The General Mills plant in Buffalo as far as I am aware no longer produces Gold Medal flour but still makes Cheerios, Lucky Charms, & Chex cereal.
Arriving in Lassen Volcanic National Park, we stopped at the Kohm Yah-mah-nee ("snow mountain") Visitor Center. After getting some hiking recommendations from the friendly rangers, we settled on the Mill Creek Falls trail, which departs from right outside the Visitor's Center.

The abandoned boats at Pin Mill in Suffolk, amazing to view them and see the decaying hulls of these old boats.
Great place to visit whether the tide in or out, but definitely needs your Wellington boots on to have a good walk about near these wrecks as you can sink to your knees in the soft surface.
If anyone knows of any similar places to this in Essex, Norfolk and Suffolk please leave a comment I would love to visit all of them.

Kings Mill viaduct
Mansfield
Nottinghamshire
Good Friday
April 2nd, 2021.
Kings Mill viaduct was built in 1817 on the route of the Mansfield-Pinxton Railway, a horse-drawn railway. It is the oldest railway viaduct in England and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
This is a scene down the road a mile from me...I always love hearing the train at night. There used to be a huge paper mill here but it closed acouple years ago...I miss it! It used to provide 300 jobs for the area and I sure hate seeing it sit empty....so sad! Hope everyone is having a nice week. I have no energy to do anything but sit around. Looks like it's gonna snow...I feel very down...:( Photography is good medicine for that!
From vintage postcard (no date on it) describing this as "The mill stream waterfall at The Old Mill, Ancaster Ontario".

The Howk was one of the most northerly of more than 100 bobbin mills in Cumbria.The fast flowing rivers of the Lake District being ideal as a source of power for the mills.
At one time Lakeland mills accounted for about half the bobbins produced in Britain. The Howk mill also made handles for picks, washing dollies and cartwheel spokes.
Oatlands, Tasmania
Callington Mill is a Lincolnshire tower mill built in 1837 in Oatlands, Tasmania by John Vincent. It has recently been restored so that it is now in full working order and is the only operating mill of its type in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the third oldest windmill in Australia. Traditional baker and blacksmith Alan Scott was a central figure at the mill. Today the mill is a major tourist attraction of Oatlands. Visitors are able to climb the internal stairs for a view across Oatlands and surrounds. The mill site comprises the windmill, a granary, stable, miller’s cottage and mill owner’s house.

Gibbet Mill, Tillingham Mill, Barry's Mill or New Mill
A mill has stood on this site since 1596, and a post mill is known to have been built here in 1758. Gibbet Mill was built in 1824, the name Barry's mill coming from an early miller. The mill was working by wind until 1912, and was used as a bakery until 13 June 1930 when it was burnt down. The New Mill was erected in 1932, Neve's of Heathfield being responsible for the millwrighting work.
As built, Gibbett Mill was a four storey smock mill on a single storey brick base, with a stage at first floor level. In 1844 she had four Patent sails but latterly was worked with four Spring sails. These were carried in a cast iron Windshaft. The cap was in the Kentish style, winded by a fantail. The mill drove three pairs of millstones.
The replica mill has a shorter smock, making the mill appear squatter than the original. The cap is exaggerated in height and is not designed to turn into the wind. Replica sails and fantail are carried. The reconstructed stage is wider than the original.

Tone Mills is a complete water-powered cloth finishing works, established by the Fox Brothers and Co at the confluence of the River Tone and the Back Stream and dates from 1830. The remains of the water wheel remain in-situ and so too do all the line shafting and gearing. The Mill later had an electric motor installed to supplement the water-wheel during times of drought, although the water wheel continued to be used for many decades after. Put simply the mill comprises of a number of key areas to accommodate the various stages of production: A Fulling area, where wet cloth was dried, scoured, cleaned and milled to the desired finish. A dying room, adjacent to the fulling area which specialised in producing an indigo colouring. Reservoirs and Sluice gates, to manage the flow of water into the wheel chamber. The wheel chamber and a later power house.
The associated machinery for all the stages of production are all in-situ, making it an industrial archaeologists paradise.
The works finally closed in 2000 and production was moved to a more contemporary location. The buildings and machinery are Grade II* listed.

The 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 present mill, Loddon watermill near the town centre which is no longer functioning, was built in the 18th century with the river diverted to run underneath it. Loddon watermill was sometimes known as Chedgrave mill and is one of the earliest recorded buildings in the town.
It was built of weatherboard with a pantiled roof, and was situated quite close to the centre of the town. The mill pool was never very big, but was apparently a widened and deepened Y-shaped section of river up stream of the mill. This produced adequate power for the miller to meet the needs of the local farmers and villagers. The mill still retains 19th-century milling equipment.
