The original mill on this site was built in the 1840s and was what was commonly called a grist mill that ground corn and other grains into meal or flour using the flowing waters of the Olentangy River to turn a set of pulleys that could be used to grind. In 1848 that mill was sold to George Bieber and his son James. After his father's death, James purchased about 100 additional acres of land around the mill and erected a new, 3.5 story stone mill on the north side of the older frame mill. This mill also included a saw mill. However, the new mill's construction costs proved unmanageable for James to handle and he lost the entire site when it went up for auction at the Delaware County Court House in the late 1880s. After that it was operated by a number of different individuals, but none successfully. There were many problems associated with the river and being able to construct and maintain a damn that could provide a constant water supply.
.
In the early 1900's a fire destroyed the older frame mill and the newer stone mill was partially destroyed in the fire. Since that event the mill has been abandoned, but not forgotten. Over the years the Olentangy River floods and recedes, leaving the lower section of the mill being covered over with mud and debris. Although visitors are not permitted on the site which is owned by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. Plans are to restore the building at some point in the future. Some measures have been taken to preserve and stabilize the structure as it now stands. Future plans will be dependent upon funding.

The Glade Creek Grist Mill is a new mill that was completed in 1976 at Babcock State Park in West Virginia. Fully operable, this mill was built as a re-creation of one which once ground grain on Glade Creek long before Babcock became a state park. Known as Cooper's Mill, it stood on the present location of the park's administration building parking lot. The mill was created by combining parts and pieces from three mills which once dotted the state. The basic structure of the mill came from the Stoney Creek Grist Mill which dates back to 1890. It was dismantled and moved piece by piece to Babcock from a spot near Campbelltown in Pocahontas County. After an accidental fire destroyed the Spring Run Grist Mill near Petersburg, Grant County, only the overshot water wheel could be salvaged. Other parts for the mill came from the Onego Grist Mill near Seneca Rocks in Pendleton County.

I found this while bicycling around Harford County years ago and took this photo in 2007. In 2010 it was demolished and a new building was put on the site as a memorial. Check it out here if you want: millpictures.com/mills.php?millid=969
I wasn't really sure about this when I first viewed it, I'd had this image in mind on arriving at the beach but got distracted by the waterfall. I thought I'd probably left it a bit late but as this was my second and last morning I decided to give it a go. For me, the foreground wave saves it and that was more by luck than judgement. The Sun was so bright in the viewfinder that I couldn't see the waves breaking so there was quite a bit of guess work involved. This was the best of the dozen or so I took.
Grade II Listed cotton mill at New Mills, Derbyshire, also known as Strafford's Mill after Daniel Strafford who had it built in the 1780s.
The Powder Mills were built in 1844, a factory for making gunpowder which was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor. The buildings were widely spaced from one another for safety and the mechanical power for grinding ("incorporating") the powder was derived from waterwheels driven by a leat.
Now known as "Powdermills" or "Powder Mills", there are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built incorporating mills with central waterwheels survive well: they were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards. The ruins of a number of ancillary buildings also survive. A proving mortar—a type of small cannon used to gauge the strength of the gunpowder—used by the factory still lies by the side of the road.

Lindale Mill in Lindale, GA.
According to their website: In 1896, Massachusetts Mills opened a new textile mill in Lindale, Georgia. The mill produced 1/7 of all textiles in Georgia. 1,393 people were employed by the mill in 1903. In 1926, the mill was sold to Pepperell Manufacturing Company, giving the community and school the name Pepperell. After 105 years of manufacturing textiles in Georgia, the mill closed in 2001. The closure dealt a huge blow to the economy of Floyd County, and to the community of Lindale.

Houghton Mill, near St Ives in Cambridgeshire, is the only working watermill left on the Great Ouse. The present Grade II*-listed building probably dates from the 17th century and was substantially altered and extended in the 18th and 19th centuries.
In its mid-19th century heyday, the mill ran 10 pairs of stones, powered by three separate waterwheels. Much of the internal machinery remains intact although the wheels were removed in the 1930s when the mill stopped production. Today, corn is ground by a pair of millstones powered by the north waterwheel which was re-instated in 1999.
Houghton Mill is owned by the National Trust.
Fidlers Mill was built by Daniel Peck in 1821. In 1840, William Fidler bought the mill along with a 200 acre farm, and it remained in the Fidler family for most of the next 140 years. It is located between West Virginia Wildlife Center and Holly River State Park; Fidler's Mill provides a scenic & educational whistle-stop on WV Rt. 20.

Soar Mill cove, in the South Hams. Initially I had planned to shoot from the beach but after walking around the cliff tops I felt that this composition was a lot stronger, all that was left was to wait for the light.......
Watkins Mill, in Lawson, Missouri, is a preserved woolen mill dating to the mid-19th century. Designated a National Historic Landmark on November 13, 1966, the mill is protected as Missouri's Watkins Mill State Historic Site which preserve its machinery and business records as well as the building itself.
The Crystal Mill was built in 1893 to harness the power of the water from the Crystal River. The water turbine inside the mill drove an air compressor to power machinery and tools for nearby silver mines. The mill fell into disuse in 1917 and has been left as is ever since. Getting here wasn’t easy. After the 4 hour drive we reached a track only accessible by some 4x4s which we needed to hike. The hike was over 2 hours but well worth the trip. With the Apsen trees being in their peak fall yellows and oranges, it was the perfect time to visit this old piece of Colorado history.
