The historic Thompson-Perkins Mill is a prominent landmark within the LeBreton Flats area and the Ottawa River islands. The heritage building was one of the first grist mills to be built at the Chaudière Falls, and is the oldest surviving stone mill building in Ottawa. Built in 1842, the mill pays homage to the rich Canadian history of brewing, as brewery and distillery operations have flourished in the vicinity of the Flats and Chaudieres Island over centuries. The site and building offer unique views of the Capital, attractive access to the Ottawa River and exemplify the history and industrial heritage of Canada’s Capital Region.

In 1688 Fort Andross was established as a trading post here on the Androscoggin River. Eventually a mill was constructed and after a number of failures Cabot Mills was successful and in 1930 employed over 1100 workers in the two mills. By 1941 it was sold and soon closed. In 1986 It was purchased anew and has been converted into a multiple use facility. The bottom section here is a permanent flea market. In the three stories above there are a number of diverse uses. Included is John Bisbee, a sculptor who (until recently I think) worked almost exclusively using carpenters nails with which he construct his sulputures.

This fourteen-story mill was at the heart of the mill town. Ore entered at top and was refined on the way down.
Klondyke Mill was an ore processing mill on the edge of the Gwydir Forest, near Trefriw, north Wales.
Constructed in 1900,[1] the mill was built to receive lead ore (and some zinc ore) from Pandora mine, some 2 miles away – with which its history is inextricably linked – this ore travelling along a tramway which followed the eastern shore of Llyn Geirionydd. The mill saw little usage; Pandora mine was never profitable after construction of the mill, and the mine ceased operation in 1905. Klondyke mill itself closed in 1911 after having a short succession of optimistic owners.
In the 1920s, the mill achieved notoriety as the scene of an elaborate money-making scam, when investors were sought for the Klondyke mine, which was allegedly rich in silver. It is this scam which gives the mill its current name; during its years of operation it was initially known as Geirionydd Mill, then as the New Pandora Lead Works.[1]
Today the mill lies in a ruined state, a tribute to the false optimism of the time, and is believed to be the largest upstanding building associated with lead mining in north Wales.[2] It is a registered ancient monument [3][4] and, despite its state of disrepair, is under the guardianship of Cadw, the only mine structure in the Gwydir Forest to be so designated.

Really nice evening, unfortunately the mill was facing away from me, and I was on the wrong side of the river to get a front on shot. Never mind though. Got to try my new lens which is amazing (24 ts-e)

Although it's not very long, Mill Street has a surprising variety of housing styles, from the medieval half-timbered to Victorian copies. Some are lath and plaster, some stone, others brick, some painted - and all looking very smart. It's a sought-after location and very much on display given its quaintness and proximity to the castle.
This is the second floor of the Watkins Mill in Lawson, MO. The soft, late afternoon light coming in through the windows.
Hollins Mill, Todmorden and Walsden in Calderdale, was built by the Ormerod family as an integrated cotton mill between 1856 and 1858. In 1905 it was bought by Caleb Hoyle, and continued with the Hoyle name until 1930 when it was bought by W.A.Barker, continuing in cotton spinning and manufacturing until after 1963. The weaving shed with its northlight roof is alongside Rochdale Road whilst the spinning mill is in the background with the hip-roofed engine house standing forward to allow efficient drive to both areas. The spinning mill contained 30,000 spindles and the weaving shed had 600 looms. It is listed Grade II but the weaving shed has seen significant recent demolition.
A lovely old mill.. left empty for too long, looks a bit scary, but hopefully one day it will be used once more.

This windmill called The Gooyer is a windmill in Amsterdam located between Funenkade and Zeeburgerstraat. It is the tallest wooden mill in the Netherlands. It is registered as a National Monument.
The original mill was constructed in the 16th century. After destruction and some movements, in 1725 the mill stood on the site of the current Orange-Nassau barracks. Finally, in 1814 the mill moved again its current location on Funenkade atop the stone base of a watermill that had been demolished in 1812.
This mill is the last 26 corn mills on the bastions of the 17th century walls of Amsterdam. The location of the mills was at that time very favourable as the outskirts of town provided ample wind.
After the mill had fallen into disrepair, it was purchased in 1928 by the city of Amsterdam for 3200 guilders and restored. Due to the lack of power during the Second World War the mill served as a corn mill for Amsterdam. The sails were damaged on November 13, 1972 during a storm. The upper shaft broke and the blades embedded in the adjacent Nieuwevaart. Some years later the original, old Dutch type blades were restored.
This is a hidden quaint part of Suffolk and if you took the modern signs away I would have not thought its changed for 100 years
Baylham Mill ceased working in the 1970's but all the machinery still sits inside, quietly rusting away!
The former Fulling Mill on the banks of the Wear at Durham is rarely the centre of interest in a picture. This is in part due to it's competitor for composition, Durham Cathedral, which stands proud on its higher vantage point directly above. The Fulling Mill invariably gets second billing. So, in an effort to re-address the situation, here it is as star of the show!
Until recently, the former mill was part of Durham University's Department of Archaeology, but it closed in 2013 and has now reopened up on Palace Green. The mill stands empty and I'm not sure what the future holds.
