Una penosa apparizione: la tristissima Mini Mille, una delle ultime macchine prodotte (si fa per dire) dalla Innocenti
Forest Mill was built in 1838 by George Roberts & Co. In 1962 it merged with Robert Noble of Hawick and Walter Thorburn of Peebles. The weaving mill closed in 1967 and the wool store and spinning sections closed in 1973. Today the mill is semi derelict being mostly unoccupied. This photo was taken from Station Road bridge over the mill lade which as can be seen is now choked with vegetation. This is one of the few remaining traces of Selkirk's Mill Lade.

It's hard to see at web size, but there is a snake on the opposite side too. I haven't ID'd it yet. I wasn't looking for wildlife this day, just enjoying the rocks and cascades...
Near Holtwood, PA.
Molson grist mill on the Ganaraska River in Port Hope, Northumberland county, Ontario. It was built around 1850 and is currently used as a private art school. Thomas Molson the son of John Molson the founder of Molson breweries in Montreal bought the mill in 1851 when he wanted to expand into Upper Canada. It had six runs of stones and was able to turn out 300 barrels of flour a day. It already ceased operations at the end of the 19th century. The building was used as a summer art school as far back as 1924 when it was purchased by the Canadian artist J.W. Beatty, an associate of members of the famous Group of Seven. When I was there, the river behind was teeming with salmon and trout waiting to climb the fish ladder on the side of the dam.
On the 21st of January, 1905, the worst nightmate of any mill owner came true, as fire ripped through Old Lane Mill, Halifax. It was the first mill fire of the year, but before the end, another three mills in a ten mile radius were badly damaged by fire.
The first mill on the site was recorded in 1816, but this one was built in 1825. Two years later, in 1827, owner Akroyd built the first Jacquard looms in Britain, and the mill was iron-framed and fitted with stone floors – the first in any British mill – to support the machinery.
Today those floors are still there, stripped of machinery, but remants of old looms and chutes are still there.
Apparently the nightwatchman used to fire a blunderbuss each night to signal he was on duty. Thankfully, he is no longer there...
Temple Mill was part of John Marshalls flax spinning complex built between 1838-41. The frontage of the mill was based on the Temple of Edfu at Horus in Egypt
One unusual feature of the building was a grass covered roof designed to retain humidity in the flax mill in order to prevent the linen thread from becoming dried out and unmanageable. Sheep used to graze on the grass-covered roof. Local tradition suggests this practice ended when a sheep fell through a skylight into the machinery below. It was said that when it was built the area below this roof was the the biggest single room in the world.

One of the prettiest places in Tazewell County is Taylor's Mill. I can remember coming here as a young boy with my dad and Granddad to have Mr. Walt Taylor grind our Corn and Wheat.
old time lumber mills are another industry going tits up in the pacific northwest. Buying cheaper foreign lumber and "big fish eats little fish" mega corporation buying or bankrupting smaller mills like this one. I happen to live in a damp foggy mill town in the Pacific northwest and at one time almost everyone worked in the mill. now the mill does a fraction of business it use to and often closes for weeks at a time.
