Do you know that, two kilometers far from Rapallo's main square, you can find a water-mill? I think not.
Well, this water-mill lies at the beginning of Tuja valley in Rapallo, now unfortunately there is no water so it can't work, but in november the water-mill will run in order to grind chestnuts.
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
The remains of an old lead smelting mill on the moors between Arkengarthdale and Swaledale. It replaced two earlier watermills on the site and operated from the mid to late 19th century.
This pair is resident at Mill Lake Park in Abbotsford. There have not been many juvenile Bald Eagles there that I have seen these last 10 years. I would have thought they would be sitting on eggs by now. I did see them leave later and do some breeding behavior up in the sky, so perhaps they know that spring is not quite here yet.
Built 1866 and rebuilt 1893
The mill were in use untill 1950.
Don't know exactly what they did on it though.....
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.

Route 114 at Ruislip Station.
Luck worked in my favour this morning when VLE24 broke down on the eastern end of the 114 to be subbed by this VH. It's a working I know has happened once before, but I was away and thus missed it, so it's fantastic to have happened again. Funnily enough, this is one of the recent transfers to BT from S because of continual new-shape VH swaps to do with minor batch differences - hence the LU stickering.
I'm given to understand that these are not supposed to be on the 114 - I was surprised to find out that they had 114 on the blinds, but only Mill Hill and Ruislip with no curtailment points. The original VHs have been appearing in great numbers on the route, displaced by these new shape models on the 13 and N13.
For those with blind interests, they are blinded for the following: 13, N13, 114 (Ruislip & Mill Hill only), 139, 183, 292, 605, 618, 619 and H14.
Only a month to go before these are the staple vehicles on the 114, albeit operated by Metroline out of Uxbridge!

Mabry Mill was built by Edwin Boston Mabry (E.B. Mabry). E.B. Mabry returned to Floyd County in 1903 and began the construction of the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then became a sawmill. By 1905 it was in operation as a gristmill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed and included a lathe for turning out wheel hubs, a tongue and groove lathe, a planer and a jig-saw. Between 1905 and 1914 E.B. Mabry bought adjacent tracts of land, mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power.
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.

Sir Richard Arkwright's Masson Mill is a cotton spinning mill located on the West Bank of the River Derwent near Matlock Bath in Derbyshire.
The oldest parts of the mill date from 1783 with additions being made during the 19th and 20th centuries.
First powered by a single water wheel, then another was added in 1801 before turbines were installed in 1928.
The mill now forms part of the Derwent Valley Mills, a World Heritage Site.
Stone Dam Mill was a steam powered worsted spinning mill built for William Huntriss. It is now warehouse shop. The mill was built c1836 for worsted spinning and extended c1855. In 1889 Hugh Campbell moved to Halifax to start his own business manufacturing gas engines. He set up a workshop in Stone Dam Works, Well Lane, Halifax, financed by local people who admired his workmanship. As the business developed he had new premises built and moved out of the Stone Dam site. The building is Grade II listed.

Pictured nearly 17 years after the last china clay train left, the Ponts Mill branch is still visible. The track was never lifted and in 2022 is still in situ but totally hidden by undergrowth.
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.
