This is a bit of a departure for me really - I generally don't post process to this extent.
Anyhow, I thought the subject warranted a go at an antique type image. This is Alderford Mill in Sible Headingham, Essex, UK, the earliest reference to the mill dating back to 1597. See www.siblehedingham.com/mills.htm
Apologies to all my Flickr buddies for the absence (work, travel and so on), I am back (for a while) and will be visiting your images!

Stoneywood Mill was founded in 1770, and the ownership has changed many times. The current owner is Arjowiggins who have their head offices based at Issy in Paris, and have three other paper mills in the UK at Dartford (founded 1588), Chartham (founded 1738) and Ivybridge (founded 1787), with many mills throughout France and Europe.
Recently in the local papers:
Workers at the north-east’s last surviving paper mill have been warned that nearly 50 jobs are under threat.
Stoneywood Mill bosses told staff yesterday that a consultation is to be launched to discuss the potential loss of 48 jobs at the Bucksburn plant.
Stoneywood will soon be the only remaining paper mill in the north-east. Production has been stopped at the Davidson Mill in Mugiemoss, the Donside Mill in Tillydrone and Culter Mill.
And International Paper’s Inverurie plant will be shut down at the end of this month [March 2009] after a 90-day consultation failed to find a buyer.
Another quick test fitting of the y-axis table. The sleeve bearings with the cut guide rods and braces in place. All seems to slide nice and smooth.
The blank for the x-z-axis is visible in the background.
The tolerances are pretty tight, here, and I'm worried I might get glue where it's not suppose to be!
The Mill Inn near Lancaster was our home for two days on our trip. The building was originally called Thurnham Mill and owned by the Canal Company. It sits beside the Glasson branch of the Lancaster Canal. The branch was completed in 1826, six years after the main canal in 1819
Fisher mill on Chiligo creek, Fisher Mills, a former hamlet in Hespeler, in the city of Cambridge, Waterloo Region, Ontario. The original grist mill and dam were built by Jacob Fisher in 1843. In 1871 the mill was the largest in Waterloo township. In 1888 the mill was dismantled and moved to Birtle Manitoba, Joseph Shantz built a new mill on the old foundation here in1890. His son A. J. Shantz became the owner in 1932. A. J. Shantz converted the mill from water power to diesel and operated it as a feed mill. He sold it to Howard Cressman in 1970 when he retired.The mill operations closed in 1990. A. J. Shantz had also owned the Blackbridge mill for 22 years. The dam was demolished in 2000 but the mill building still remains as a private residence. It has recently been sold and now also caters to meetings, banquets and event planning including gardens for pictures much like the Klages mill in Chesley. Fisher is a common name for historic mills in Ontario:- There are the three Fisher mills in Paisley, the Fisher Mill ruins in Dundas and this one in Cambridge.
In 1884, the entrepreneur Noah Falk began timber operations along the South Fork of Elk River. The mill town of Falk was built along the river and included cookhouses, bachelor cabins, family homes, a general store, post office, and dance hall. Four-hundred workers and family members of the Falk operations inhabited the town. By 1937, high operating cost and low shipping volume forced the mill into closure. Many residents stayed in town and paid $5 a month rent while commuting to Eureka, California for work. By 1940, only 12 people remained. Nine years later the railroad tracks were pulled. Charlie Webb was hired as a caretaker of what had become the Falk ghost town. By 1979, because of hazard and liability to the lumber company, the majority of the buildings were bulldozed and burned.
There are currently a variety of remnant features from the historic milling town of Falk. A recent survey of the area recorded the presence of outlying lumber camps, and patterns of vegetation resulting from residential use and historic logging practices. The two main historic structures still standing is the craftsman house and train barn. The house is not accessible and is a safety hazard. The train barn was moved in 2008 and is now the Headwaters Education Center located .5 miles on the Elk River trail. The main evidence of the town is the landscape alterations. A variety of exotic ornamental species mark the location of home fronts and entrance paths. In addition, historic orchards, cleared land, antique bottles, ceramic, tile, milled lumber, and a variety of other artifacts are scattered throughout the reserve.

Salts Mill (sometimes spelled Salt's Mill) is a former textile mill, now an art gallery, shopping centre, and restaurant complex in Saltaire. It was the first building to be complete in 1853.
When Salts Mill opened in 1853, it was the biggest factory in the world. 3000 workers toiled away at 1200 looms, producing 30,000 yards of cloth every single day.
It was located beside the Leeds & Liverpool Canal which provided him with connections to the ports of Liverpool and Hull. The large loading doors in the middle of Salt's Mill facing the canal show how important the canal was the location of Saltaire.
This huge Mill was the key to Sir Titus Salt's vision to relocate all his textile mills from the city of Bradford to a healthier purpose-built site, along with a surrounding village where his workers could enjoy a good quality of life.
Saltaire is a Victorian model village. The Victorian era Salt's Mill and associated residential district located by the River Aire and Leeds and Liverpool Canal is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and an Anchor Point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage.
Saltaire was built in 1851 by Sir Titus Salt, a leading industrialist in the Yorkshire woollen industry. The name of the village is a combination of the founder's surname and the name of the river.

