Hawks Mill is just upriver in Needham Market. There has been a mill on this site since Domesday. The present building dates from 1884 and is now converted to nine flats for residential use. It overlooks the spill from the millstream (where I found the crocolog!), and the road turns sharp left and you drive over a humpbacked bridge to get to the village.

No switching activity late Friday afternoon at the mill, but the birds are still active.

Halfstock percussion sporting rifle made by Benjamin Mills, Harrodsburg, Kentucky. Mills was born in Palmyra, New York, February 10, 1810. Mills was working in Toronto, Canada, during the 1830's. It was there that he adopted the somewhat unusual "saw handle wrist" architecture that is seen on this rifle. He was located in Harrodsburg, Kentucky, by 1842. Mills was appointed Master Armorer at the Harpers Ferry Arsenal, in Virginia, October 19, 1858. He was still acting in that capacity when abolitionist insurgent, John Brown, made his raid on the arsenal on October 17, 1859. Mills was among those taken captive by Brown. The 1860 census lists Mills back in Harrodsburg, as a gunmaker. He was known far and wide for sporting and target rifles of superior quality and accuracy. Mills contiued in business in Harrodsburg until about 1870, when he mosed to Lexington. He later returned to Harrodsburg, and died there in 1888.

Went through some old pics and decided to post this for documentation purposes. They are by no means here for photographic purposes as they were taken years ago with a point and shoot. Before I had any interest in photography.

This cotton-weaving mill was started 1855 by Samuel Turner. He and his three sons, John, Samuel II and Robert traded as Turner Bros and diversified into the manufacture of cotton packings for valves and glands. In 1879 they started spinning and weaving asbestos which by then was being imported from Canada and proved a better material for packings. By 1900 they were making asbestos yarns, cloth, and hair belting as well as packings. In 1920 they formed a new copmany Turner & Newall with the Washington Chemical Co. in County Durham, Newall's Insulation Co. and J. W. Roberts of Leeds. In 1925 they acquired Ferodo of Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire, manufacturers of brake linings. At one time this was the largest asbestos factory in the world, equipped with modern asbestos carding, spinning and doubling machines and looms, plaiting machines.

 

Subsequent legislation against asbestos due to its disastrous effect on health of workers and anyone coming into contact with its fibres has seen the industry collapse and the lodging of massive compensation claims. Large sections of the mill have been demolished although some parts remain in other industrial use.

Construction of the Pear Mill in Bredbury, Stockport, commenced in 1908 and it was finally completed in 1913 after significant financial difficulties. The mill was designed by Abraham Stott junior and his brother, Philip Sidney, was responsible for the finishing stages, including the office building. It incorporates a lot of terracotta decoration including numerous pear motifs. This is one of a number of pears adorning the enginehouse and chimney.

This is an old fashioned saw mill in Nova Scotia, and is a great example of how important water-power was to industrial Canada...still is come to think about it.

Mill Fork once housed a small town surrounding two sawmills and a bank of charcoal ovens. Now there is nothing left as the Roper to Helper manifest freight train passes by. 11 August 2023.

Coxes Mill and lock, on the River Wey near Addlestone in Surrey. Built in 1776 and rebuilt in 1906, it remained in use until 1983. It was subsequently turned over to residential use. This view of the Grade II listed building was taken in August 1985, before it's conversion into flats.

This silk mill in Macclesfield remained in operation until the early 80's. Remarkably they were still using Jacquard hand looms up to the end, so that they could honestly say that items were hand made. Macclesfield was once famous for its silk industry.

Paradise Mill is open to the public on guided tours. Next door is a museum of the silk industry.

The area known as Midway Mills, near the James River, was the first settled area (1774) of what is now Nelson County, Virginia (having been Goochland, Albemarle and then Amherst County). Sometime in the early 20th or perhaps late 19th century, quarrying began in the area, producing sandstone for building purposes (flagstone). I located part of what exists—down some dirt back roads of Nelson County. The mining community had its own post office and store. Apparently there are few signs of the mining area or community still existent. This was the old store—my informant said the trash can had been in the building for several years. Recently added, after the fact, to Explore for May 16, 2012 at #366--I'm grateful for Explore but I just don't understand why this photo.

The Lonaconing Silk Mill (Lonaconing, MD), also known as the Klotz Throwing Company, is the last intact silk mill in the United States.

Worst "waterfall sun" I have ever dealt with here! It was directly over the falls. But this is a welcome "haven" for suffering low-water waterfall people this was definitely better than nothing.

 

This is one of two falls I know of in central/western New York that will always have some watr when other waterfalls are almost dry. The other being Holley Canal Falls.
