I coundn't resist having a play with hdr with my mill shots from How Hill. This photo was the perfect candidate as it was a bit flat before the conversion, now I really like it.

Red Mill Burgers, Interbay, Seattle. Established 1998.
Red Mill takes its name from an older Seattle restaurant, which operated between 1937 and 1967. The two sisters of the owner of the present Red Mill had worked at the original - and brought home food for the family - so the name was chosen as a tribute.
Taken with my 35mm Canon Rebel several years ago. I was driving down the road in North Georgia and saw this beautiful old mill. There was a man working in the yard so I just pulled in his driveway to ask if he minded me taking a few shots.....he said "have at it" and after I was finished he invited me in for coffee and cookies!! We talked for over an hour..... Its nice to know there are still some good people out there!!

This waterway was diverted from the Little Miami River to power the mill. The overshot waterwheel in the center background was added for the visitors to see.
The Stover Myers Mill is a watermill located on the Tohickon Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The mill was built by Jacob Stover around 1800 and operated continuously until 1955. It used a millstone to grind flour and feed for livestock using power from a waterwheel. The mill was equipped with an up-and-down saw and also operated as a lumber mill. The property was purchased by Bucks County in 1967 and is open to the public.
This photo was taken from the bank of the stream created by the natural spring. This water drove the mill for many years, and yes I did accidentally stick my right foot in the water thinking there was solid ground under the foliage at the waters edge. I got to spend the rest of the time slopping around in a very cold, and wet shoe.

The Crystal Mill situated on the Crystal River outside of Marble, Colorado is certainly a sight to behold. You will not be disappointed...provided of course you survive the bone jarring 4x4 drive to get to it. This late 1800's powerhouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
If it were a perfect world, I would gladly leave my normally unobtrusive watermark off in a corner. But sadly, it is not. And so I am forced to now place it front & center to discourage dishonest people from image theft and cropping watermarks. My apologies to image loving fans everywhere...I trust you will understand. Help fight this by reporting such abuses immediately!
A really interesting location in Valdese, NC. Mcgalliard Falls is just over those rocks in the middle of the frame. Meytre Grist Mill is an old mill that was operational in the early 1900's and now stands accompanying the city park that surrounds these falls.
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.
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.

Springfield Mill in Sandiacre was built in 1888 as a lace factory for Terah Hooley, a wealthy local industrialist, by architect John Sheldon of Long Eaton. The total capacity of the factory was originally 160 machines. It has now been converted to apartments and is listed Grade II.
A rare whiting windmill, probably built around 1812 and now listed Grade II. The mill, which originally had five sails, was designed to crush chalk from the nearby quarry as part of the production of whiting.
Whiting - used as a filler in putty, paint and whitewash - was produced in the now demolished whiting works which once adjoined the tower. The remains of this operation can be seen inside the base of the mill’s tower. This includes the wooden crushing tub and vertical edge runner stones that once ground down the chalk, as well the later concrete crushing tub and 6ft millstones that were powered by an electric motor. Four of the mill's original seven floors remain.

This old mill (which is directly behind me) and the covered bridge are a piece of history located just outside of Childersburg, AL. I stopped here in early January and didn't get any shots that I liked other than this one. Once again, the ole 10-20mm lens hooked me up with a cool perspective that I couldn't have gotten otherwise.
Boott Cotton Mills opened in 1835, and in its heyday swarmed with activity. Thousands of mechanical looms filled its long corridors, and the complex was packed with workers churning out millions of yards of textiles a year. Many of the employees, thanks to another innovation by the founders, were women. Some were children. Factory bosses recruited from the farms of New England to persuade young women to move to town and live in boarding houses near the factories. In fact, women working the mills fought some of the country's early labor and equal rights battles as they organized against 12- to 14-hour days and poor conditions.
The textile industry rolled along, and Boott operated for 120 years. When the industry tanked after World War II, so went Lowell's factories, sending the city into a rough period of unemployment and crime.
USS SW9 1248 switches the Granite City works in Granite City, IL. With this plant coming in and out of closure within the past few years, it was nice to catch this out in the open before it reversed back into the mill.
This is a glimpse of the stonework inside the old sugar mill ruins at Sugar Mill Gardens in Port Orange, Florida. The gardens are now condensed down to 12 acres, with most of the area being filled with the natural beauty of Florida, and some cultivated plants and flowers, but the original purpose of the land was to be a sugar mill.
This land has gone through many changes. Used as a sugar mill from the early 1800's, the mill was destroyed a couple of times during the 2nd and third Seminole Indian Wars, burned to the ground. It passed through several hands, and eventually, as early as 1939, became a tourist attraction of its day known as Bongoland. Bongoland had a miniature train ride through the park, and Dr. Manny Lawrence, a sculptor, was commissioned to create numerous cement sculptures of dinosaurs and a giant ground sloth, only five of which still remain. The park got its name from a caged baboon named Bongo that lived on the premises.
In 1985, the land was turned into Sugar Mill Gardens, and though an historic site, with the sugar mill ruins and artifacts under state protection, its garden areas are maintained by volunteer master gardeners. Several years ago, this part of the ruins, where the building structure with the large pots used to produce the molasses remains, was covered by a steel roof to protect it from the elements.
