Met up with a group of friends down at Lumsdale to get some photos, then we moved on to Richard Arkwrights Mill, a fascinating place and well worth a visit.
The Australian Paper Mills Co. (APM) was established in 1895, originally located on the site of what is now Southbank. The company expanded, with its main mills in Melbourne and Geelong. In August 1918 land for a new board mill was purchased in Fairfield, comprising 23 acres (9.3 hectares), which had the advantages of river frontage and proximity to the railway line.2 The site, previously a part of the Woodlands Estate, cost £14,800. Construction on the building began in 1919, taking two years and using 1,200,000 bricks.-5 The building was opened by the Chief Justice of Victoria, Sir William Irvine, on 31 August 1921.
The General Manager of APM, Robert Gray, travelled to America to purchase equipment for the new factory, which was able to manufacture paperboard of 244cm in width at a speed of 150 feet (460 metres) a minute. The completed factory manufactured container board, ticket board, manila, chip board and varieties of woodpulp board.4
The Boiler House—built to contain boilers and turbines—was constructed in 1954. The building was designed by Mussen, Mackay & Potter: Mackay was the architect, whilst Mussen and Potter were the engineers. Norman Mussen was the son of Gerald Mussen, a financial journalist and a consultant to Amalgamated Zinc (De Bavays) Ltd (AZ Ltd), who was involved in APM's moves to establish eucalyptus plantations for pulp in Tasmania in the 1930s.
The curtain walling cladding the five-storey building is one of the earliest examples of the technique known in Victoria. The earliest buildings incorporating curtain walling were the Cheseborough building in Clayton (Hugh Peck & Associates; 1953), which had a curtain walled staircase; the Shell Refinery, Corio (Buchan Laird & Buchan; 1953), which had a two-storey curtain wall; Wilson Hall at the University of Melbourne (Bates Smart & McCutcheon; 1953); the administration block for Kirstall-Repco at Clayton (Hassell & McConnell; 1954); and the Coring Implements factory (Frank Heath; 1954).
Significance
The Australian Paper Mills Boiler House is of state technological and architectural significance.
The building employs one of earliest known examples of curtain walling in Melbourne, and is distinguished by the extent of the curtain walling, which is equivalent in height to a four or five storey building.
A weaving mill, now converted to house Stroud district council.
You can imagine the amount of council tax that needs to incinerated to keep the place warm for our dear public servants.
Restored mill at Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, County Clare, Ireland.
View large.
For more info click here: The Folk Park adjoins the castle and aims to show what everyday life was like in rural Ireland about 100 years ago. It contains reconstructed farmhouses, cottages and shops, and care has been taken to make them as authentic as possible, particularly with regard to furnishings.
The Park is a living museum : animals are tended, bread is baked, milk is churned, walls are whitewashed and roofs are thatched. You may visit an Irish farmhouse, watch the blacksmith fit a horseshoe, attend a weaving demonstration, and bake and eat scones at the local tea house.
Completed in 1886 for Christian Koch, the Tower Mill in Dukinfield was designed by Potts, Pickup & Dixon. It had a capacity of 44,000 mule spindles and 5,000 twiner spindles. On Koch's death in 1895 the mill passed to The River & Tower Mills Co (Ltd in c1912). Ring spinning was introduced from 1930 and the mill ended cotton spinning in 1955 by when it contained 13,000 mule spindles and 24,000 ring spindles. It has had a range of uses since then and is currently empty and for sale.
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.
A buddy of mine was asking if I had any thoughts about how to mill flutes and have the cut start or stop with a nice tapered end. I had the idea of rigging up some kind of cam to ramp the cutter into and/or out of the cut. I just did a little experiment using a tilt table as my cam. It works!!!
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.
The buildings look even more grim on a dull day!
North Mill was built in 1803 to replace the earlier mill which was destroyed by fire. The red brick building just visible behind is East Mill built in 1912
This ancient watermill, set in the artisan quarter of Lyme Regis, was rescued from dereliction by local volunteers, through a ten-year restoration project. Today, the story of The Town Mill is recounted by volunteer millers and illustrates the history of England and its people.

After mucking about with the astrotracker and the 300mm I needed a bit of breathing room. Enter the 10-20mm.
The side of Klepzig Mill, which was built in 1912. The mill sits in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways in southern Missouri.
Littons Mill, switched out in the early evening with the gates secured across the road and signals cleared.
The signals are now history.
Times are a changing at Warrington.
Over a distance of just 68 chains (0.85 of a mile) from Arpley Junction to Monks Sidings four signal boxes controlled trains on the Low Level line from Arpley Junction to Ditton East Junction.
Four absolute block boxes, Arpley Junction, Crosfields Crossing, Littons Mill and Monks Siding provided a taste of railways of old. Leaving Arpley Junction the line passes under the WCML and Warrington Bank Quay station before emerging surrounded by industry in the midst of Lever Brothers massive soap powder works. Crosfields Crossing is just 726 yards from Arpley but then only a further 220 yards, an eighth of a mile no less, is Littons Mill, another crossing box, a further 550 yards beyond that is Monks Crossing, again a crossing box and once access to a former British Steel works site.
This short section of track is to be re-signalled and this is actually happening this week. The new signalling will utilise track circuit block between Arpley Junction and Littons Mill using axle counters.
This is a series of photos aimed at recording the signalling of this section of track which has now passed into history.
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.
After checking out some photos from NateVenture's stream, I decided to try out a roll of Fuji Reala. Besides, it was a while since I shot with my 35mm Minolta.
This was during another foggy morning in the city of Brighton, Michigan, at Mill Pond. Hoping for the sun to pop through, I was only greeted with an overcast gray. The only color that morning was from the city lights themselves, barely illuminating the nearby fog.
This also marks my first upload with my Minolta Speed Scan.

Mills Tower is a good example of the second generation utilitarian support structures the Illinois Central built between the 1880s and 1930s to control traffic along their lines. Mills Tower is the only interlocking tower left in Iowa, out of nearly seventy in operation at various times and places.
