Arrow Mill, Castleton, Rochdale was was designed by Sydney Stott for R & T Howarth. It was built very quickly. The contract to build was signed in late 1906, the first brick was laid in January 1907, the engine first ran under steam in February 1908 and the first cotton was spun in this large mill fifteen months after the first brick was laid. It was acquired by Courtaulds Ltd in 1934 and sold by them to Arrow Mill Fabrics Ltd in 1979. This was the last cotton mill to operate in the Rochdale area and did not cease production until the late 1990s. It is now listed Grade II and is in multiple occupation.
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.

Mill Bay Beach, Kodiak, Alaska this morning at sunrise. This is three bracketed photos processed in Photomatix and Lightroom.
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.
just the base left now I think it was demolished in the 1920s
I like to type mill road or lane into my sat nav when going through places to see if I can see any evidence of old water and windmills sad as I am
White's Mill

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 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 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.
In 1874 Charles T. Hayden established the Hayden Flour Mills at the base of “A” mountain in Tempe. The mill depended on thousands of bushels of Pima and Maricopa Indian corn and wheat for its success. However, by the 1890’s, within forty years of the first settlements, the local Indian food system collapsed. For a while, Hayden partnered with farmers in Lehi, but eventually the mill sourced grain brought in by rail from out of state. By today’s standards, the mill started out as environmentally “green.” Four French stone bhur mills were powered by water from the free flowing Salt River. (It wasn’t until the 1920’s that the mill converted to electricity.) Over time, the stone mills were replaced with a high-capacity industrial rolling milling process. With consolidation in the milling industry, Hayden Flour Mills ceased operations in 1998 after 125 years of production. In 1873, there were 23,000 mills in the United States; by 1998 there were just 201 mills, with four firms accounting for 70% of total industry capacity.
