Boott Cotton Mills opened in 1835, and in its heyday swarmed with activity. Thousands of mechanical looms filled its long corridors, and the complex was packed with workers churning out millions of yards of textiles a year. Many of the employees, thanks to another innovation by the founders, were women. Some were children. Factory bosses recruited from the farms of New England to persuade young women to move to town and live in boarding houses near the factories. In fact, women working the mills fought some of the country's early labor and equal rights battles as they organized against 12- to 14-hour days and poor conditions.
The textile industry rolled along, and Boott operated for 120 years. When the industry tanked after World War II, so went Lowell's factories, sending the city into a rough period of unemployment and crime.
India Mill at Darwen was completed for Shorrocks Brothers in 1867 for cotton spinning. The chimney is 24ft square and stands 303 feet tall. The design was by E.Bates of Manchester and built by B. Lloyd of Darwen. The spinning mill closed in 1991 and is now occupied by a variety of businesses. The chimney was in poor condition until in 2007 the top ten feet was rebuilt, a cap put in place and the interior renovated. It is listed Grade II*.
This is another view of the Yates Mill. This is the result of a 3 pictures HDR (-2,0,+2) blended with the -2 for a sky with no moving clouds (a common problem of HDR pictures).
Esta es otra vista del molino Yates. Corresponde a una HDR de 3 imágenes (-2,0,+2). Para el cielo usé sólamente la imágen -2 con 1.4 de saturación. El cielo con nubes es un problema cuando éstas se mueven rápido (como el caso de ésta fotografÃa). Por eso la solución de usar el cielo de sólo una foto.
I wish I had my feet in those cold spring waters today!

This is the Glade Grist Mill found in West Virginia. I decided on a whim to jump in my car to go see if I could get a good shot. I left Ohio around 3pm and got to W. Virginia around 10pm with no place to stay. I had the most miserable night of sleep in my car. I was freezing cold and sick to my stomach and believe me when i say it was quite a relief to see the sun. It turned out to be a beautiful fall day. When something is so beautiful it becomes an easy shot! I like the color version the best.
Red Mill Burgers, Interbay, Seattle. Established 1998.
Red Mill takes its name from an older Seattle restaurant, which operated between 1937 and 1967. The two sisters of the owner of the present Red Mill had worked at the original - and brought home food for the family - so the name was chosen as a tribute.
A rare whiting windmill, probably built around 1812 and now listed Grade II. The mill, which originally had five sails, was designed to crush chalk from the nearby quarry as part of the production of whiting.
Whiting - used as a filler in putty, paint and whitewash - was produced in the now demolished whiting works which once adjoined the tower. The remains of this operation can be seen inside the base of the mill’s tower. This includes the wooden crushing tub and vertical edge runner stones that once ground down the chalk, as well the later concrete crushing tub and 6ft millstones that were powered by an electric motor. Four of the mill's original seven floors remain.

Salts Mill opened in 1853 as a textile mill.
It is now used as an art gallery displaying the works of David Hockney.
In 1815, William Fleming, a young Scottish immigrant, built the first mill, which would later become the issue of a long trial with the Sulpicians, the seigniors of the island of Montréal. Miller Fleming built the present-day mill in 1827. He innovated by building an imposing Anglo-Saxon type mill, unique in all of Québec. Although it stopped being used around 1891, the mill was summarily restored by the Burroughs Wellcome firm in 1930. LaSalle acquired it, as well as the surrounding land, in 1947. Classified as a historical monument on January 13, 1983, by Québec's Ministère des Affaires culturelles, the mill was restored in 1990. An interpretation centre and a country theatre now welcome the public every weekend during the summer.(Description source: city of Montreal website)

Just another salvaged series from the film shot in 1997.

One of the most picturesque state parks in Georgia, Watson Mill Bridge contains the longest covered bridge in the state, spanning 229 feet across the South Fork River. Built in 1885 by Washington (W.W.) King, son of freed slave and famous covered-bridge builder Horace King, the bridge is supported by a town lattice truss system held firmly together with wooden pins. At one time, Georgia had more than 200 covered bridges; today, less than 20 remain.
The park is an ideal spot for an afternoon picnic or overnight stay in the quiet campground. Hiking, biking and horseback riding trails allow visitors to enjoy the thick forest and river. During summer, visitors often play in the cool river shoals just below the bridge. Watson Mill Bridge has become a popular destination for horse owners who have their own camping area near stalls.

The Crystal Mill situated on the Crystal River outside of Marble, Colorado is certainly a sight to behold. You will not be disappointed...provided of course you survive the bone jarring 4x4 drive to get to it. This late 1800's powerhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
If it were a perfect world, I would gladly leave my normally unobtrusive watermark off in a corner. But sadly, it is not. And so I am forced to now place it front & center to discourage dishonest people from image theft and cropping watermarks. My apologies to image loving fans everywhere...I trust you will understand. Help fight this by reporting such abuses immediately!
Built in 1873 this mill was used as a cotton gin, then a woodworking shop. Today it is use as a grist mill for cornmeal and grits. The waterwheel is 32 feet in size and the sound it make while turning is almost like a low thunder.
It is a working mill

Another from one of my favourite local spots to walk the dog, the ruins of the 19th Century Cheesden Lumb Mill near Rochdale. The bright sunshine made the colour version super boring, so tried monochromatising it :D
Happy Friday everyone, it's a beautiful day out there (here anyway) :)
