A view of Neilston's Crofthead Mill from the field across Holehouse Brae. Built in 1891, it closed in 1992.
It might look run down and dilapidated but it's still a base for the area's main employer and some small businesses.
My history day continued a short drive up the road from Excelsior Springs where I found this old 19th Century Textile Mill. This three-story woolen mill is the only 19th century textile mill in the country that has its original machinery intact. The Mill was constructed in 1860 of brick handmade at the site, and supported by timbers cut from the owner's land. The Historical Site is located within Watkins Mill State Park near Lawson, MO.
Additional information about the Mill can be found at: mostateparks.com/page/55164/watkins-woolen-mill. Added to the Register of Historic Places in 1966.
All grouted, but boy does it need lots of clean up. I can't believe how much glue I have to scrape off!

Salts Mill (sometimes spelled Salt's Mill) is a former textile mill, now an art gallery, shopping centre, and restaurant complex in Saltaire. It was the first building to be complete in 1853.
When Salts Mill opened in 1853, it was the biggest factory in the world. 3000 workers toiled away at 1200 looms, producing 30,000 yards of cloth every single day.
It was located beside the Leeds & Liverpool Canal which provided him with connections to the ports of Liverpool and Hull. The large loading doors in the middle of Salt's Mill facing the canal show how important the canal was the location of Saltaire.
This huge Mill was the key to Sir Titus Salt's vision to relocate all his textile mills from the city of Bradford to a healthier purpose-built site, along with a surrounding village where his workers could enjoy a good quality of life.
Saltaire is a Victorian model village. The Victorian era Salt's Mill and associated residential district located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Saltaire was built in 1851 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname and the name of the river.

Time doesn't wait for any of us, so finding artefacts in old abandoned buildings is always a bonus!
The label reads 'Brammer V belting' and is from one of the many belts still attached to the belt and cog driven machines in this derelict Tentering Mill/Dyeworks in Somerset.

Another shot I took to test the light and my camera settings. I really can't express how magical this place felt.

Wansbrough Paper Mill in Watchet closed on Christmas Eve, 170 people have lost their jobs.
The mill has been operating for around 250 years.
This is the mill of Hurricane Mills. Today, this area is much better known as being part of the Loretta Lynn Dude Ranch, one of the most popular tourist attractions in the state.
This mill, and other historic spots nearby are on the National Register of Historic Places listed as the "Hurricane Mills Rural Historic District." According to a plaque across the river from the mill, this mill and dam were built by James T. Anderson in 1896. "Though wool was carded here, grain processing predominated, corn meal and flour were shipped through the south."
In the mid 60's, Loretta and Mooney Lynn purchased the 1876 mansion across the street from the river. Over the next few years, they preserved many of the nearby buildings and commercially opened the area as the dude ranch. Today, you can take a tour of the area, or just walk around some of the places, like I did. The mill's water wheel was removed and placed nearby.
Today, the mill serves two purposes. First, it is one of three gift shops on the ranch. Second, it is opened as the "Loretta Lynn Doll and Fan Museum"
Unfortunately, the Middle Tennessee May 2010 floods were not kind to Hurricane Mills. Just a few feet downstream from the mill (and would have been viewable in this picture), there was an iron bridge built in 1911 that used to carry highway TN13 (but had been replaced by a newer bridge) was completely washed away. I can't find any confirmation of this, but I suspect the mill suffered much damage as well as it looks like the exterior is almost completely rebuilt with new wood in 2010. (If you find any pre-flood picture, the mill is painted a deep red, and my 2010 photo looks like all new wood then. In this 2020 photo, the wood shows 10 years of age.)
Hello to anyone who found my photo here:
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.
This is Compton's Mill in Elk Lick Township, Somerset County, Pennsylvania. The mill was built in 1872 and operated by Samuel Compton. The headrace for the mill comes from the Tub Mill Run. It ran as an active flour mill until 1941.

This old mill building is in the middle of nowhere beside a river. I need to do some homework to find out more about its history, but my guess is that it used to be a flax mill.
Robert Owen (1771 – 1858) was a Welsh textile manufacturer, philanthropist and social reformer, and a founder of utopian socialism and the cooperative movement. He is known among other things for efforts to improve his factory's working conditions, promoting experimental socialistic communities, and proposing a more collective approach to child rearing, including government control of education
He became wealthy in the early 1800s as an investor and eventual manager of the textile mill at New Lanark, Scotland,now restored as a museum and heritage centre,

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. It was operated for many years by Dr. Julian Belmont Woodson, a medical doctor and five term State Senator representing Amherst and Nelson Counties. It became known as "Woodson's Mill" and the name was retained by its current owner and operator, J. Gill Brockenbrough, Jr. He purchased the mill in 1983 and restored it to its current state.

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.
