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.
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.
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.

The abandoned Skidoo Mill, high in the Panamint Mountains of Death Valley National Park
I have been out to the site of the old town of Skidoo a few times. Oddly perhaps, snow has played a part in more than half of my visits—not what you might expect for a desert region like Death Valley. The first time I went there I really did not know much about the place at all, and I drove the nine mile gravel road more or less on a whim, arriving at the broad valley where the main town was, finding little there, poking around a bit, and leaving, a bit disappointed. (I did have a chance to investigate some other historical sites in the area on the same trip, so in the end I didn't feel cheated.) More recently I visited last winter, during a very cold trip to the park when I encountered sub-freezing temperature down in Death Valley itself and colder temperature well down into the teens up here. Parts of the road were covered by shallow snow, and it was a quiet and lonely experience to be out there alone in the snow. This time I poked around a bit more, exploring some side trails and nearby ridges, until I decided that it was best not to push too far with the snow on the ground.
This past April we were there again, on a day full of interesting experiences and adventures. I often spend at least a day up in the Panamint Range when I visit the park, and I always find new and interesting things, but I don't think I've ever encountered such a range of conditions and subjects in a single day before. We started before dawn and had a brief moment of sunrise light before the clouds of an incoming storm turned out the lights. Very soon we began to see snow flurries along the Panamint ridge and other summits, and soon after visiting one historic site it began to snow in earnest. We headed toward a higher location and finally had to back down as the snow continued to fall. Surprisingly, in these cold conditions and snow we found... abundant wildflowers! We stopped several times to photograph the unexpected display, and then decided to make the side trip to Skidoo as the storm passed and the sun came out. Once there we pushed out past the town site to the location of the old mill, where ore from the mines was processed. The mill, long abandoned and deteriorating now, is an astonishing thing. Its location is unexpected and stunning. It sits right below the crest of a steep ridge and the structure stretches down toward a deep valley below—and the entire site overlooks a vast and arid desert landscape, a bit of which is visible in this photograph. Even more amazing, this mill was powered by water, not at all what you would expect in such a dry and desolate place. But the miners ran a pipeline over 20 miles from a spring elsewhere in the high Panamints to get water to supply power and for the domestic use of the town's residents.

Remains of an old pulp mill in Harper's Ferry, W.Va.
There's not a lot left of this one. It was shut down during the Depression for lack of product demand, and then torn apart by a flood shortly after.

The last loaded china clay train left Ponts Mill works on 21st April 1992. The branch remained in situ and the site of the works was used to refurbish the CDA wagon fleet. In this photo a rake of stored stock from St.Blazey had been dumped here, presumably to create space at the depot?? From memory it was here for about a month. The vandalised GUV carried the internal user number 061208 originally 93776 and was a stores vehicle at St.Blazey, reported cut up there by Raxstar 09/03.
White's Mill
12291 Whites Mill Road
Abingdon
Washington County, VA
White's Mill is located in Abingdon, VA. It is a late 18th century mill that continued operations through 1989. In 1974 the Virginia and National Registries of Historic Places listed White's Mill. In 2001, White's Mill Foundation formed and purchased the mill. The mill has recently been renovated. But I still would not swim in their pond!
Abingdon, VA is a wonderful little town to visit. It has a beautiful historical section and did I mention Abingdon also has an Ashby's Ice Cream Parlor, which is my favorite ice cream.
A beautiful hike through Carding Mill Valley, Shropshire. Nikon D750, 28-80mm lens on a travel tripod.
A trip to nearby Robin Hood's Bay and a new cascade today. If not for lots of fallen trees this waterfall would be magnificent. The Mill, with restored wheel, would have made a great shot but everything was made untidy by all the dead wood! The only unobstructed shot I could get was this.
It had rained a lot yesterday and the water was pretty wild at this old mill site on the Coginchaug River,

The centre of the main building dates to around 1800 the mill was then extended at each end as can be denoted by the difference in the colour of the brickwork.
The mill fell into disrepair around 1947 but was fully restored in 1987.
Freshly ground flour along with bread produced from the flour is sold from the mill and other local outlets.
The stone house that sits at the site of the reconstructed Washington Mill in Perryopolis, PA. I don't believe this is part of the park where the mill was recently rebuilt using federal funds.
More on the historic town of Perryopolis:
The mill, owned by the Joseph Barron family for almost a century and now owned by MaryJane Butters, is the only intact flour mill remaining on the Palouse.
The J.C. Barron Flour Mill in Oakesdale, a
gorgeous three story structure, was built in 1890
and by 1891 the railroad shipped 2 million bushels
of wheat per year out of the building. The
flour mill was a pioneer in the whole wheat
industry when health benefits of whole
wheat became widely known and utilized
the wheat grown in the region by local
farmers. The building no longer houses
the flour mill but stands as a beautiful
reminder of a bygone era at the edge of
town.
