Dromore feed mill in Dromore, Southgate township, Grey County, Ontario. This feed mill was originally an old sawmill. It was never a water mill but was originally steam driven. It is distinguishable as one of the few remaining independent village feed mills that is still operational. John Milne, the current owner bought the sawmill in 1956 and converted it into a feed mill. It has been operational since and serves the local farmers three days a week. This feed mill and the general store are the only businesses still open in Dromore. The garage beside the mill, once a blacksmith shop apparently, has been closed. Dromore had the misfortune of being bypassed by the railroad in the 1800s and so never flourished like neighboring Holstein did. While I was in the general store, a neighbor came in to buy some candy and the store owner put the piddling amount owing in a register to be paid the following week. The owner joked that once he closes the store and the mill shuts down, Dromore will effectively be a ghost town. By the way, the son of the Dromore mill owner is currently the mayor of Southgate township.
Thurne Mill, Norfolk, England.
This is the famous Thurne Dyke Mill, on the River Thurne in the Norfolk Broads.
Norfolk has many windmills but this mill is unusual in that it is all white. I have captured the mill here against the lovely pre-sunrise colour in the sky.

This canal was built in 1796 for shipping/transportation purposes, I think primarily to transport logs from New Hampshire to Newburyport, where the lumber was used to build ships.
In 1821 it was made wider and deeper so it could be used to generate power for textile mills. Lowell has a whole network of canals. It is the oldest power-generating canal system in the country, and Pawtucket Canal is the oldest canal among them.
These buildings which are all former textile mills are all residential now, I think. (In the larger sizes of this photo you can see a "Now Renting" banner on the building on the left.)
The Trencherfield Mill Steam Engine is one of the largest and finest working examples of its type. Built over 100 years ago, this mammoth metal powerhouse was regarded as a feat of industrial engineering. Churning out a massive 2,500 horse power to feed the ever hungry machinery of Trencherfield Mill, it played an instrumental role in Wigan’s industrial development.
Hidden amongst the hills is this half forgotten mill, originally manufacturing the finest worsted to export overseas. Today it is silent, and has an amazing control panel which is ace. I liked it.
Mill Street is one of the few spots to survive Warwick’s Great Fire (1694) undamaged.This fire caused damage to much of the area and cost the town around 100,000 pounds. Today, Mill Street is a residential street that retains some of the town’s medieval architecture. The houses were built mostly with timber-frames in the style of the Tudors. The Tudor period lasted from the late 1400s through the 1600s.
Limehouse mill ruins on Black Creek in the Limehouse Conservation area, near Limehouse, in the geographic township of Esquesing, now a part of the town of Halton Hills, Halton Region, Ontario. John Newton built a woolen mill in Limehouse in 1852, called the Empire Blanket Company. He also operated a sawmill. In 1893, a fire broke out in the woolen mill which destroyed both the woolen mill and sawmill. There were worries that the whole village would go up in flames but a horse drawn fire engine from nearby Georgetown managed to salvage the village from annihilation. Limehouse was originally named Fountain Green and was renamed in 1857. The trail leading through the Limehouse Conservation area is one of the more interesting highlights along the Bruce trail because of its diverse landscape. In addition to these mill ruins you can also visit the lime kiln ruins and the famous "Hole in the Wall" area.

