Church of St Anne, Buck's Mills Devon,
Although Bible Christianity was established here from its earliest years, there is no indication that there was ever a designated Anglican chapel in the village. Worshippers may have met in their homes or attended a nearby chapel, perhaps the one at Dyke, in Upper Clovelly.
The 1851 religious census records the start of a Wesleyan Methodist revival here yet despite the movement having a considerable impact on the inhabitants they were described in 1852 as possessing ‘very little mental culture, and no moral instruction.’ The two Anglican churches of the parent parishes were also several miles away making the journey difficult for the very young or infirm, particularly in bad weather. (the hamlet straddled the boundary between the parishes of Parkham and West Woolfardisworthy, on the coast of North Devon. The Parkham side of the village marked the western end of the Goldsworthy estate owned by the Pine Coffin family. The western side in Woolfardisworthy parish, was owned by the Elwes family and formed part of the Walland Cary estate).
Plans for building a new Methodist Chapel, in the early 1860s, prompted the local landowner Jane Elwes, to donate land for an Anglican Church with the aim of weaning her tenants away from non-conformity by providing easy access to the established church and St Annes was built between 1869 and 1870, at a time when it became an ecclesiastical parish in its own right
It consists of a simple rectangular nave, chancel, & a bell cote
It now serves as the parish church for the small community and is open to visitors throughout the year. There are regular services and events, such as concerts and exhibitions.

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.

Linton is a village in rural Cambridgeshire, England, on the border with Essex. The River Granta runs through the village.
A mill has been recorded on this site since the 13th century. This mill dates back to the early 18th century and is constructed of painted weather boarding to brick and timber- frame. Slate roofs, mansard to north of left hand range. Two four storey parallel blocks flanking lane connected by catwalk at third floor level. Gantry for sack hoist to left hand range facing west, two ventilation funnels. Various boarded doors at all floor levels, and windows including transomed and mullioned, and mullioned casement windows.
After being enlarged in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the mill was sold in to Linton Milling and Corn Co in 1908. The mill stopped working in 1982 but is still a prominent feature in the Granta Valley.

This old mill in Victoria Road, Chelmsford, was a grade ii listed building and looked quite dilapidated when I photographed it in 1985. It has since been given a new lease of life as the much smarter Riverside Inn. Shot on colour transparency film on a Bronica ETRS rollfilm SLR camera.

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!).
It's wet, windy and pretty unpleasant here this morning, so I thought I'd post a shot from a few days ago when the sun shone. It had been very wet in the morning as you can probably see from the lane leading up to the mill, which was like a shallow stream in places. There has been a mill on this site since the 18th century, but the old mill was stripped down and has been lovingly and painstakingly restored over the past 30 years or so by a group of volunteers. How immensely satisfying it must have been to see the sweeps (as they're known in Sussex) turn again after all that time.
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.
Yates Cider Mill is located in Rochester Hills, MI, and traces its roots back to 1863 when it was known as Yates Grist Mill. In order for the mill to utilize water power, the Yates Dam was built. The Yates Mill became the Yates Cider Mill in 1876 when a cider press was installed into the existing water powered process and the Mill began producing apple cider. Custom apple pressing was done for local farmers, orchard owners and landowners who brought their apples to the Mill. www.rochestershutterbug.com/Rochester-Michigan/i-XxHQRV6/A

60079 passes Woodhouse Mill with 6E79 1500 Wolverhampton to Rotherham Steel Terminal, 21st July 2014.
North of Cincinnati there is the abandoned Harding-Jones Paper Mill that sits just off the main road in town. It was constructed in 1865 over a winery and many say it is haunted. Even local Channel 12 news, along with paranormal investigators Tri-Ops, investigated the place, getting several instances of odd behavior and noises.
It's a large place and took us about three hours to cover most of it. This shot is in the lower section of the mill, seemingly older looking at the architecture. We didn't hear anything peculiar on this day, but we did find some creepy dark corners and passages for sure.

Old mill at Berry College in Rome, GA
From: www.berry.edu/vtour/html/mountain/oldmill.html
Constructed in 1930, the Old Mill boasts an iron hub which had originally been of service at Hermitage, an early manufacturing community near the Shannon village between Rome and Calhoun, Georgia, and was a gift to Berry from The Republic Mining (bauxite) and Manufacturing Company.
The wooden overshot waterwheel, considered one of the largest in the world at 42 feet in diameter, was constructed by student workers. For many years, the mill was operated by Mr. Green Berry Goodson, a white-bearded miller who ground Berry-grown corn into meal and grits. Water is piped directly from Berry's reservoir lake to the wheel. Once primed, the force of gravity is strong enough to push the water up the stone column, and over the wheel, causing it to turn.
The observation deck at the Mill City Museum. The mill ceased operation in 1965 and the museum created in 1991. The Gold Medal Flour sign has been refurbished and again lights up the nighttime sky.
Rakes Mill pond is located directly off the Blue Ridge Parkway about 15 miles north of Mabry Mill in Virginia.
I'm running behind and will catch up tonight after work!
Gayle Mill, constructed in 1776, is now a Grade II* listed building, a scheduled monument and came third in the BBC's 2004 Restoration contest. Originally a cotton-spinning mill it was converted to a sawmill in 1878. It is the oldest structurally unaltered cotton mill in existence, and its Thomson Double-Vortex turbine built by Williamson's of Kendal in 1878 is believed to be the world's oldest surviving water turbine still in its original situation. The mill has been restored and is now open to the public.
Gayle is a hamlet sited a mile south of Hawes in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire. It was originally a farming settlement but the population grew during the late 18th century to around 350 with employment in local quarries, coal-mining in Sleddale and in this water-driven cotton mill on Gayle Beck. The population of the village later contracted.

You may be thinking you just saw this exact same photo on chaybert's stream, and are wondering what's up? Well, no I didn't steal this from him. And no, I'm pretty sure he didn't steal it from me either. There is essentially only one viewpoint of Mill Creek Falls for taking photos. So we both took our photos from exactly the same location. Plus, we have the same camera, same lens, and it was of course the same day, and almost the exact same time as well. Nonetheless, Mill Creek Falls is a rather pretty waterfall, formed as two creeks join together at the brink and drop 69 ft.

Slate dressing area of Australia Mill. No trimming machines were installed here, all the slate was dressed by hand after being cut in the adjacent saw mill.
I hopped up to the Blue Ridge Parkway this morning at Rocky Knob to get my nerves up for a 10 mile hike later this month. The Rhododendron in this area is prolific but looks to be about 3-4 weeks from bloom. Since the temps were so warm, figured Mabry Mill would be crowded... but hardly a soul :-D
Clouds were cooperative, so it was a good day!

My first trip into London on the Central line(apart from going to Stratford to get my first Covid jab) for more than a year.
Walked round the canals from Mile End down to the Thames and then up the Limehouse cut to Stratford.
Three Mill is a tidal mill on the Lea.
