Anglesey Abbey's Lode Mill dates from the 18th century, but early records, including the 1068 Doomsday Book describe a building on this site. The Lode Mill was restored to full working order in 1982 by the Cambridgeshire Wind and Watermill Society. Today you can step inside and see how the power of water is harnessed to grind tens of tons of flour every year. Freshly ground flour from the Mill and oatmeal are sold by the bag, direct from the Abbey, delicious for bread making or dumplings!

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.

The only stone mill of its kind in Connecticut, the Grist Mill is built of several types of local rocks. The property was bought in 1979 by The Joshua’s Tract Conservation and Historic Trust.
A sawmill was built on this site in 1723 and the grist mill was added around 1750. The latter was replaced in the 1830s by the present mill that continued to operate until 1941. An attached sawmill was destroyed by heavy snow in the early 1950s and the dam was washed out in the winter of 1958-59. It had served for 200 years, and had been repaired and maintained but never modernized. The gristmill itself, constructed of stone, remains in a remarkable state of preservation.
De Onrust is a flour mill in Oude Pekela in the province of Groningen.
The mill was built in 1850 as a corn and hulling mill, only some remnants of the pelwerk remain. The mill has been, since 1956, municipal property first of the municipality of Oude Pekela, since the municipal reorganization of 1990 of the municipality of Pekela. The mill has been restored several times and is regularly operated on a voluntary basis thanks to some voluntary millers, including an instructor from the Guild of Voluntary Millers and her students. The mill used to have self-pressure on a rod, but the 21-meter-long rods are now equipped with the Old Dutch wiek system with sails.
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.
Time doesn't wait for any of us, so finding artefacts in old abandoned buildings is always a bonus!
The label reads 'Brammer V belting' and is from one of the many belts still attached to the belt and cog driven machines in this derelict Tentering Mill/Dyeworks in Somerset.

The Trout Creek waterfall and mill pond at Pickwick Mill is a delightful place tucked among the bluffs along the Mississippi River Valley. Taken March 15, 2020 in Pickwick, MN.
That goofy grin is because I'm thinking about the part in the Art of Courtly Love where the lady turns the guy down because of his fat calves.
Here the mill is surrounded by autumn aspen. This area can only be reached via a rugged 4x4 road out of Marble, Colorado. Despite its remote setting, it's an iconic location that receives many visitors.

I'm back from three days of chasing waterfalls and foliage. The water was running great and the color was incredible - although most of the color is now on the ground instead of on the trees.
I hope to check in with all my friends this week and see what you have been up to.
My ancestor named Corless built a mill at Galgate. A local road and a row of cottages also bear his name. My father was named after him.
The iconic Tide Mill at Woodbridge. This building is a Suffolk landmark and has recently been re-opened following an expensive rennovation.
It was certainly looking good here, gleaming white & reflecting in the water.
This lumber mill was built in 1922 after the original one on the site burned. This saw mill was capable of cutting 125K board feet per day and operated until 1960. It fell into decay and the rubble burned in the early sixties.
The Gambrill Mill (also known as Araby Mill) was built in 1830 by James Marshall and purchased by James H. Gambrill in 1855. Gambrill owned and operated the mill into the 1890s and transformed it into a successful operation despite the disruptions caused by the Battle of Monocacy and subsequent use of the mill as a field hospital. Originally, Gambrill Mill was a three-story merchant flour mill fitted with two pairs of "burr" or flour-milling stones. The mill's inside, undershot water wheel was powered by a millrace fed by nearby Bush Creek. The creek was dammed about a mile from the mill and a sluice gate regulated the amount of water that was allowed to flow into the millrace. Remnants of the tailrace may still be seen at the front of the building. In addition to the flour mill, the complex also included a sawmill, a chopping and plaster mill, a 1 1/2 story miller's house, and a variety of other support structures. In the 1920s, the top story of the mill was removed and the mill race partially filled in to convert the building into a dwelling house.

This former mill which is now used as farm buildings was originally Downham Mill now a Grade II listed building which dates back to 1818 and can be found just off Downham Green Lane and what a pretty little place to come across with lovely gardens and many old features from the mill still to be seen.
Our trip to Humberside included a very interesting visit to Skidby Windmill, where our host Syd (of Sydpix fame on flickr), gave us an informative tour around the mill, followed by tea and walnut cake; cheers Syd, much appreciated!
