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.
Wasn't particularly pleased with any of the interiors I shot at the silk mill. Might revisit these in the future when DXO releases their optics module for the 7-14mm f/2.8.

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.
Almost two centuries ago, the Mill began serving the communities of Sevier County, Tennessee from the banks of The Little Pigeon River, providing much needed meal and flour to the early settlers there. It still does. Originally, Pigeon Forge was named for the passenger pigeons that frequented the area when it was settled in the late 1790's.
In 1820, Isaac Love established an iron forge as the community’s first business. The name Pigeon Forge is a combination of the iron forge and the Little Pigeon River. In 1830, Isaac’s son William, dammed up the Little Pigeon and began construction of the first building of what has become the Old Mill. He used 40-ft long, "14x14" Yellow Poplar logs which are still clearly visible today.
Huge river rocks have served to support the Old Mill during all these years. In the early days the mill was the heart of the community and served as a gathering spot for the villagers. It is still such an attraction today, not only for Pigeon Forge, but also for the Great Smoky Mountain National Park area itself.
Today, The Old Mill is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and just as in the 19th century, it's still one of the most popular places in the Smokies and one of the most photographed mills in the country. Ten million plus yearly visitors pass through Pigeon Forge

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.

Behind the go-kart track that is on the site of the former Little Mill brickworks is a woodland. If you follow the slightly overgrown paths through the woods, heading east, you find yourself in an area of sudden hollows, steep slopes, watery channels and odd mounds, all obviously man-made. I rather suspect that these may be the remains of the Little Mill clay pits and workings, though there is little beyond the landforms and the brickworks that was known to be next to it to show for it.
I was in here before starting work at 2pm today, and my rather hurried exit, uphill and through brambles was not much fun. Serves me right for almost not leaving enough time to get back to the car. Good job work is only across the road from here, literally.
Llynnon Mill, Llanddeusant, Anglesey, 1775 and 1978-86. The only working windmill in Wales, flour for sale inside. Nearby, an 'iron age settlement' of roundhouses built in 2007. Sketched on site with fountain pen and watercolour.
I always knew of the Hover mansion; it was always there. I didn't know it was in essence, an experimental farmstead in the early Twentieth century. Area farmers could back their wagons up to this mill, buy and load their specialty seed stock from the mill/granary. I suppose that this structure is rather diminutive because it dispensed specialty seed grains that were meant to be replanted.
Much of the Hover Farm production was devoted to developing seed crops, like the pure Marquis wheat and Wisconsin Pedigree raised to be sold as seed. Hover experimented to develop new rust resistant strains of wheat. He used a seed cleaning machine and sacked the seed for sale for the next year's crop. (That's exactly how TRrump sacks common labor and small contractors.) Hover also processed corn, oats and barley that was stored in various sections in his on-site mill using his agricultural leg elevator... Hover Home, Longmont Historical Society.
From the Hover Home web site: "In the early 1900's, Charles and Catherine Hover came to Colorado from Chicago. Charles was semi-retired after having had a very successful and lucrative career as a wholesale pharmaceutical salesman. He moved to Denver where he helped his brother part time, who was in the same business of pharmaceutical sales.
The Hovers were in Denver a relatively short period of time when Charles' health began to fail. They moved to Longmont and bought the property on the west side of town in hopes that Charles' health would improve with "country living".
The Hovers lived a quiet country life on the outskirts of Longmont. Their property included many acres west of a line that now extends from Mountain View Avenue to Highway 66. Charles dabbled at being a "gentleman farmer" and shared the profits of the crops raised on the land 50-50 with his tenant farmers.
Construction of the Hover home took four years to complete and was ready for their occupancy in 1912. The beautiful, Tudor style Hover home consists of 3,500 square feet of living space and includes many "modern" conveniences that were unheard of and considered quite eccentric and extravagant at the time. The total cost of the home in 1912 was $25,000.

This is Hinchcliffe Mill just up the road from Holmfirth.A typical little pennine village built around a mill or two.The Austonley meadows are just above the village with the edge of the moors leading up to Black Hill just beyond. It sums up this part of the world very nicely.
Mabry Mill
Blue Ridge Parkway, VA
Once again I am living in my archives.
Mabry Mill is my favorite Grist Mill and one of the most photographed places on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The mill was operated by E.B. Mabry from 1910 - 1935. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then a sawmill and then in 1905 a grist mill. By 1910, the front part of the mill was completed. If you would like to visit Mabry Mill, it is located at mile marker 176.2 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Hutchisons Mill at Kirkcaldy has a long history of flour production, dating back to 1826 when Robert Hutchison developed a grain processing plant which would eventually occupy a great swathe of the port area of East Kirkcaldy.
The mill is one of only two remaining flour mills in Scotland. Although still on its original site, there has been substantial investment at the Kirkcaldy site. In 2010 the port facilities were re-opened and in 2013 a new mill was built alongside the existing wheat storage facility. At the time of building this was the most technologically advanced mill in the UK.
The Hutchison, Kirkcaldy mill has served the Scottish bakery market successfully for many years and understand the special demands of the customers. The mill was specifically designed to include the flexibility required to produce the unique Scottish grades of flours.
Flour from locally-grown wheat is still regarded as the key ingredient in Scottish shortbread and biscuits. The mill’s port location enables the import of top quality grain via a cargo boat. At Kirkcaldy 70% of the wheat is delivered by boat and the remaining wheat is sourced locally from Scotland and North East England.
The Carr business was founded by Jonathan Dodgson Carr in the 1830s and has two other mills at Silloth and Maldon. Since 2016 it has been owned by Whitworth Holdings. Carr’s head office is based at the Kirkcaldy site.
At the wharf is the 'MAIKE' which is a German registered General Cargo ship that was built in 1989. Her carrying capacity is 2339 tonnes DWT.
