We had attempted to hike in on a Monday, but went in the wrong direction, by the time we turned around, it had started to storm/rain so we decided to turn back...this is after I had decided to drive there and Keiko decide we needed to hike after I turned a corner (which I later found out was called, "oh shit corner". The reason for the hiking suggestions...Keiko had decided I was not competent enough to drive there...We then took a jeep tour to Crystal Mills and the ghost town of Crystal. After taking the tour, I wouldn't have had a problem driving this road...LOL...but I don't know if Keiko would have ridden with me!!!
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.

An old Textile Mill in Glencoe North Carolina. This was a room where the door had no lock so I took a peak. I'm thinking the fall and winter are the best time to explore in North Carolina. If you look closely you will notice hundreds of hives on the wood beams above. Almost every location I have visited in NC has these hives.
Since it was built about 1950 we gave it a 50s look with mostly free stuff we got. The cabinets and fridge were free they still need painting. The table and chairs were very cheap. It has been sitting a couple years and needs a good cleaning up.
Snowdon Mill and Ty'r Felin, originally known as Portmadoc Flour Mills and built in 1862 (date on building) as a steam-powered roller mill, presently undergoing conversion into apartments.
Ancient, burned out ruins of mills alongside the Mississippi (flour dust is explosive, so the mills burn easily) have been excavated and are part of a new Mill Ruins Park, right below the new Mill City Museum and the new Guthrie's "endless bridge."
St. Anthony Falls is to Minneapolis what Mud Lake was to Chicago: a water feature that was both the city's natural genesis and greatest early engineering challenge. However, waterfalls are considered by most to be more scenic than muddy swamps, so the falls survive and the "lake" is gone.
Many mills shared one waterfall by diverting upper-level water into a canal ("race"), then sending it over a waterwheel and into a "tailing" tunnel that returns to the river at the lower level. The cutout in the wall at right is part of an old tailing.
This fine old building is the 18th century watermill was almost demolished, but then saved by the local villagers and restored to working order to carry on the tradition of milling on this site for over 1,000 years.
Set in an idyllic village location on an island on the Great Ouse River, Houghton Mill.
Paperwork bearing the Spillers name was a nice find. This was in a torched office where all sorts of documents thankfully survived.
Fire damage - arson in most cases - is sad to see, but there is little intentional damage in these mills.

West Point Mill in Durham, North Carolina, functioned longer (1778-1942) and more prosperously than any other mill on the Eno River. This mill also became the vital center for a thriving community of about 300 families. There was a general store, blacksmith shop, cotton gin, saw mill, and still. In 1839, the mill even became the location of a post office. Because it was the most westerly point on the mail route from Raleigh to Roxboro, the name West Point was given to the post office, to the mill, and to the community itself.
The mill ceased operations in 1942 when a freshet broke the dam across the river, and the building collapsed from old age and neglect in 1973. Through the use of photographs of the original mill, remains of the framing, and the intact foundation, the mill was reconstructed with materials gleaned from other local grist mills. Today the West Point Mill is working again, grinding corn and wheat with water power. Stone-ground meal and flour, along with other items, are sold in the mill's store.

As the rain was still coming down I was thankful that at least one part of the buildings here had a roof as it meant I could shelter and take photographs at the same time!
Day 9 of the Southern Upland Way blogged about at ramblingman.org.uk/southernuplandway/day9
The James Rice family built this mill in 1798 on Lost Creek in what is now Union County, Tennessee. Four generations of the family operated it there until 1935 when the Tennessee Valley Authority bought the land where it stood.
Norris Dam, which was the first of the TVA dams, would soon flood its location so in 1935 men from the Civilian Conservation Corps moved the mill to its present site just downstream of the dam.
During its long history the mill has at times been rigged to power a sawmill, a cotton gin, a trip hammer, and even a dynamo that supplied electricity to power lights for the Rice home in 1899.
In summer months the mill is still used to grind cornmeal which is available for sale at the site.
You Tube video of the Rice Mill can be seen here.
Traverston grist mill on the Rocky Saugeen river in Traverston, West Grey township, Grey County, Ontario. This mill was originally built in 1870 and was operational until 1955. The mill was derelict until the current owners renovated it in the 1970's. Traverston is a ghost town of its former glory in the late 1800's. Its decline came when the railway bypassed it and wheat farming headed west. You can see traces of the former wooden dam in the bottom right.
Healings Mill at Tewkesbury in Gloucestershire surrounded by a flooded Mill Avon River. This was built in 1869 by Samuel Healing and stayed in the family until 1961 when it was taken over by Allied Mills. At one time grain from America and Canada was transported from the docks at Avonmouth or Sharpness by the firm's barges which were named after local villages.
Brainerd Local drops off two cars for scrap paper loading and is about to pick up these two loads. The mill was eerily quiet.
Canton grist mill on the Ganaraska River in Canton, Municipality of Port Hope, Northumberland County, Ontario. The stone insignia says W.H. Kinsman, Canton, 1886 so I assume 1886 was when this building was built. This former mill can still generate its own hydroelectricity from the turbine. It has been converted to office spaces for lease. The dam is hidden behind the trees to the left. Canton is about 10 km north of Port Hope proper on County Road 10. While you are in Canton you can also view the Batterwood House, which was the retirement home of the former Governor General of Canada, Vincent Massey, brother of the actor Raymond Massey and son of the original Massey in Massey Ferguson,
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 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.