One of several paintings by Henry Carr which are on display at Salt’s Mill, Saltaire, showing the stages of textile production. They were done between 1957 and 1959. More info below.
Henry Marvell Carr, RA RP RBA, (16 August 1894 – 16 March 1970) was a successful British landscape and portrait painter who served as a war artist during World War II.
He was born in Leeds and trained at Leeds College of Art and the Royal College of Art, under William Rothenstein. During World War I he served in France with the Royal Field Artillery. After the war his work was exhibited at the Royal Academy and in Paris. He painted portraits of, among others, Aldous Huxley and Olivia Davis, and landscapes of the English south coast.
In 1943 Carr became a War Office Artist and travelled first to North Africa and then to Italy. As well as portraits of Allied soldiers and officers, he painted military actions and landscapes in Algiers, Tunis, Cassino and Sessa in Italy. In 1944, he witnessed, and painted, an eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
After the war, Carr resumed his career as a portrait painter. In 1948 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and in 1956 he was awarded the Gold Medal at the Paris Salon. In 1952, Carr published the book Portrait Painting. Between 1957 and 1959 he produced a series of fourteen murals, showing the stages of textile production for the Salts Mill. Carr taught at Beckenham Art School for some seventeen years and became Head of the School. Carr was a member of the Royal Society of British Artists. He was elected an Associate Member of the Royal Academy in 1957 and a full member in 1966 and continued to exhibit there until his death. Some seventy works by him are held by the Imperial War Museum.
A morning walk around Babbs Mill Lake on Christmas Day in the Kingfisher Country Park.
Starting from near Kingshurst in Solihull then towards Shard End in Birmingham and back.
Babbs Mill Lake is a man-made lake located in the Kingfisher Country Park in the Kingshurst area of Solihull, England. The lake was created as a balancing feature in times of flooding from the River Cole which is located nearby.
The lake gives its name to Babbs Mill Park, which was created to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. It was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2002.
In March 2016, Solihull Council's planning committee approved a scheme to build 52 houses on land amounting to approximately seven per cent of the reserve.
Since August 2019, Babbs Mill Lake has hosted a parkrun, a free, weekly timed 5 km run/walk, every Saturday morning at 9am.
at Cades Cove. Went here over the weekend knowing full well I would regret it afterward, but it was so worth it. The day was beautiful and some of my photos turned out pretty well. Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Take care and I'll catch up with your wonderfully beautiful work today!
This is a working Grist Mill. Here is some info if you are interested.
John P Cable Grist Mill
This was not the only mill in the early days of Cades Cove but it is the only mill still standing.
In the 1860s a farmer named John P Cable bought this land in Cades Cove and in 1870 he built this water driven grist and saw mill.
If you look you will see how the water comes from Mill Creek, runs through the mill race and ends up on the long wheel which provided power for the saw as well as the grist mill.
Corn was the major crop of Cades Cove and thus mills that could grind the corn were of real importance to the residents of the Cove. Milling was one of the first industries in the Cove and the mill owners were able to tax a farmer around 10% for grinding his crop. Early mills were small and did a poor job grinding corn. These tub mills as they were called, cracked the corn and turned it into a rough corm meal for making breads. The more sophisticated mills such as the mill seen here could grind a much finer corn meal and turn wheat into flour which could be used in biscuits and cakes.
Although this was a great mill for food stock, it was not fantastic as a saw mill. The water driven wheel powered a sash blade - a reciprocating flat blade that travels up and down. This sash blade does not cut lumber as well as a steam operated saw mill with a circular blade does.
Apparently owning and operating this mill was not enough for John P Cable. He was also an active farmer and had a large bell mounted on a pole by the mill that customers could ring when he was working on the fields. His son James V Cable ran this mill into the 1900s. James could not compete with the steam operated saw mills so he just concentrated on grinding corn and wheat.

nrhp # 92000094- The Hayward and Kibby Mill, also known as the Tunbridge Mill, is a historic industrial facility on Spring Road in Tunbridge, Vermont. It includes a substantially complete water-powered 19th-century grist mill dating back to 1820, with a later sawmill added about 1870. It is one of the few surviving water-powered mills in the state, and is believed to be the only one featuring both a sawmill and grist (grain) mill. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
