of the Macclesfield Canal which was started in 1831. Nowadays the floors ring with the sounds of music and chatter rather than the clatter of clogs and the roar of heavy machinery
Mill Gill Force is a hidden waterfall in a lovely secluded pocket of woodland near Askrigg, Wensleydale. The gill gets it's name from the mill which stands half a mile downstream. Water crashes over the rocks dropping around 25 feet below before seeming to split into three and descend down a second drop of around 3 feet. It is a lovely waterfall that is best when combined with a trip to Whitfield Gill Force, a further kilometre along the footpath.
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.
Slater Terrace, built circa 1848-50 by mill owner George Slater was a combined mill, warehouse and boiler house, with attached workers' accommodation. Although the houses were slightly better quality than the housing of the time, conditions would have been poor, with the constant noise from machinery, and damp from the canal, and they would also have been cramped - the 1861 census reveals that twelve members of two families shared four rooms in one of the dwellings.
The buildings are now rented office space
