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.
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.

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.
A few weeks ago at the Fitzroy Mills street market. A great vibe and fun to wander around. Lots of great arts and crafts on sale as well as second hand stuff.

McHargue's Mill is a reproduction working watermill with authentic interior works. It was built on the banks of the Little Laurel River by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1939. It is located in the Levi Jackson Wilderness Road State Park in London, Ky.
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.
This wonderfully restored and preserved mill (and it's smaller brother) gets frequent visits from me and my camera. But the fence doesn't: normally.
My grateful thanks to Sonora Guy for the preset: Gold Tone Dark and Sharp.
It really does add to the atmosphere and I love it.
Not only the funiest commenter on Flickr, a mighty fine photographer, but now an accomplished preset designer.
Talent overload if you ask me.
Thanks SG. (Dollars will be fine BTW).
You can see more of this preset on his photostream, applied to a wonderful series of Railway Museum images

Willington Mill at Wallsend was one of the first steam-powered flour mills in Europe, being opened in 1806, and now within the industrial premises of Bridon Bekaert, a leading global innovator, developer and producer of high performance steel ropes and advanced cords. The factory sits adjacent to Willington Cut, deemed a Site of Nature Conservation Importance. Looking along Willington Cut, Tyne & Wear Metro units 4028 and 4011, soon to be taken out of service, head east towards Tynemouth across the historic Willington Dene Viaduct, which was opened in 1839 for the Newcastle and North Shields Railway, the first railway line into Newcastle.

Pilgrim John Jenney & the 1636 Grist Mill
One of the main reasons the Pilgrims decided to locate in Plymouth is the waterway that is referred to today as Town Brook. Town Brook is a small river that runs through the center of Plymouth for a mile and a half and empties into the harbor next to Plymouth Rock. On this river you will find the recreation of the Jenney Grist Mill built on the location of the first mill built in the United States. The mill is operational and runs the same as it did when it was originally built in 1636.
The Pilgrims found this river important for three reasons. The first is that over the rivers mile and a half run it drops 80 feet in elevation allowing for ample waterpower. The second is that the river and the pond that feeds it are spring fed so that even in times of drought, the river never runs out of water. The third is that the river supplied the Pilgrims with their fertilizer. Every spring fish called herring migrate from the ocean up to the pond to spawn. On the way by the mill the Pilgrims would take the fish from the river and plant them in the sandy ground to fertilize for the planting of the corn. To this day, over a six-week period, thousands of fish go up this fish ladder to spawn.
John Jenney, who built the mill in 1636, changed the quality of life for the Pilgrims.By grinding corn with water power, it was easier to feed the increasing population. The building of the mill was also instrumental in the establishment of the free market system. Eventually there were over 14 mills built on this river contributing to the beginning of industry in the United States.

A foray with the Staffordshire Fungus Group. I had a wonderful time although fungi was a bit sparse. There were two old mills. This one is still working. The waterways were pretty, I saw a Dragonfly and two frogs. A lovely few hours in the woods. Kibblestone Scout Camp Staffordshire UK 17th September 2023
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.

Crushing Mills, Powder Mills gunpowder factory, Dartmoor, Devon, GBR.
The Powder Mills gunpowder factory on Dartmoor, established in 1844 by George Frean—an alderman of Plymouth—was founded under the Plymouth and Dartmoor Gunpowder Company on land at Cherrybrook Farm. It was strategically sited for its remoteness, central access to markets, and reliable water supply from the Cherry Brook and East Dart rivers, used to power three water wheels via an innovative system of leats and reservoirs. Now a Grade II Listed site of national significance, it comprises at least 18 buildings formerly used for the manufacture, storage, and management of gunpowder, though most roofs and machinery have since been lost.
The factory met strong regional demand from local mining complexes like Birch Tor, quarries including Swell Tor, Foggintor, and Merrivale, and from agricultural rock clearance. It produced blackpowder using imported saltpetre and sulphur, and locally sourced charcoal made from alder, willow, juniper, and birch. The complex production process—grinding, incorporation, pressing, corning, dusting, and drying—was largely powered by water-driven machinery. The gunpowder was packed in oak barrels and distributed to depots in Tavistock, Exeter, and Plymouth.
Designed with safety in mind, the site featured widely spaced, lightly roofed buildings to reduce blast impact. In addition to its industrial heritage, the site includes significant prehistoric features, such as a Bronze Age hut circle settlement, enclosures, and a cairn. This rare combination of industrial and prehistoric remains makes Powder Mills an exceptional and nationally important heritage landscape.

Took my drone for a casual flight this evening over Page Mill Road and was pleasantly treated with an amazing sunset
First I will talk about these mill shots. I've been researching some time now on when I was going to visit this place. I can say this I want to go in the winter time. This beautiful spring has served the area surrounding Centerville, Missouri in the most useful ways in every era of its time. In 1881, Nathaniel Scott built the dam and grist mill to grind the corn into meal and wheat into flour. Shortly thereafter a saw mill was erected supplying much needed lumber to early settlers to build their homes. Sometime before 1915, Dr. Shy had the idea of generating electricity from its water power, so they took off the overshot wheel, installed a turbine and ran electric lines into town. Though the lights were bright at the mill, but dim in town, this supplied the towns’ electric until 1929. The original building and wheel were taken apart, board by board, and sent to San Francisco for exhibition at the 1939 Worlds Fair. This display is now in storage at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C.

This old historic flour mill has been standing since 1918 and was used until 1997. Anyone living in the Phoenix area long enough has seen this landmark standing on the corner of Mill/Rio Salado Pkwy. It's unique and intriguing to see, standing there on the corner so majestic and tall.
While it stands there unoccupied today, it is fortunate that this old mill is not going to get torn down. It's going to be made into office space, an hotel boutique and residential units.
I never tire taking pictures of it. I wish I could go inside the gates to take a closer look at it, but it's guarded and not allowed.
Here are two more shots that I have taken there.
