Gibbet Mill, Tillingham Mill, Barry's Mill or New Mill
A mill has stood on this site since 1596, and a post mill is known to have been built here in 1758. Gibbet Mill was built in 1824, the name Barry's mill coming from an early miller. The mill was working by wind until 1912, and was used as a bakery until 13 June 1930 when it was burnt down. The New Mill was erected in 1932, Neve's of Heathfield being responsible for the millwrighting work.
As built, Gibbett Mill was a four storey smock mill on a single storey brick base, with a stage at first floor level. In 1844 she had four Patent sails but latterly was worked with four Spring sails. These were carried in a cast iron Windshaft. The cap was in the Kentish style, winded by a fantail. The mill drove three pairs of millstones.
The replica mill has a shorter smock, making the mill appear squatter than the original. The cap is exaggerated in height and is not designed to turn into the wind. Replica sails and fantail are carried. The reconstructed stage is wider than the original.

The Old Mill was built in 1930 and was operated by student help and a mill operator. The wheel is considered one of the largest in the world. The water source for the mill originates from a reservoir about a mile away and several hundred feet higher. Water is piped to the mill and pressure from the loss of elevation allows it to reach the top of the column above the wheel. For more information: www.berry.edu/oldmill/
King's Mill or Vincent's Mill, Shipley, West Sussex, England is a smock mill built in 1879 which has been restored and was open to the public until its closure on 19 July 2009.
King's Mill was built in 1879 at a cost of £2,500 by Messrs Grist and Steele, the Horsham millwrights. Machinery from a windmill at Coldwaltham is believed to have been incorporated in the mill. The mill worked commercially until 1926, latterly by a steam engine. It was bought in 1906 by Hilaire Belloc, who owned it until his death in 1953. King's Mill was restored by E Hole and Sons, the Burgess Hill millwrights, as a memorial to Belloc soon after his death and was re-opened to visitors for the first time in 1958. West Sussex County Council had the responsibility for the upkeep of the mill, which remained in the ownership of the Belloc family.
The Shipley Windmill Charitable Trust was formed in 1987 and took over responsibility for the maintenance. Further restoration work was carried out by Hole's between 1987 and 1990, when the mill re-opened, although with only two sweeps at that time. The second pair of sweeps was fitted in 1991. A new pair of sweeps and a new stock were fitted in November 2004. On 7 April 2009, it was announced that the mill was to close to the public as the lease owned by Shipley Mill Charitable Trust only had three years to run and they had been notified that the lease would not be renewed when it expired. The mill, in full working order, opened for the 2009 season on 5 April and held its last open day on 19 July.
The mill was the filming location for Jonathan Creek's home in the BBC series of that name
India Mill at Darwen was completed for Shorrocks Brothers in 1867 for cotton spinning. The chimney is 24ft square and stands 303 feet tall. The design was by E.Bates of Manchester and built by B. Lloyd of Darwen. The spinning mill closed in 1991 and is now occupied by a variety of businesses. The chimney was in poor condition until in 2007 the top ten feet was rebuilt, a cap put in place and the interior renovated. It is listed Grade II*.
Laurel Mill in Louisburg North Carolina. Killing a little time before Thanksgiving Day football games on this dreary cloudy day. But Wait, just as we stepped out of the car , here comes the bright sunshine to replace the perfect lighting we had on the way. Just a few miles from my son's house. Sun was so bright, had to shoot this one with a polarizer & 6ND neutral density filters and still could not blur the water properly.

Although it's not very long, Mill Street has a surprising variety of housing styles, from the medieval half-timbered to Victorian copies. Some are lath and plaster, some stone, others brick, some painted - and all looking very smart. It's a sought-after location and very much on display given its quaintness and proximity to the castle. Up near the eaves on this house I spotted this fire insurance company mark, the County, symbolised by Britannia. At the time of the Great Fire of London in 1666 there was no fire service, but following it insurance companies formed private fire brigades to protect their clients’ property. They would only fight fires at buildings the company insured, which could be identified by marks such as this. Even so, methods basically relied on buckets of water and fire-beaters. It wasn’t until the 17th century that the first fire engines appeared, but they had a very short range owing to the lack of hoses. Then, in 1672 Dutch artist and inventor Jan Van der Heyden's workshop developed the fire hose, made from flexible leather and coupled every 50 feet with brass fittings. The length remains the standard to this day in Europe – in the UK the standard length is either 23m or 25m.
Having already taken a few of this old mill I was looking for something different. This other version here is one of my favourites.

Based on some suggestions from the other B&W version of the mill I decided to upload a new version.

