Abandoned Grist Mill in Virginia City. Formerly Dry Gulch Junction, Virginia City has 20 restored buildings. It is located 10 miles North of Wytheville, VA
I couldn't find any info on this place, but it was at the edge of what appeared to be an old community that has been unoccupied for some time. All the old buildings were still there. The only way in that I saw was blocked off. I hiked a little off the roadside to get to this part. This was a great find.
Oehler Mill Complex
Shelby, Wisconsin
Listed 5/22/2013
Reference Number: 13000314
The Oehler Mill Complex is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its local significance under National Register (NR) Criterion C, architecture. It is significant at the local level with a period of significance of 1862-1907, dates encompassing the construction of the mill and the associated buildings of the milling complex. Research was undertaken to assess this potential utilizing the NR significance area of Architecture, a theme that is also identified in the State of Wisconsin's Cultural Resource Management Plan (CRMP). This research centered on evaluating the resources in the Complex utilizing the Italianate Style and Stone Construction subsections of the Architectural Styles study unit, and the Milling subsection of the Industry study unit portions of the CRMP. 17 The results of this research are detailed below and determined that the Complex's fine stone and brick Astylistic Utilitarian Vernacular Form flour mill building and its two fine associated brick Italianate style houses are locally significant under Criterion C, architecture. The mill is a now exceptionally rare example of an early rural flour and grist mill and its significance is heightened by the fact that the houses of Valentine Oehler and Gottfried Oehler, the two brothers who built it and ran it, are both extant and are situated on either side of it.

The Anthony Mill, at Reilly Townsite, was built in 1883. To suppy water to operate the mill, as well as the town of Reilly, a pipeline was laid from Water Canyon over five miles away. In September of 1883 the stamp mill was fired up for the first time, and promptly broke down when a water pump failed.
I took this photo of the mill foundation wall because I thought it has held up remarkable well (it's 130 years old!). And look at that stone work! The wall is perfectly straight and the corner as sharp as a knife.
Over 400 years old - it was here that the miller's son Arthur Moore, in April 1912, a keen early radio "ham", picked up a distress signal from RMS"Titanic" - no one believed him for some days until it had been confirmed such was the infancy of radio!
The mill was built at the same time as Penllwyn Manor House and owned by the then Lord Tredegar.
When I was a lad it was owned by Mr. Albert Moore and his brother Leonard whose family had owned the mill for over one hundred years.
Prior to that the mill was owned by Aneurin Jones, better known as Aneurin Fardd, a Welsh poet who had helped the local poet Islwyn ( 1832 - 1878) to improve his writings.(Islwyn was a frequent visitor to the mill at that time) - it is said that it was near here that Islwyn heard a nightingale that inspired his "Ode to a Nightingale"
Later, Jones went to America where he built a breakwater in New Jersey and became superintendent of New York's Central Park.
The old cottages opposite the mill are now used for candle-making.

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 Dublin based flour dynasty erected the stone portions of their mills in the nineteenth century, overlooking the Grand Canal's Ringsend Basin. These structures gained fame due to being occupied by Nationalist forces during the 1916 Easter uprising. The concrete silos were added in the 1940s.
Taken over by food giant IAWS in 1948, production finally ended in 2001. The site has stood derelict since then awaiting redevelopment.

Ashton windmill is a Tower mill in Chapel Allerton, Somerset, England. Its tower is over 7.5 metres (25 ft) high with stone walls that are 60 cm (2.0 ft) thick. The sails are 13 m (43 ft) across and used to be covered with canvas. The last millstones were 1.2 m (3.9 ft) across and the millstones used to grind wheat for flour and beans for cattle food. [1]
The first mill on the site was medieval, but the present structure probably dates from the 18th century.[2] It was modernised in 1900 with machinery brought from the demolished Moorlinch mill, and iron hoops around the building being added.[3] It was restored in 1967. The mill has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[4]
It is now preserved, having been given to Bristol City Museum in 1966 and is owned by Sedgemoor District Council, and maintained by volunteers.
White water at the weir at Beeleigh Mill on the River Chelmer at Langford near the town of Maldon in the County of Essex (UK).
The nearby Chelmer and Blackwater navigation canal together with the weir and lock at Beeleigh Mill opened in 1796.
This location is part of a small loop shaped section of the River Chelmer at Langford and not part of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Canal which bypasses away just to the south from here.
With man made and natural tributaries all over the place, some parts of the River Chelmer around Langford form a part of the Chelmer and Blackwater Navigation Canal and some don't..