The funeral services of Fletcher Mills, who died this Monday afternoon, were held this morning at the home at 10 o’clock and were attended by a large number of friends and relatives. Rev. C. O. Wilson of the Christian church officiated, assisted by Dr. B. F. Gaither of the First Methodist church. The remains were interred in Elmwood cemetery.
The relatives attending the services from out of town were Clark Mills of Vega, Tex., and John Mills of Neleigh, Neb., brothers of Mr. Mills; Mrs Ada Elmen and Mrs. Georgia Smith of Rochelle, Ill., nieces; Norman Mills of Craig, Colo., a son, and Capt. J. W. Finley of Camp Funston.
The following obituary was read by Dr. Gaither:
Fletcher Mills, the seventh child of Julius and Margaret Mills, was born May 13, 1838, near Starkville, N. Y., and died at Chanute, Kansas, April 8th, 1918, being 79 years, 10 months and 25 days of age. Of the six brothers and sisters of Mr. Mills who were older than he all have preceded him to the grave. But he is survived by two brothers both younger than himself,--Clark Mills of Vega, Texas, and John Mills of Neleigh, Neb.
Mr. Mills spent his early childhood days on the farm in New York , and attending the local schools until he was thirteen years of age, when with his parents, he moved to Rochelle, Ogle county, Illinois, and there made his home until 1868, when he moved to Kansas.
He homesteaded land in Allen county, about ten miles northeast of Chanute, where he made his home most of the time until 1891, when he purchased a farm in Big Creek township, Neosho county.
In 1897 Mr. Mills retired from active farming and moved to Chanute, where he lived until the time of his death.
In 1869 Fletcher Mills was married to Margaret A. Lockhart, who survives him. To this union three children were born, all of whom are living; Norman Mills, of Craig Colo., Mrs. James Finley of Chanute and Miss Bess Mills of the home address.
Mr. Mills was a man of great reserve. He did not admit every man into a close acquaintance, regarding and reserving that intimacy for his family and a few tried friends. But those who knew him best most appreciated his worth and sterling character. He loved truth and abominated sham and falsehood. He was a man who shunned pubilicity, yet was deeply interested in every movement looking to the betterment of the community and state. He cherished his family with the most affectionate regard and their interest was his delight. He freely gave to his children, when they most needed his help, and no worthy cause or needy man ever appealed to him in vain, but his charity was quiet and free from all vanity.
Deeply reverential and religious by nature, he bore the pain and suffering of his last illness with great patience and fortitude. He met the Grim Reaper calmly and unafraid, for he had never intentionally done any man wrong.

The Cotton Mill in McKinney Texas was once the largest denim manufacturer in the World. The Mill closed it's doors in 1969. It is now a tourist and event destination.
The Mallard ducks are swimming below the rushing waters of the dam used by the Faribault Wool Mill, Minnesota. The mill buildings are reflected in the pond. The mill has been producing woolen items since 1865 and today it's the largest wool blanket manufacturer in the USA.
Mill #4, Gilbert Manufacturing Company
Gilbert Manufacturing Company was a woolen textile firm, around which the village of Gilbertville evolved in the town of Hardwick Massachusetts.
This is the 4th mill building in Hardwick. The company also had two similar sized mills in nearby Ware Massachusetts.
This family-owned business employed an average of 2,000 people from 1860 - 1930.
The building is now used as a self-storage facility which employs a total of 2 people.
It isn't that America can't compete. It's that Washington DC, the Federal Reserve and Wall Street have eradicated the possibility of family-owned businesses.
While oblivious Americans continue to vote Democrat or Republican according to the Gay Rights vs. Gun Rights charade, the Federal Reserve continues to enslave the citizens of the so-called greatest nation on earth.
It's time to pass the torch to a new generation of Americans who are willing to refuse the trivial government handouts designed to keep them sedated, and to forge an exciting, excellent future wherein Wall Street does not own Washington DC.

Abbotsford, BC Canada
There is a paved walking trail around the lake. The trail is is around 2.5km long. There is also a foot bridge along the eastern shoreline.
Fishing can be done at almost any point along the lake shoreline. The easiest sections are the south shoreline, the dock by the boat launch on the north shore and the foot bridge on the east side.
Fishing Season:
Fishing can be done year round at Mill Lake, but the best period is between March and November. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout by the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery between March and June. Stockings are not done in July and August due to the warmer weather, but fishing for bass and other spiny ray species can be good during this period. Rainbow trout stockings resume in late September until November. Although it is usually cold between December and February, trout fishing can still be good at times.
