This is a small collection of photos of feed mills that can be found in the downtown of Petaluma. Petaluma's skyline is scattered with these mills that give our small town character and reminds us of the history of our city.
The old Washburn Mill A, maker of Gold Medal flour. Now the Mill City Museum, telling about the importance of the wheat flour industry to Minneapolis for about 100 years.
Second upload of this panoramic shot after a few subtle adjustments in Lightroom, definitely prefer this one after comparing the two.
The other version now deleted.
A very famous mill at Skidby near Hull. It's tricky to get a good view point of the mill. I found a good spot in the children's play area where I used a climbing frame as a tripod !!!
The old mill in downtown Clinton, New Jersey.

A watermill probably stood on the site of Lode Mill at the time of the Domesday survey in 1086. The Mill which stands today is likely to have been built in the eighteenth century.
In 1793 the mill was described in a sale notice as 'Anglesea Watermill with dwelling house, yard, garden, barn, stables and outhouse and 3 acres of pasture adjoining'. Old photographs show the house next to the mill. The house was taken down in the renovation of the 1930s.
In about 1900 the mill was converted from corn grinding to cement grinding. The cement was generally made by firing a mixture of clay and lime or natural chalk at about 400°C and grinding the resulting clinker into a powder.
An engine may have been installed at this time, as inside the mill today there are some shafts, gears and a chain drive that are unusual in a watermill.
The mill was owned by the Bottisham Lode Cement and Brick Company. Bottisham Lode is the stretch of water below the mill, one of a number of lodes that were used as a transport link to the River Cam. The water above the mill is called Quy Water

LYTHAM MILL,
LYTHAM St ANNES, LANCASHIRE.
Lytham Mill was built in 1805 and was designed to grind wheat and oats.
On 2nd January 1919 high winds spun the sails out of control despite the brake applied, sparks ignited the woodwork and fire quickly ravaged the mill causing the mill to be burnt out.
2 years later squire John T Clifton donated the gutted building to the town, the shell was restored given a new cap and mock sails.
The plinth surrounding the mill was added later for safety reasons.
In 1951 the mill was designated a grade 2 listed building, and was finally restored fully in 1989 by the Fylde Borough Council and opened to the public.
Next to the Mill is the old Lytham lifeboat house. Lytham lifeboat is synonymous with the "Mexico Disaster" on 9-12-1886 in heavy seas 3 lifeboats (1 from here 2 from other areas) rescued all 12 of the crew from the 400 ton German barque "Mexico" which had ran aground on the sand banks around the Ribble estuary near Southport.
A three-span non authentic Stringer truss 151' 5" over Mill Rock Creek. Located: Northeast of Zingara, Georgia on Haralson Mill Road. Construction of the new bridge at this site was necessitated due to the planned raising of the water level of Big Haynes Reservoir, that, at certain times of the year would have inundated the roadway. It replaced an authentic historic covered bridge.
This is the front view. The water wheel actually turns, but it is not motorized. I do have a Lego wind-up motor I could put into it, but it is pretty bulky and would take up a lot of space in the secret room below the main floor.

The domestic finishing mill stands in a prominent and picturesque location in the centre of Paisley and is a proud reminder of the town's industrial heritage. It was part of a larger complex known collectively as the 'Anchor Mills'. The mill was built in 1886, and is of red brick with a sandstone balustrade. It occupies an area of 36,000 square feet.
Internally, the mill has a central well topped with an unusual glass lantern light. This allowed light in, and also provided space for the drive belts from the engine on the ground floor to reach the machines on the upper floors. The mill was one of the earliest buildings in Paisley to have electric light.
The Anchor Mills complex employed many hundreds of local people. When the finishing mill was built the complex filled 9 acres. By 1914 it covered 28 acres and by 1952 it had spread to 51 acres. Work in the domestic finishing mill finished in the 1980s, and the mill lay empty and neglected for twenty years until a regeneration project saved this landmark building. It now contains businesses and private apartments.
Fallgate Mill at Ashover is an ancient corn mill, dated 1781 but incorporating earlier structures, that continued in use until the 1950s, latterly used for crushing fluorspar. It is listed Grade II and has recently been converted to a house although it still incorporates the gearing and stones. John M Else was the miller in 1891.
The building seen at the rear was a power station built by the Clay Cross Company in the 1920s to provide electricity to the nearby limestone quarries.
In the Algarve we have plenty of wind mills to produce energy out of wind. When I went for a ride yesterday at dusk I saw these and I had to shoot them.