"On the banks of Vickery Creek, ruins of the Roswell Manufacturing Co. Mills can be found. Constructed in 1839 and 1853, these mills were burned by Union forces on July 7, 1864. The 1853 mill was rebuilt after the Civil War and used until destroyed by fire again in 1926. These mills were known as the Roswell Manufacturing Company. The waterfall created when the creek was dammed to provide waterpower as well as the original machine shop can be viewed from the interpreted trail. A covered pedestrian bridge over the creek connects the walking trail that begins in Old Mill Park to the Chattahoochee River trail system. The bridge and waterfall are favorite spots for amateur and professional photographers." www.exploregeorgia.org/roswell/history-heritage/civil-war....

Clifton Mill is one of the largest water powered grist mills still in existence.
The first mill at this site was built in 1802 by Owen Davis, a Revolutionary War soldier and frontiersman miller. The mill was built in this location to take advantage of the natural power of the concentrated water funneled into the gorge. Owen Davis and his son-in-law, General Benjamin Whiteman also built a saw mill and a distillery. Soon a village known as Davis Mills sprang up around the mills. The Little Miami River powered five other mills that were built within a mile of Clifton Mill; a woolen mill, saw mill, paper mill, barrel mill and another grist mill. Clifton Mill is the only one still standing.
Around 1810, Davis sold his grist mill to Robert Patterson, father of the founders of NCR (National Cash Register Company). Patterson renamed the village Cliff Town, had it surveyed into lots and officially made a town whose name was shortened to Clifton.
Clifton grew rapidly and at one point had a population three times that of today with blacksmith shops, a butcher shop, two churches, a school, a hotel, two grocers, weavers, shoemakers, paper makers and more. Due to Robert Patterson being made Quartermaster, Clifton played a part in the War of 1812. Clifton Mill provided corn meal for federal troops from this part of Ohio, while Patterson's woolen mill provided cloth and buttons for uniforms.
Robert Patterson sold Clifton Mill to the Armstrong family who ran the mill for more than 20 years. Then three generations of the Preston family ran the mill until 1948. Many years and several owners later, the Satariano family purchased the mill.
The present building was built by the Armstrong Family in 1869. The Armstrong Family owned and operated the mill until 1889.
Clifton Mill has six levels: it is built with two floors below the rim of the gorge, and four floors above the rim. The lower level contains the water turbine. The upper levels house all of the milling equipment and storage of the ground corn and wheat. Many pieces of antique milling equipment are on display. A tour of the mill is available for a nominal charge. The tour is self-guided but there are plaques that describe the machinery.
The exterior of the mill is in good condition. It is sided with red planks and the building is trimmed with white paint. The mill is well lighted with many 4 X 4 double-hung windows.

The Mill in Farningham has fallen into a state of dilapidation and is due to be refurbished as apartments. A mill has stood on this site since Doomsday times.
A restored mill belonging to Flemish artist, Willem Vermandere, who rescued it from destruction and is continuing with the renovation. The mill is in De Moeren (Les Moëres), a polder area stretching from Veurne in Flanders over the border into northern France. At its deepest point De Moeren are 3m below sea level, the lowest point in Belgium. The polder was drained in the 17th century by the Flemish Renaissance architect, engineer, painter, antiquarian, numismatist and economist, Wenceslas Cobergher, using a network of channels and twenty windmills. The original wooden mills were later replaced by stone mills that used an Archimedes screw to draw water up and feed it into the drainage channels. The stone mills have now been replaced by modern pumping stations.
