Restoration of Simmons Gap Mill on Ivy Creek along what used to be an old Indian Trail through the Blue Ridge Mountains. The trail later became a wagon trail for settlers traveling West over the eastern range of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The mountains proved daunting for a group of Mennonites, a religious sect practicing modesty and simplicity, who chose to settle here, forming the still thriving Simmons Gap Mission. Since Virginia is on the Atlantic coast, it is sometimes hard to think of it as the gateway to the Old West, but it was.

I photographed this old mill in Brittany, France. Although abandoned some years ago, it is still in good condition. Two things that help keep old structures intact are sound walls, and more importantly, a good roof.

J'ai photographié ce vieux moulin en Bretagne, en France. Bien qu'abandonné il y a quelques années, il est toujours en bon état. Deux choses qui aident à garder les vieilles structures intactes sont des murs solides et, plus important encore, un bon toit.
Abbey Mill, also known as Fletcher's Mill, for a former owner named Abel Fletcher, a Quaker who was the inspiration for the miller in Dinah Craik's popular novel, 'John Halifax - Gentleman', published in 1856.
There has been a mill here since 1190, when the monks of nearby Tewkesbury Abbey had a channel dug from the River Avon to power a mill to grind grain. The channel is known as Mill Avon, and extends from the Avon to the Severn at the southern edge of Tewkesbury. The 12th century mill was rebuilt in 1793 with 4 wheels. It remained in operation until 1920, but could not compete with the larger and more modern Healing's Flour Mill, further north along the channel. That mill in turn went out of business.
Rustenburg is een klein lintdorp in de provincie Noord-Holland, gelegen in de gemeente Koggenland, ongeveer 5 km ten zuidoosten van Heerhugowaard. Het staat bekend om zijn landelijke ligging, de drie historische strijkmolens.
Een strijkmolen is een poldermolen met een zeer geringe opvoerhoogte, die het water als het ware "wegstrijkt" van de ene naar de andere boezem; de molen heeft zelf geen functie als poldermolen, hoewel de constructie ervan gelijk is. In feite is het een boezemgemaal.

Morning fog is still hanging over much of the valley near Sprankle Mills, Pennsylvania as the Pittsburg & Shawmut train from Brookville takes empty hoppers to the mines. Fortunately the sun has burned through to the trestle spanning the valley containing small stream called Big Run.
Gayle Mill, dating from about 1784, is thought to be the oldest structurally unaltered cotton mill in existence. It is located in the Wensleydale hamlet of Gayle, England, 1 mile south of the market town of Hawes. It lies within the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
During our short holiday in England we visited the Forest of Bowland for 2 days. Heather and withered ferns add color to the landscape. We enjoyed this wunderful moorland during our walking and driving through the area. Dunsop Bridge, Forest of Bowland, 2023.

PP In Lightroom NOT HDR.......Various mills have occupied this spot since the first building was erected in the year 969. In the Middle Ages, the mill was owned by the nearby Benedictine Abbey, and peasants were under an obligation to have their flour ground in the mill. Part of the flour was withheld as payment by the miller. When in 1500 the Abbot diverted the river water in order to supply the mill with sufficient power, the neighbouring village was flooded. The villagers rose up in protest, and fifteen years later they were granted permission to change the course of the water in case of an emergency.The present building was probably built in the 17th century, and was extended in the 19th century. In the 1930s, the mill was decommissioned. Local residents bought the building and it was given to the National Trust

The watermill Lippholthausen (Schloßmühle Lippholthausen) in the Lippholthausen district of Lünen is a grain mill built in 1760 near the river Lippe. The watermill of the former Buddenburg noble house is a late Baroque half-timbered building, not far from the former Buddenburg Castle.
From the 14th century until 1902, the Buddenburg house was owned by the Frydag family of Buddenburg. The Frydags belong to the very old Westphalian nobles. The family is mentioned for the first time in 1198.
Around 1535, the noble family built a watermill south of Brunnenstraße and opposite Schlossallee. At the former river Henebecke a large millpond was excavated.
Afterwards, the runs of the creek Henebecke, Sadbecke, Wilbecke and Seltenbecke were diverted so that they flowed directly into the new millpond and fed it with water.
After the mill had been completed and put into operation, the farmers in the area of the thirlage "Buddenburg Mahlzwang" had to come to the castle mill to have their grain ground.
Nothing remains of the mill built at the beginning of the 16th century. However, the current mill building already has a considerable number of years on the hump: It was built in 1760 by Wessel Giesbert von Frydag.
In 1903, Haus Buddenburg and the mill were inherited by the Rüxleben family. The latter finally sold the property to the city of Lünen in 1913. Until 1930 grain was ground in the castle mill.
The old mill pond above the castle mill is no longer present, it was filled in 1938 during the construction of the Lippewerk. A loss for trippers, they could sail around on the pond with paddle boats.
Until the end of the 1970s, the House of Buddenburg, which also included the castle mill, stood in the district of Lippholthausen, now part of Lünen.
The Mühlenfreunde Lippholthausen e. V. restored and maintains the mill, which currently serves as an excursion restaurant and can also be used for weddings. It was placed under monument protection in 1985.
