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.

I wanted to convey the impressive size of the mills as they funnel the viewer'a eye into the distance. I also wished to display the contrast between the flat verticals and the random clouds.
My daughter and I finally went out to snap some local photos. This is Starrs Mill near where we live. I used the classical oil brush technique in CPE4 to give it this painterly effect.
Situated right next to the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway tracks (which I had to scramble up through some dense bush to get at for this shot) is the Weisheimer Bros. mill (780 King Ave., Columbus OH). Built in 1901 and run up until 1957, today it is an artist and small business space. Notes from March 1st, 1915 say, "Their brands of flour are the "Jewel," "Pride," "Victor" and "Climax." Hmm... Climax flour... well, that's interesting!
Just off of Route 66 at 344 E. Pine St. in Bourbon, Missouri. We had just finished our evening meal and were about to head for our motel, but it was still light enough to poke around a little more so, we went into the town of Bourbon Missouri just off of Route 66. The town looks quite depressed with this feed and farm supply company near the center of town.
From the internet:
"The original mill was built around the late 1800's of frame construction, but was burned by the KKK in the late 1930's. The replacement mill was built of concrete so as to make it more fire-resistant. . . . Four large silos are attached to the north end of the mill and are covered with a one piece roof. Flour milling ceased about 1948-50 and the mill converted to grinding livestock feed as a feed mill."
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.

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 Park Lane cotton spinning mills of Leigh Spinners date from 1913 and 1923. Still in the same ownership they are now subject to restoration for business and community use by the Leigh Building Preservation Trust. This end is the No.1 mill of 1913 which is in poor condition but has recently been awarded funding to repair the roof. The buildings are listed Grade II*.

Litton Mill, Derbyshire Peak District. A water powered cotton mill was established here on the River Wye in 1782 by Ellis Needham and Thomas Frith and despite its rural setting adopted some of the worst working practices and conditions usually associated with urban locations. A regular supply of children from local workhouses and orphanages was supplemented by other children shipped from workhouses in London. The Mill is now much-altered apartments but some of the original buildings survive including a row of workers cottages, a chimney / flue and Managers House.
No wonder the Green Tea products in Japan taste so good! A real working Matcha mill, making powder from Tea, natural, simple and effective. After the photo I bought some Mochi to go! Nishiki Market, Kyoto, Japan.
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.
Another of Stormie Mills's early works in an adjacent laneway. Nice to see it hasn't been desicrated after so many years. stormiemills.com/
...several years ago a good friend invited me to see an old mill near Licking, MO; having published a photo book of Missouri Grist Mills, i jumped at the chance...if i do a revision, this mill will certainly be included.
Up the creek view of the dam and pumping station on Cincinnati's Mill Creek. The lock to left closes to keep the Ohio River from flooding Cincinnati. Water from Mill Creek is pumped into the Ohio River. The overflow from heavy rain is contaminated with raw sewage. It's a bad deal for many homeowners.
The Mill Bridge was built over First Branch of White River, Vermont in1883. Its construction cost was $ 523.
The bridge was built by a self-taught carpenter, Samuel Adams, who built the remaining four bridges down the river. They are now listed in the list of historical monuments.
This bridge in 1999. suffered a sad fate - it was carried off by ice hummocks. For some time the bridge was kept on the surface of the ice and the rescuers decided how it could be saved, but by the time the equipment arrived, the ice had melted and the bridge had to be burned so that its fragments did not demolish the bridges downstream. What we see now is the exact replica of the old bridge. Sheathing is made of pine.

This water mill is a National Trust property near Sturminster Marshall. Normally you can see the outflow tunnels from this viewpoint but the river has flooded and they are totally submerged at the moment. However it does result in this nice reflection.
