This old mill located northeast of Snowflake on Moccasin Creek in Scott County, Virginia, was built by James Culbertson, Jr., probably sometime in the 1880s. The mill was operated by turbine wheels. The original mill had a wooden dam, replaced by a concrete dam because the wooden dam was always washing out and flooding the area downstream.
After the death of Culbertson, the mill was taken over by W. Pat McConnell who had married James Culbertson's daughter, Liza. McConnell rebuilt the mill to three stories in height and put in a rolling mill. This remodeling took place around 1915 or 1916. The concrete dam was completed around 1919. At the time of remodeling the mill had three turbine wheels in three separate pits; one for the grist mill, one for the rolling mill, and the third and largest operated a sawmill, said to be the heaviest mill in the county.
The mill was sold to a man named Shephard after the death of McConnell in 1929. Shephard operated the mill for a short time. It ceased operations in the 1930s.

Norman Wright converted it into a private residence in 1963. It is designated as a heritage building by the city of Burlington.
A pleasant 3 story mill in the village of Honley. As with all the previous visitors any history was hard to come by. The village as with many in the area were dotted with textile mills, and appears that cloth making has taken place in Honley since the 11th Century.
Very little remains regarding the company itself within the building apart from a certificate of Incorporation in 1960 establishing itself as a limited Company. Information of the companies activities are also limited, presumably they wove and/or sold rugs, there are some bits and pieces of really old looms in the loft space but that’s about it. It seems that the company only operated for 15 years until it was wound up. After that the bottom of this mill was last used around 2008 as a M.O.T centre/garage place.

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.

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.

This flour mill was built on the Credit River southeast of the village of Streetsville in the mid-1830s by John Beaty and by 1861 had an annual capacity of 12,000 barrels of flour. The mill employed four pairs of milling stones, which were replaced by roller processing in the late 1800s to produce finer qualities of flour. The Beaty family and leaseholders operated the mill until 1895 when miller Duncan Reid took over the operation, buying it from the Beaty estate in 1902. Reid, his children and grandchildren owned the mill until 1965 when Paul Helliwell purchased the complex. It was sold to Christie Brown and Company in 1969 and acquired by Kraft in 2000. The original mill, hidden inside the milling complex, and the mill dam, which survives, played an important role in Ontario's commercial and industrial history.

Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.
Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours.
Greg also built housing for his workers, in a large community now known as Styal Estate. Some were conversions of farm houses, or older residences but 42 new cottages, including the Oak Cottages (now Grade II Listed), were built in the 1820s when the mill was being expanded.
The National Trust, which runs the mill and Styal Estate as a museum that is open to the public, calls the site "one of Britain's greatest industrial heritage sites, home to a complete industrial community". According to the Council of Europe, the mill with Styal village make up "the most complete and least altered factory colony of the Industrial Revolution. It is of outstanding national and international importance".
This is Mingus Mill near the Ocunaluftee Visitoe Centre in Smoky Mountain National Park. It shows the 200ft flume which powers a turbine within the mill. It doesn't show the channel which was dug out to get the water into the flume, it must have been a hundred yards long!
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.

Roblins Mill (1842 Ameliasburgh, Prince Edward County). This five-storey stone mill building is driven entirely by a large wooden overshot waterwheel which powers all of the mill machinery, including two runs of stone to grind wheat, bolting reels for sifting flour, and elevator belts to move the grain and flour.
"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....
