This is Dunn Mill near Meridian, Mississippi. There is a lot of history here, but to limit it to one comment, this is where John Stetson learned to make hats.

Healey Mills - How it used to be!
The height of the "blue" era with Class 31s 31196 (IM), 31225 (FP) and 31108 (FP) taking a weekend rest. Two unidentified shunters are also visible.
It was always easy to walk down the side of the yard and see what was on shed - the downside being that the sun was directly in front making photography from this angle poor.
Also on shed that day were 31242, 40169, 40073, 40199, 40051, 37098, 37192, 40036, 37096, 37101, 47308, 25065, 47049 and 40044. Passing on ballast train was 40039

The Hendricks/Apex Mill, originally constructed in 1918, was a part of the gold rush that built Bannack’s economy. At this mill, miners extracted gold from ore using cyanide solutions, which was a common practice during the 19th century gold rush. As one of only two intact mills open to the public in Montana, the Hendricks/Apex mill is a very important relic of the state’s industrial past. MHF assisted in the preservation of this building by providing grant money to Bannack State Park for the reconstruction of the mill’s roof. constructed in 1918
Heckington Windmill - the only 8-sailed mill in Western Europe. Ascent is by almost vertical ladder-staircases, in five levels, as my aching legs still testify. Bit nerve-racking, actually, especially the descent, but I bet those Jolly Millers (the Pocklington family) nipped up and down like nobody's business
Mill Street, as viewed from Warwick Castle. Many old buildings remain, having escaped the town's fire of 1694.
After mucking about with the astrotracker and the 300mm I needed a bit of breathing room. Enter the 10-20mm.

"Mill Ruins Park is located on the west bank of the Mississippi River in downtown Minneapolis and is adjacent to St. Anthony Falls and the Stone Arch Bridge. As the centerpiece of the revitalization of Minneapolis' historic West Side Milling District, Mill Ruins Park combines an exploration of the history of Minneapolis with present day activities for all ages.
In its 19th-century heyday, this area of mills, canals, tailraces and other historic resources comprised the largest direct-drive water-powered facility in the world and was the leading international producer of flour, a commodity which was shipped both nationwide and worldwide.
This industrial powerhouse was the catalyst for the development of Minneapolis and the birthplace of a number of companies which remain significant to this day, including General Mills, Pillsbury, Washburn Crosby (WCCO), and Xcel Energy.
Mill Ruins Park lies within the St. Anthony Falls Historic District and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Mill Ruins Park is directly adjacent to the 1883 Stone Arch Bridge, a National Historic Engineering Landmark constructed to connect Midwestern farmers and their crops of wheat to the booming flour production mills.
The park tells this story through the now exposed historic walls and waterpower features long buried beneath many feet of sand and gravel. With the reopening of the historic tailrace canal, which carried water from the mill turbines back to the river, visitors have the opportunity to interact directly with an exciting water feature." from Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board

The old flour mill at Lower Slaughter
The twin villages of Upper and Lower Slaughter (the name comes from old English 'Slohtre', which has nothing to do with killing things and means, simply, 'Muddy place'), are just over a mile from the hustle and bustle of Bourton-on-the-water, but it could be a million miles away.
Lower Slaughter sits on the River Eye, also known as Slaughter Brook, and has remained utterly unchanged for more than a century with no building work taking place at all since 1906. The only attraction is a restored nineteenth century flour mill, where the River Eye meets the north-west corner of the village. The mill was last used commercially in 1958 and its tall chimney cuts an imposing figure. The chimney is made of red brick, in sharp contrast to the other buildings in both villages, which are made from the traditional Cotswold stone. The mill features a giant working undershot waterwheel. The mill was originally part of Lower Slaughter Manor, which was built in 1658 for the High Sheriff of Gloucestershire. The Manor is now a grand country house hotel.
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.
We stopped by Babcock State Park in WV, to photograph this grist mill, on our way to NC. The fall colors are beautiful in this area.

The Brass Mill, Keynsham, Somerset, 8 December 2020. Built Late 18th Century as a brass mill, it is now a pub. This section of the River Avon was one of the most important areas of England's brass industry and its archaelogical remains. Note the wharf and the bricked-up goods entrance to the mill. Also note the algae growth on the mill pond. The upper floor is now the dining room of the pub (see next photos).
Alongside the Rochdale Canal in Ancoats are this fine group of cotton mills. From the right are Murray's Decker Mill (1801-02) and Old Mill (1798), McConnel & Kennedy's Sedgwick Mill (1819-20) and Royal Mill 1912).
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
Snowdon Mill and Ty'r Felin, originally known as Portmadoc Flour Mills and built in 1862 (date on building) as a steam-powered roller mill, presently undergoing conversion into apartments.
This cotton mill dates from the late 18th century and is now a picturesque ruin situated at the top of Jumble Hole Clough. There is a bit of confusion about the original name which could be Stoaps or Steps (Head).
•In 1781 Thomas Eastwood owned Staups and a Richard Horsfall occupied it
•In 1802 Richard Horsfall owned it
•In 1804 John Horsfall owned it
•The 1805 tax survey makes reference to it being owned by John Horsfall (on the site of the mill is a headstone with the initials J.H. 1812). In the same survey, it includes a factory, cottage, waterfall and small barn owned by Richard Horsfall (Junior - Richard senior was still living at Underbank).
•In 1811 Compton recorded that the mill had two mules with two hundred and sixteen spindles each, a relatively small-scale operation. Contemporary directories indicate that John Horsfall continued cotton-spinning at Staups Mill until 1834 when it was briefly leased to James Bent, who had just been made bankrupt as a cotton-spinner in the much larger Bankfoot Mill at nearby Mytholm.
•In 1841 the mill was occupied by Thomas Stansfield, "Manufacturer", and his family.
•By the 1861 tax survey, it is referred to as Staups and is owned by William Horsfall and probably run by William Dickinson. It must have been water powered and has a small dam upstream and a larger dam on the tops above it.
•In about 1860 William Gill was manufacturing Calico at Staups.
•In 1879 William Horsfall sold Staups to Ellen Vint a relative.
•On september 24th 1896, about 20ft of the retaining wall of the upper dam collapsed. The water rushed down Jumble Hole causing great damage, but no casualties.
