Mill Gill Force was the location of a ritualistic murder back in the 1500’s.
Bodies of two lovers were found with their hands tied with the hacked off lengths of their own hair.
Why …
With the murderer never convicted nobody will ever know, but the ritualistic style of the killing was thought to have been done by a local farmer due to rivalry between opposing families in the area.
Houghton Mill, Cambridgeshire, 25 Jan 2025
Taken as a reminder. I think there is a potential shot here.
But
1) Need to be higher up to see over the reeds.
2) Needs a better sky.
3) Needs to be later in the day, but before the reeds grown again.

The abandoned Moffett Mill
Lincoln, RI
January 30, 2021
"Constructed in 1812 by local mechanic George Olney, the Moffett Mill offers a rare glimpse of the early American machine shop. The Moffett Mill was among the first mills in the area to have new metal-working technology including a metal lathe and drill press. In the early 1800s, Olney made tools and repaired vital machine parts for the other mills along Great Road, including his own thread mill at the pond in Lincoln Woods, Stephen Smith’s Butterfly Mill, and Captain Wilbur Kelly’s mill at Old Ashton. Arnold Moffett purchased the mill in 1850, replacing the breast-style waterwheel with a more modern, water-driven iron turbine. He expanded into furniture making and wagon building. At the time of the Civil War, the mill’s second floor housed braiding machines used to produce laces for shoes and corsets. By 1880, gristmill orders accounted for a large share of the Moffetts’ business, and a sawmill produced boards and wooden boxes for customers in the area. By the turn of the century, the mill closed and the building abandoned. In 2000, the Moffett Mill was stabilized and restored, with the original equipment still intact. Today, the mill is open for occasional public viewing under the stewardship of the Friends of Hearthside."
The Bates Manufacturing Company was established in Lewiston, Maine in 1850 by Benjamin Bates. It quickly became one of the largest textile manufacturers in New England and transformed Lewiston from a struggling agricultural town into a booming industrial city. By 1857, the Bates Mill in Lewiston ran 36,000 spindles, employed 1,000 hands, and annually turned out 5.7 million yards of the best quality of cotton goods. Even after winning multiple achievements and awards for his textiles, including “Best Pantaloon Stuffs” and “Best Plain and Fancy Cotton Fabrics”, Bates wanted more. Accordingly, in 1858 the Bates Manufacturing Company wove the first Bates bedspread.
Upon the start of the Civil War, most New England mills started selling their cotton stock, assuming that the war would only last 90 days. Instead, Benjamin Bates bought as much cotton as he could find (despite the skyrocketing prices) and became the main supplier of Union textiles during the 4 year war. Even afterward, despite post-war depression, the Bates Manufacturing Company prospered and continued to expand. It was at this time that the French-Canadian population began to immigrate to Lewiston for work; even today the city of Lewiston continues to have a great French-Canadian influence (and many of the current mill workers have French-Canadian ancestors that began their American lives as mill workers).[Company website].
Lewiston is also the home of Bates College co-founded by Benjamin Bates.
Headley mill , mention in the doomsday book ,at one time the oldest working mill in southern England . Run by the Ellis family for years. I used to Metal detect many years ago and one year I gained permission to search the pond when it had been drained . While searching an area at the very bottom of the picture by the wall a lady came over to me and explained that while she was throwing bread for the ducks her engagement ring had flown off into the water. I asked her when this had happened and she said many years ago. She then asked me if I could find it . Just to the right out of picture is a sluice gate. I explained to her that over the years it would have been washed away. A sad look came over her face so I said I would have look all the same . I told her to stand where she was on that day and to throw some bread in the water . I went to the spot where the bread landed and searched the area . Within a couple of minutes I had a signal and digging in the mud I saw the outline of a ring . Washing it off I showed it to the lady who burst into tears . Some things I guess are just not meant to be lost.

After all the rain over the holidays, the mill was looking great for another shot

Finally made the trek to photograph this old red mill up in Clinton, NJ. It has been photographed perhaps tens or even hundreds of thousands of times, making it hard to be unique, so instead I just had some fun with this Jersey icon.

