The waterfall at Barry Mill.
I headed out early and got the whole place to myself. It was a great walk around the mill without any dog walkers.
The waterfall itself creates a massive roar and draws you in. The bank beside it is pretty slippy and access across the burn can be treacherous, I left pondering whether the angles on the stream would be better from the other side. theres always next time.
Built 1907 by the Hartford Mill (Oldham) Co Ltd. Extended in 1920 and 1924. The architect was Frederick Dixon, who was responsible for over twenty mills in and around Oldham. The Hartford Mill was closed in 1959 and afterwards used by Littlewoods as a mail order warehouse until 1992. Now awaiting demolition for a new housing estate.
My history day continued a short drive up the road from Excelsior Springs where I found this old 19th Century Textile Mill. This three-story woolen mill is the only 19th century textile mill in the country that has its original machinery intact. The Mill was constructed in 1860 of brick handmade at the site, and supported by timbers cut from the owner's land. The Historical Site is located within Watkins Mill State Park near Lawson, MO.
Additional information about the Mill can be found at: mostateparks.com/page/55164/watkins-woolen-mill. Added to the Register of Historic Places in 1966.

Cullompton has a history of manufacturing wool, cloth and later leather. There were three mills, Higher, Lower and Middle Mill. Sitting on the leat of the River Culm in a conservation area, the former fulling mill retains its water turbine and in 1816 the town employed 60 weavers and many spinners. Higher Mill later became a corn mill.

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."

An old mill building showings signs of decay.
I shot this photo to capture the textures and lines on this old building. I wanted to emphasize both the horizontal lines and the shadows thrown across the face of the structure. The old iron ladder breaks up the horizontal and verticals of the mill.

Mill Gill is a river that flows of White Beacon Haggs through the village of Askrigg in the Yorkshire Dales.
There are numerous waterfalls along it's route, this one is un-named, but it's where the path crosses the river below Whitfield Force (which is unfortunately unaccessable)
GBRf Class 66/7 No. 66741, heads the 6V75 Dee Marsh Margam steel train seen passing through Little Mill Junction. The single line on the right is a remnant of the former branch line to Usk and Glascoed, now retained for NR Tampa track maintenance machines which occasionally use the remnant siding-spur. Amazingly, the solitary semaphore signal, LM2, a remnant from the former branch line, still survives.
Photographs of Skidby Mill taken before the year 2000 seem to be fairly scarce on the internet; the current museum and reception area were opened in 2002, so it could be those changes, along with the advent of digital cameras prompted more people to visit and record it.
I took this one on 13th April 1979, and at that time, although nominally under the ownership of the then Humberside County Council, the mill was being run by local miller/handyman Clive Bowes along with Roy Gregory, the Council's Chief Officer, who had restored the mill to wind power in 1974. These were "old school" folk and from what I have been told, today's health & safety personnel definitely would not approve! A couple of months after I took this, there were around a dozen visitors in the mill and museum when a sail snapped, sheared away from its shackles and crashed through the roof of one of the buildings. Fortunately, despite the severity of the incident, no-one was injured. After assessing the damage, the opposing sail was removed and the mill reduced to two sails to keep it balanced. Over the next couple of years repairs were carried out on the building, a new sail was manufactured and the mill was restored to working with four sails in 1983.
Today, this viewpoint is almost totally obscured by trees and a new house occupies the site, roughly where someone is having a bonfire.

Between Thanksgiving dinner at my in-law's house and Thanksgiving dinner at my parent's house, I had time to stop at Sixes Mill for a few photos.
