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".
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....

The title on the Russian site devoted to SPG is – Rafts on the [Catherine] Canal: city of Shlisselburg.
A little poking around on the internet reveals that this is unlikely to be the Catherine canal (which runs between the Volkhov and Syas rivers, says Wikipedia), and is more likely the Peter Canal, that is the section built during the time of Peter the Great. That section of the canal had two locks, one of which we can see in the background, along with boats waiting to enter. You can find this locale on Google Earth, in "street view," much changed of course, where the Russian label tells us it is part of the Marinskii waterway, which is true, but only in a general sense. You can see on Google Earth too, that, over the years, the canal has silted up and filled in, and in places has actually been narrowed by builders needed good footings for their constructions. Another page I found said that the stonework we see on the locks and banks dates from the time of the canal's original construction (late 1720s) another that it dates from repairs and renovations done in 1836; the Wikipedia article doesn't note any work done in the 1830s, so my guess is that this stonework – which still endures, and looks to be in pretty good shape – is the same built by battalions of Peter's soldiers in the eighteenth century.
Note, in the right background, two huge stacks of logs, as high as the buildings next to them, and just as long, a truly immense stockpile. I wonder whether the logs in the foreground are about to join one of those huge piles (likely) or whether they have been taken from the piles (less likely). My guess would be that they are piled up there until they can be loaded on a transport and taken to a mill that is closer to a larger population centre, but that is speculation on my part.
This was a difficult shot to register because the logs moved around on the water as SPG took his three shots. People in the background moved; boats lining up to get into the lock moved; and one of the two fellows in the foreground took a quick look around to see if SPG was finished yet. So I had to do a lot of piece by piece compositing of sections of the shot to get everything to more or less line up. Lots of figures in the middle distance and in the faraway existed only as coloured blobs on one plate or another, so in several cases, I simply erased those partial figures from the shot. A red colour cast at the bottom of the shot proved more problematic, but I have reduced it as much as I can.
Update, 2014: I've gone over the shot one more time, trying to reduce the purple tones, to adjust the contrast on the logs, and reduce some of the fringing on the cloud images reflected in the water. I think, for now, this is the best I can do.
Update, 2024: Another revision, courtesy of Photoshop's updated tools, particularly using the Camera Raw filter.

Mill stones located at Hagood Mill in Pickens, SC. Haygood Grist Mill was originally build around 1773 and purchased by Benjamin Haygood in 1823. The mill as it stands today was build by his son, James Haygood, in 1845. There is more history at the web site.
The Ace Mill was built in 1914 as the Gorse No.2 Mill, to the design of P.S. Stott. A 2000hp Urmson & Thompson engine was installed. Immediately requisitioned for aircraft production in WWI, cotton spinning did not begin until 1919 at which time it was renamed by the owners, Ace Mill Ltd. Later ownership included the Lancashire Cotton Corporation in the 1930s, and Courtaulds Ltd in 1964 until production ended in 1967. The mill is currently occupied by electrical equipment company MEM-Delta.
nrhp # 76000353- McCosh Mill is located in Alabama, but can only be accessed through Georgia. The Mill and house were both burned down by vagrants in the 80/90's but the foundation of both still can be seen along with the ruins of the dam and spillway that ran the mill. It is listed as haunted, saying that the miller killed his wife and lover and they prowl the area, however the older locals say this did not happen. Many locals and people from the surrounding area visit the mill on a regular basis to fish, swim, sunbathe and just hang out. It consists of the upper Mill pond and rocky rapids below the pond.

As with many of the smaller mills in Saddleworth there isn’t that much history about the place. It was used by Saddleworth Yarn Dyers up until 2000, which more or less when the neighbouring Bailey Mill stopped production.
Since then the building has been managed by a company from Bradford, not sure if they actually used it for anything during this time. The 2 large steel chimeys which used to dominate the skyline have finally been removed in the last couple of months, the current future of the buildings are unknown.

A reconstructed early 19th-centuary flour mill which was moved from the North York Moors to the grounds of York Castle.
Originally the mill served Newton-upon-Rawcliffe and surrounding villages until the water that flowed in to the mill pond dried up in 1915, making the mill redundant.
The mill was restored to full working order on this site in 2012.
