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
Newport Railway Station (in Welsh Gorsaf Rheilffordd Casnewydd), the third busyiest Station, in Wales. In the city of Newport, South Wales.
The station was originally opened in 1850 by the South Wales Railway. Originally named Newport High Street, the suffix High Street became unnecessary on the closure of Mill Street and Dock Street stations to goods traffic in the 1960s. Printed tickets and National Rail enquiries use the suffix "South Wales" to differentiate this station from its namesake in Essex. In 2007 the Newport Unlimited urban regeneration company proposed the station be renamed Newport City railway station; however, this suggestion was not taken up.
The current station layout consists of four through-platforms numbered 1 to 4 from the south side. The original broad-gauge station had only two 200-foot-long through platforms and a bay platform at the east end of the down platform. The Hillfield railway tunnels to the west of the station were dug under Stow Hill in the 1840s. On the closure of Dock Street and Mill Street stations to passengers in 1880, High Street station was greatly expanded.

The Mill is located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. It is a tourist attraction mainly for the picturesque views of the mill itself, and I totally confirm that. The mill was build in 1905 and was first used as a blacksmith before it was used as a sawmill and a gristmill. Hit 'L' to view large on black

There was me trying to keep it a surprise, not realising at all that Colin had been uploading photos all holiday from his phone!
Anyway, we're home now, and as you may have gathered, we holidayed in Northumberland, England's most northerly county. And contrary to what I'd feared when we left home, we had some lovely sunny weather.
Our holiday cottage was about halfway across the horizon on this photo, just about where the sand meets the woodland (see the note I've added on the photo). This was the sixth holiday we've had at Watersmeet, Waren Mill.
Thanks for all your comments while we were away. I've got lots of washing and unpacking to do. Hope to catch up with all of you soon.
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.
With Terry's expert local knowledge we moved on from Lea Green to Carr Mill where we found 66745 on the 6F67 Tuebrook - Ashton in Makerfield.
We would catch up with it later.
This is my favorite shot that I ended up with of the Crystal Mill. It is actually about four images as my lens couldn't take it all in. Definitely an area I want to get back to someday.
