The interior of Mill Green signal box on the outskirts of Spalding, showing the 21 lever Saxby & Farmer Duplex frame and gate wheel for the adjacent crossing. The box was on the GN & GE Joint Railway had opened in 1882 and had probably contained a Stevens frame when first opened. The Saxby & Farmer frame was secondhand in 1931 and had been installed when an Up Goods Loop and an Down Goods line from Spalding No.2 had been brought into use. The Down Goods line was taken out-of-use in July 1973 and the Up goods Loop was abolished on 17th October 1982.
The other of the pair of ERF EC11 and bulker trailers used to shunt wheat between the quayside and storage silo that I happened across when they were working at Chancelot Mill, Leith Docks.
Somehow I managed to blag my way around the yard at Heally Mills one Sunday morning. I was given an orange flack vest and told to be careful.
Regrettably these were the last pictures taken on my old Ixus as the quality had clearly dissapeared. That being said at least I have a collection of pictures taken in what was by this time nothing opther than a graveyard. It was sad to sse the 56's lined up, rotting away and awaiting their fate.
This picture was taken from inside one of the cabins looking out at 56068.

Call it a fantasy mill, in Babcock State Park, above the New River in West Virginia. The mill's not the reason we vacation at Babcock, but it's the main attraction for many visitors.
There are a couple standard views of this building, taken by thousands of photographers (certainly including me); this isn't one of those. But it's photogenic from this angle as well.
Most of the apparent distortion in this photo's actually in the building, which isn't squared off.

Hyde's Mill is a favorite attraction in Ridgeway, Wisconsin. It was built in 1850. Today the mill is no longer in operation and efforts are underway to raise capital to refurbish and turn into an education center. The wooden water wheel which operates a stone dam makes this unique and a famous attraction for artist trying to capture a piece of history.
Shaddon Mill was built for spinning cotton by Peter Dixon & Sons in 1836. The Chimney was 305ft high when first built making it the 8th tallest chimney in the world!
Dixon's Chimney and Shaddon Mill was built in Shaddongate, Carlisle, Cumbria, England, by Peter Dixon in 1836. The architect Richard Tattersall was from Manchester.
Shaddon Mill was a cotton factory, the chimney of which became famous due to its height. The chimney was built to be tall enough to prevent the large amounts of smoke generated by the factory becoming noxious to the rest of the city. In its day Shaddon Mill was the largest cotton mill in England and had the 8th largest chimney in the world.
Shaddon Mill became listed in 1949 and the chimney was listed in 1972. Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. provided work for 8000 people in their four mills in the area.
In 1883 Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. went into liquidation and the mill was taken over by Robert Todd and Sons Ltd., who then used the mill for wool production rather than cotton.
Dixon's Chimney, being such a popular and historic structure in Carlisle, was restored by Carlisle City Council in 1999. Originally it was 305 ft tall, but in 1950 it was shortened to 290 ft. The internal diameter of the chimney remains 17 ft 6 in and 10 ft walls at the base.
In 2005 part of the mill was converted into apartments by Story Homes and the other part is used by the University of Cumbria

So, I'm on my way home from work and I decide that it might be a great time to stop by Cochran Mill Park. The sky was overcast (perfect for my photographic tastes) and being early afternoon I figured that I would probably be by myself (wrong). As I arrived I noticed two young ladies starting down the trail and I gave a friendly hello. Not much of a friendly hello in return - oh well.
After reaching the falls, I decided that I needed to cross the creek and try to get some shots. Well, that was an adventure with my backpack, tripod, slippery rocks and me with the grace of a water buffalo. The crossing did provide some entertainment value to the aforementioned young ladies though!
So, arriving a little wet and somewhat muddy I set up and took a few shots, moved around took a few more shots - I swear, I moved as though I had two left feet…slipping and stumbling, dropping lens caps, It was rough!
After getting some shots and making a fool of myself, I decided to leave the area. I hiked along a short trail that I hadn't been on in a few years - no entertainment value here, pretty uneventful and that’s good, but there was nobody around to appreciate it.
Anyway, after circling around and winding my way to the top of the hill above the waterfall, I decided to just sit down and take it all in (mostly rest and try to remove some of the mud off of my pants). It was at this point that I noticed that the two young ladies down below (I guess they didn't see me) were sharing a "cigarette". Hmmm that was some funny smelling "tobacco"! Their way of enjoying nature I suppose.
After a while as I was making my way down the trail I came up with this "brilliant" idea of extending one of the legs on my tripod and using it like a walking stick. See where I'm going with this? The young ladies smoking the funny smelling “cigarette” in this story are really a diversion and have nothing to do with the rest of the story at all. Don't you just hate that?
Back to the so-called brilliant idea; with the assistance of my tripod walking stick, I crossed back over the creek which again provided quite the show but by this time I had no audience (the young ladies had left) thank goodness. As I was scrambling up the opposite bank I stuck my single extended tripod leg into the ground to brace myself and it just sank into the soft sandy bank all the way up to the first joint. “No worries” I thought as I pulled it straight back out. “Whew dodged a bullet there”, I thought, "I could have snapped the leg right off”! Just then is when I noticed that the bottom cap was missing from the leg and was about 18 inches somewhere down in the ground. Should I try to order another one from Bogen/Manfrotto, could I make my own, should I do without, or should I try to find this one…hmm, I’m cheap. So, I hiked back up to my vehicle put my gear inside and retrieved my handy “US ARMY” shovel – You know, the kind that fold up real small. I went back down to the creek bank and after about 10 minutes of digging a fairly nice foxhole, if I do say so myself, I finally found the little bugger! By this time I’m REALLY thankful nobody is around. I was quite the sight standing there all muddy carrying a little Army shovel and a small black plastic tripod leg cap thingy and wondering to myself if it was really worth the trouble! It was.
So, there it is, not quite a thousand words but I hope you like the photo anyway!

This historical street is lucky to have escaped the ravages of Warwick's Great Fire of 1694. At the bottom of it can be found the beautiful Mill Garden and a stunning perspective of the Castle.

The latest in a long line of these massive red bricked cotton mills to fall into disuse is Warwick Mill in Middleton.
After missing out on the last few of these monstrous buildings to quickly closed and be levelled without trace (thereby destroying some of the few assets the utterly awful area has left) myself and Dweeb were keen to make sure we saw this one before it 'accidentally' has a fire or some such mishap.
Luckily for us getting in wasn't too tricky. Once in however it became apparent it wasn't so easy to find our way around. the building is both spilt up into different units inside and the roof top phone masts mean access to all but the ground floor was locked and alarmed.. Cue several visits and a lot of climbing and running around trying to see as much as we could before anyone turned up..
As you can see we made it to the roof in the end tho. Got a nice little collection of these tower photos now.
These worn millstones where placed here and covered in earth to create a blast mound adjacent to the Steam Incorporating Mills.
