The mill, which is mentioned in the Domesday book, has had many incarnations. As a linen mill it processed flax and supplied canvas to the Royal Navy but when industry declined it was developed into a foundry with a blast furnace and was one of the first places to make the new threshing machines in the West of England. It went on to build boilers, steam lorries and gas engines as well as gaining a reputation as a builder of water wheels. During the First World War Mills Bombs, better know as the hand grenade, were produced here in vast quantities. After the Gasper dam burst upriver in the summer of 1917, much of the machinery was washed from the factory and it took a number of years for industry to restart on the site. When it did return in 1933 the factory entered its final phase as a dried milk processing plant and this continued up until its closure in 1998. It is now derelict with many of the oldest buildings in a state of collapse.
If you wait long enough, it all comes around again. After many years of no through service, we now have a Manchester - York service via Wakefield Kirkgate. After many years of closure, Healey Mills yard is coming back to life as a depot for LNER during the trans-pennine upgrade.
In the shadow of Mount Pleasant,..., is Woodson's Mill, located near Lowesville, Virginia in Nelson County, is a working water powered grist mill that dates back to the late 1700's.

Located in the community of Bunker Hill in Berkeley County, West Virginia, the Bunker Hill Mill was built around 1800 and operated until 1963. Today it is a point of interest on the Washington Heritage Trail, which travels through the three counties in West Virginia's Eastern Panhandle. The trail's website indicates that the first mill built on the site dates to 1738. The water wheel is out of view on the left side of the building.
Image Description: "Another bit of natural charm on the trip. Mill Creek is a tributary of Rogue River."

The Powder Mills were built in 1844, a factory for making gunpowder which was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor. The buildings were widely spaced from one another for safety and the mechanical power for grinding ("incorporating") the powder was derived from waterwheels driven by a leat.
Now known as "Powdermills" or "Powder Mills", there are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built incorporating mills with central waterwheels survive well: they were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards. The ruins of a number of ancillary buildings also survive. A proving mortar—a type of small cannon used to gauge the strength of the gunpowder—used by the factory still lies by the side of the road.

Plainwell is a small city in southwest Michigan between Kalamazoo and Grand Rapids. This fine old mill with a bright red roof sits along the rail line, now operated by the Grand Elk Railroad. I took this photo on September 25, 2015 when Marsha and I stopped for ice cream on our way to Saugatuck.

The No.3 Mill in the Belgrave complex was built to the design of F. W. Dixon and Son in 1910. It was electrically powered from the start.Spinning ceased in 1960 after which it has been used for clothing production and later for the manufacture of foam, polyester and feathers for the furniture and clothing industries.

It's based on the Australian Paper Manufacturers mill on Heidelberg Road, Fairfield/Alphington (Victoria, Australia), as it looked in 1972. The paper mill was serviced by a rail siding that ran diagonally through a major road intersection. Coal trains ran every weekday, and twice on Saturday, and often held up traffic. Coal wagons were emptied at the mill by a tippler.
This mill was Victoria’s first paper mill but is now closed, and the site looks set to be developed in the near future (it's a huge site, only 7 kms from the CBD, and it backs onto the Yarra river!).

The odd retailer Mill End, which billed itself as the "World's Most Unusual Store,"closed in (I believe) 2006 and the building was razed in 2012.
Shortly after some modern lofts and commercial development was built on the site and the Mill End name (and original sign) was kept.
This cotton spinning mill at Hathershaw, Oldham, was originally built in 1860 and then rebuilt 1891 to the design of architect PS Stott. Production ceased in 1933 and the mill was used as an army barracks and then a demobilisation centre before becoming a mail order warehouse in 1953. It is now converted to business units.

White's Mill, Washington County, Abingdon, Virginia
This is an image I captured on 18th Dec 2014.
White's Mill is a historic grist mill located near Abingdon, Washington County, Virginia. It dates to the mid-19th century, and is a frame two-story structure resting on a down slope basement with a full attic sheltered by a gable roof. It has a Fitz waterwheel and great gear wheel, buhr runs, roller mills, elevators and bolting machinery. Associated with the mill are the contributing earthen race which feeds directly into the wooden race and onto the wheel and an early coursed rubble limestone dam. The mill remains in working condition.
