The old mill, now a private residence, was a working mill until WWI. It is made up of three parts, the mill itself built across a creek, built in 1800 – 1832, the mill store, built in 1800 – 1832 on brick piers and the oldest part, an attached windmill, built in 1720 – 1740. Barges could be brought up to the mill for transporting the milled goods away around the coast.
The mill operated two ten foot wheels, one set higher than the other to make full use of the stream feed and the tide, which was kept behind tide gates.
The black windmill is a distinctive feature of the landscape, its tarred outer skin resilient to the full force of the coastal weather.
mr and mrs duck - this devoted couple have been here for quite some time now and never go more than a few feet away from each other....
(the weather this week has been changeable, today it's cold but dry with sunshine)
Walking through Mill Wood and along Dean Brook close to the village of Hurst Green, in the Ribble Valley of Lancashire is always a treat with the ever changing colours of the seasons, this capture is in summer and the woods are full of fantastic greens.

And an adjoining prehistoric settlement .
I edited the other shots to remove minor flaws , like dust and scratches , but I like how this looked like an old postcard straight out of the camera.
Trying new things , dusted off my old Kiev 88 medium format film camera ( a Soviet copy of a Hasselblad 1600) from about 1990 and tried out some new (old) lenses on it.
A Zodiac-8 (30mm fisheye lens) , a Volna-3 (80mm standard lens) and a Kalinar-3 (150mm short telephoto ) . Got a few more lenses on the way .
These cameras from the former Soviet union do have a reputation for terrible quality control at the factories , they build the camera , you tweak it to get it working right !
First two roll's of film I put though it are out of date , but sort of came out O.K .......
The black and white film was in a 6x4.5cm back and leaked light from the dark slide slot like a sieve !!!
Replacement parts have arrived from Hasselblad .
The developed film also had unusual scratches on them that need investigating , but overall still usable.
Adjustment is also needed to set it up better for long fast lenses .
Dusted off my old 120 roll film scanner from 2001 and it actually worked on Windows 7 !
Set it up on a "medium" resolution and it churned out a huge 170mb file , compared to the 24mb RAW files from my Sony a900 .
The scan output was set at approx. a 70 megapixel equivalent .
Still looked good but way bigger than needed !

Mormon Mill, Burnet County, Texas
www.tshaonline.org/handbook/entries/mormon-mill-colony
Mormons occupied this spot, now private property located on Hamilton Creek in Burnet County, Texas. Mormons moved through the Texas Hill Country in the late 1840s and moved their lumber and gris mills several times in the Hill Country after they were flooded our of their locations. One of their settlements was near Fredericksburg on the Pedernales River at a place named Zodiac. Zodiac, like Mormon Mill, can no longer be seen, but there are iron stakes and other pieces of equipment on Hamilton Creek at the spot called Mormon Mill.
Here you see Hamilton Creek. Today there is no public access to this place and I am afraid the rock quarries surrounding Hamilton Creek are heavily impacting the water quality of the creek. But I have no idea as I have not been back for years. The creek is on private land and not accessible to the public. In the past, the public was allowed in for a fee which entitled visitors to use the facilities. 35mm slides scanned with digital camera's macro function.

Lantz Mill is located outside of Edinburg in Shenandoah County, Virginia. According to the mill's website, it was originally built around 1813. Burned during the Civil War in 1864, the current structure was rebuilt in 1866. It operated well into the 20th Century, serving as a feed mill in its final years. The mill is being restored by its current owners and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Mill Cottages which in former times were rented to the workers. Now refurbished into office area.
A visit to Lancaster should always include a visit to Rock Mill. Midday sun was glaring, and not a cloud in the sky made for some challenging shots and editing. There were workers at the site, so NO sneaking down to the creek for a shot of the wheel and falls. I did remove some equipment and other distractions from the shots, but left a worker in 1 of the pics. 4 other views in the comments below. Hope to plan a trip when conditions are better.
Originally Barnard’s Mill was built in 1866. In 1918 the mill became a boarding house where meals were cooked for local workers. Since 1994 its become the Grand Old Mill Restaurant. 7514 Barnard Mill Rd. Wonder Lake, Illinois.
With lots of time on my hands at the moment I set out to try and find some wide angle subjects. This was one of them today. Houghton Mill, built in the 17th Century, apparently.

I've been across at Fulwell Mill on the north side of Sunderland this week, documenting the latest stage of a major restoration project which has seen a new set of sails fitted to the historic corn mill. The previous set had been badly damaged some years back during stormy weather.
The early 19th century windmill is a well-known iconic landmark and this latest restoration proect has seen the mill have a new cap fitted, along with sails, made by specialist millwrights and based on the original design.
As the last sail was fitted, one of the team spotted me below taking photographs and held his hands into the air as if saying 'a job well done' (and so it was!).
This shingle mill was within the balloon track at the end of track on the Esquimalt and Nanaimo's Lake Cowichan subdivision. The sawdust burner can be seen in the background at the left and the domed top of the cyclone is visible over the roof of one of the buildings. The mill spur is almost covered with dirt to the right of the balloon track. Photo date August 18, 1982.
Rylands Mill in Wigan, has been named as one of the top ten most endangered buildings in the UK, by the Victorian Society.
The mill, which was built in 1864 for Manchester's first millionaire, John Rylands and soon became the lifeblood of the local community, offering work in the textile industry.
since then it has lain in a state of disrepair, suffering repeated arson attacks, making this piece of local history one of the most 'at risk' buildings in the country.

This old and derelict mill is one of several in the area, and probably the most accessible. I don't often do long exposures, but this was 20 seconds at f/11. The image has certainly brought out the colours that the eye doesn't see in the darkness and gloom!
It looks like this was a kitchen area, with an oven of some sort... who knows!

Wooden replica water wheel mounted on stone supports on Mill Island. Site of original flourmill built in 1859, bronze plaque sits in garden plot on river bank looking onto wheel.
In Holywell, this former mill building, now a Jamaican restaurant. Nice place and it seems to be working well, though it has been through several guises since the original use, as one of several mill buildings from when the town had a huge textile industry.
The restaurant is called 'Up-a-Yard', which, in Patois, means 'Going home', or 'being home'. We've all heard of Yardies.
I've been to the restaurant a few times, and even prepped there. They are building up quite a reputation. Seriously worth considering as an evening out.
New Mills in Derbyshire is a mill town. The rivers Goyt and Sett run in deep gorges below the town.
A weir near to where the two rivers converge and the Church Road bridge in the background.