To get to this site, it's a challenging 13 mile round trip hike up to the mill. You can drive in a jeep over rough terrain, but I thought it was so much more enjoyable to take in the scenery as we walked. My Grandparents have lived near Marble since 1979 so I grew up seeing pictures and hearing about the mill. This was my first trip to the mill and it surpassed my expectations in beauty!
This mill was erected in 1802 and ground corn for Rottingdean village until 1881.

Out exploring areas in and around Yellow Springs this morning when I ran across Clifton Mill. It's one of the largest water-powered mills still in operation. A gift shop was just opening for the morning while others sat inside having breakfast. Pretty cool place.
I guess the real prize of our hike was seeing two Chilean mill stones, or wheels, left over from the gold mining operation at this location.
The idea behind this type of mill is that a machine was composed of two rotating wheels, revolving over a pan filled with gold-bearing rocks, which in turn, would then crush rocks so the gold could be extracted.
This link will take you to some Google photos of mills.

I've driven past this site on my way to work for the last few years and often wandered what this site was all about as only the main buildings are visible from the road.
On close inspection it turned out to be a an old mill site with the remnants of multiple water wheels which were once used for grinding bones for fertiliser. The site also includes an old pumping station once used for pumping water up to Sheldon village 500 feet above.
For anyone interested in old industrial ruins or HDR photography this is a great site.
Cromford Mill. The world's first water-powered cotton spinning mill, developed by Richard Arkwright in 1771. Closed in the mid C19th and put to other uses, the buildings were in a poor condition by the mid C20th, and were eventually purchased in 1979 by the Arkwright Society who have continued to maintain and restore the site. Now grade 1 listed and part of the UNESCO Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage site, it is open as a visitor centre and venue.

Here is the related throw-back shot of a different angle of 9th Avenue over-the-edge damage done by the big flood. The Mill Ditch is across the golf course and spilled anything that floats! I decided to retouch this different take of the flood damage across the golf course to show the results - my last shot of the ditch was at Pella. In fact, the old Mill ditch slithers into Longmont and flows across the other side of the golf course. No irrigation gates were closed even during hours of warning. It comes from Pella Ponds open space, West across the last snap. This damage was not great on the golf course but it was behind me at the housing, storage rentals and Golden Ponds open space park.
And yes, the sTrumpet gave up his ownership of this golf course until it dries out. His time is ticking at Mar-a-lago with 21 day of residency per year allowed. Scum-bye-ya!
This unedited shot sat around since the 2013 flood and I grabbed it for a quick edit and my serious cleanup to follow my recent ditch shot. I posted the belated Elevated rails snap but that was located south of this golf course shot where the irrigation ditch across the grass was never closed and rolled across here and then some housing (behind me) and finally the Golden Ponds rails. This golf course was well flushed clean and watered. This too will be in my edited backups soon as I clean up my new computer back to Windows 7. Cleanup everywhere! Windows, Flotsam, weeds sticks and signs. The flood water must have been over a foot here.
This was in the fall of the year and Longmont is finally finishing the final damage cleanup now. We may finish sometime in this new decade. With insurance, it COULD have been long done... well except for continual insurance payments and except for the standard insurance company rudeness tax that would fall short of repaying the damages (part of their enormous destiny cut). We all had to pay for it (and our normal city work crew salaries) - we are self insured as is Boulder County. But then not a dime went to Wall Street insurance companies and only OUR laborers were paid, though as slow as it was. Lizard tears and Kleenex for Wall Street, here! Let's pray Bernie sends the 80,000 health insurance plus pharmaceutical jobs following in the trail of the buggy whip industry.
This is one of the original ditches dug by the Colony settlers. I assume it was to carry water to the original Denio flour mill on Pratt Street between 2nd and 3rd Avenues. I traced it today on Google maps until it disappeared under western Longmont, just east of here. Longmont gobbled up water rights and converted them to bluegrass. It seemed aimed toward the old mill at today's Old Mill Park. The old image I found of the mill there was well beyond a size that could be driven by water from a mini-ditch alone.

I wasn't sure what to expect heading up there, but I'm certainly glad to drive a Subaru, as the only other vehicles I encountered were Jeeps and ATV's on a gnarly 4x4 access road. The journey was as fun as the destination!

Slingfield Mill was built in 1864 for Thomas Lea, to the design of architects Lockwood and Mawson of Bradford. It was for many years spinning yarn for the carpet industry and after this ended in 1980 the mill has been converted for Debenhams on the lower floors and above as a Premier Inn. The boiler house and chimney nearby are now an Italian restaurant and listed Grade II along with the main mill.

There were so many way I wanted to edit this picture, but I couldn't make up my mind. I started out doing and HDR image with one exposure in Nik HDR Efex Pro. But the brown color of the mill pond bothered me. Then I processed it in black and white with Nik Silver Efex Pro. That still didn't satisfy me. Finally I took the color HDR version, added a little Topaz ReStyle, then converted that to black and white. I hope you enjoy it.