I do like the reflections thrown up by the water under those arches!
Looks like the black bellied Dipper has gone ... the rill stones have been removed!
Tide mill.
The building on the immediate right is the tide mill and according to the records a tide mill has been situated on this site since 1170.
For about 350 years it was owned and operated by the Augustinian Priors who were (and still are) a religious order of Catholic friars who live in community and are inspired by Saint Augustine who taught to value community life over seeking for oneself.
Henry VIII confiscated the mill and it remained in ownership of the Crown for the next 28 years.
It was during the reign of Elizabeth I that it was sold by royal decree and it was purchased by Thomas Seckford where it remained in the family in excess of 100 years.
During the interim years several private owners operated the mill.
In 1957 the last commercially tide mill still in operation in England was closed.
Saved from an uncertain future in 1968 the mill was restored and opened to the public in 1973.
Today the mill in one of two tide mills in operation in the UK which produces stoneground wholemeal flour.

Located in east central Georgia on the Hancock County/Warren County line, the Ogeechee River Mill dates back to 1826. The structure was moved to the opposite side of the river in 1932. The mill still grinds corn, and I brought home two bags. The current owners are happy to give tours and provide a complete history of the mill.

North Mill is a 12C watermill on the river Piddle in Dorset. The mill itself was decommissioned in the 1870s and since then it has been restored a number of times. It was a ruin after the war and then, in the 1960s, was restored as a family home.
Sally has lived in the cottage for 20 years and enjoys renting half of the house out to holiday-makers, like us!
You can see Sally's front door and our car parked nearby. Across the fields is the main by-pass road, saving drivers having to come through Wareham on their way to the seaside resort of Swanage and Corfe Castle.
EMR Train 505-28 gets underway at Woodland for the trip south to Calais on 9/28/2022 with freshly painted GP38-3 911 in charge of a good sized train.
The expansive Woodland Pulp and Paper mill can be seen rising across the Saint Croix River. This mill provides 100% of the online business for the railroad and unlike virtually every other mill in the state, the mill here has been regularly expanding and is about to build a new tissue mill at a cost of $800 Million.
GP38-3 911 has since been pulled from service and shipped to Progress Rail where it will become a donor core for the GP31ECO program. Currently the 2317-19 and 3028 and 3095 are the only painted geeps in service.

Lochmaben is situated between three lochs.
The Mill Loch is the deepest of the three main lochs reaching a depth of over 14 metres (50 feet). As its name suggests it supplied a mill downstream where the old gasworks were sited on a lane named Mill Road. There was also a Lint (Flax) Mill at the head of the loch, sited on the burn coming from the Upper Loch.Its main claim to fame is that it was home to the world renowned Vendace fish the last of which was netted from the loch in 1966 and can now be viewed in the Council Chambers of Lochmaben Town Hall and in Dumfries Museum. Scottish Natural Heritage has plans to reintroduce the Vendace if the water conditions become favourable. A recent problem in the loch has been the introduction of a pernicious fringed water lily. If the lily were left to spread, 25% of the loch's surface would be covered in 10 years, changing its character completely.The loch is popular with fishermen, both local and from other parts of Scotland and Northern England. They are attracted by Coarse Fish such as Bream, Pike etc.

Towering above the thundering falls of the Grand River and Elora Gorge, the Elora Mill Hotel & Spa has been a part of the Elora community for over 175 years. This breathtaking 19th century grist mill has been converted into a country inn, and is in the heart of Ontario’s Festival Country. The mill has been closed for some time but is presently being refurbished. The development will transform the scenic downtown Elora community into a bustling tourist hub, attracting guests from Ontario and beyond. The idea is to create a mixed-use development that incorporates hotel and event facilities, a destination spa, training and education programs, outdoor activities and a restaurant. It is expected to re-open in the spring of 2018.
Thank you for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!

In 1688 Fort Andross was established as a trading post here on the Androscoggin River. Eventually a mill was constructed and after a number of failures Cabot Mills was successful and in 1930 employed over 1100 workers in the two mills. By 1941 it was sold and soon closed. In 1986 It was purchased anew and has been converted into a multiple use facility. The bottom section here is a permanent flea market. In the three stories above there are a number of diverse uses. Included is John Bisbee, a sculptor who (until recently I think) worked almost exclusively using carpenters nails with which he construct his sulputures.
The rest of L shaped building is in the reflection.
