I went todwn here to try a couple of hours and see if I could get a short series of images that were not from the footpath and give a different view of the mill and the river.
Luddenden
This extensive mill complex is in an open setting on the hillside above Luddenden village. It was founded by John Murgatroyd & Son in 1847, it was named after the family house which had been built in 1645. It operated as a worsted spinning and manufacturing works. It was one of the largest concerns in the upper Calder valley. A road divides the site in half, the earliest building being on the right of the photograph. It was steam powered from the beginning, comprising of a three storey mill, an engine house and a tall chimney. An additional four storey mill was added around 1855. The mill expanded on to the opposite side of the road, on the left of picture, in 1863, and again during 1886 and 1887 under the supervision of the architect T. Lister Padgett of Halifax. The large single storey sheds with the saw tooth roofs were added to house combing and weaving machinery, whilst the multi storey buildings were used for preparation and spinning. At its peak it employed around 2000 people.
The mill was severely damaged by fire in February 1989, the building on the left was totally gutted. It has been sympathetically replaced by an apartment block, the whole mill complex is now residential or holiday rental accommodation. Prices range to purchase an apartment from around £190,000 to over £300,000 depending on the size.

This water-powered grist mill was built in 1871 along the Cottonwood River. Operations ceased during the 1960's. Various efforts to restore the building have failed. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. Under private ownership it is now for sale.
In my opinion restoration looks very dicey (a flood could take it out) and very, very expensive. Obviously there are major structural issues. My previous photo shows it from the rear.
...with thanks to Robert Birkby for the title...oh...and my parents who struggled to work and live here
The Dells Mill is located in Augusta, Wisconsin, United States. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. The structure was built as a gristmill. A mill pond was created near-by. Currently, the site is used as a museum
Built around 1865, the 20 stamp mill ran until 1875. For a while it was the primary mill for the mines of Ione. In the 1890's the machinery was moved to the (still standing) mill at Berlin, where it can be viewed as one of the main exhibits of Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Historical Park.
To the left of the ruined wall, and across Ione Valley is Paradise Peak in the Paradise Range.

Flatford Mill is a Grade I listed watermill on the River Stour at Flatford in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England. According to the date-stone the mill was built in 1733, but some of the structure may be earlier. Attached to the mill is a 17th-century miller's cottage which is also Grade I listed. The property is in Dedham Vale, a typically English rural landscape.
The mill was owned by the artist John Constable's father and is noted, along with its immediate surroundings as the location for many of Constable's works. It is referred to in the title of one of his most iconic paintings, Flatford Mill (Scene on a Navigable River), and mentioned in the title or is the subject of several others including: Flatford Mill from a lock on the river Stour; Flatford Mill from the lock (A water mill); The Lock. The Hay Wain, which features Willy Lott's Cottage, was painted from the front of the mill.
The mill is located downstream from Bridge Cottage which, along with neighbouring Valley Farm and Willy Lott's Cottage, are leased to the Field Studies Council, a group that uses them as locations for arts, ecology and natural history based courses.

The hiking trail beside Mill Creek, Cohutta Wilderness... My adventure this morning led me to yet another new first-time destination, located in the Cohutta Wilderness in Western North Georgia near the Tennessee State line. I found the Mill Creek trail from Hickey Gap to be one of the most enjoyable, varied and adventuresome-challenging trails I've hiked. Only .8 of a mile long, I still spent 4 hours on the trail today photographing four beautiful waterfalls, including a few trail shots I made with my little trail camera. I hope you'll able to get a feel for the forest ambience and sense the beauty of these surroundings as I did.
Groff's Mill built in 1860 has what I call "That Civil War Look." I don't know what that particular architectural style is called but whenever you drive through a Pennsylvania town founded during or around the Civil War it has that look.
This was taken the same day as the facing the fears one was done and we had come through the Washington National Forest out into the Cowpasture Valley in the beautiful (and favorite of ours) Highland County. The sun was so strong that day that it was making beautiful strong shadows and areas of light and dark. I don't know the name of this mill or anything else about it unfortunately.
I captured this at the Babcock State Park which is located along the New River Gorge in Fayette County, West Virginia. This mill is highly photographed and is a popular location for photographers from all over the world.
Small towns like Perkasie were once hemmed in by farms and naturally they had a feed mill right there at the edge of town. Now the farms are neighborhoods and the feed mill is nearer the center of town due to its expansion over the last century.
The first record of a mill at Worsbrough was in the Domesday book of 1086, although the exact location of the mill along the River Dove is unknown. The oldest part of the mill standing today dates from about 1625 and forms the two storey stone building known as the Old Mill, which houses the waterwheel. Before the Mill House was built in the mid 18th century the miller and his family would have lived in the mill itself. There are large fireplaces on both the ground and first floors and the lintel over the fireplace on the first floor is inscribed with several dates and initials of the millers.
The Old Mill was probably modernised in the early 1820’s to improve its output, and in the 1840’s the New Mill was built next door. The machinery in the New Mill was powered by a steam engine and a third floor, where grain could be stored in bulk, was added.
Trade for corn and flour began to drop off towards the end of the 19th century as cheap imported wheat came in from abroad.
An old abandoned mill in Ozark, Missouri. It's nearby, but I had never seen it before.
It began operating in 1839, and the first post office of Ozark, MO, was located inside the mill, which was named Hoover Mill at that time. John Morris, the founder of Bass Pro, has talked about having a restaurant in the old building, which he now owns. What a view that restaurant would have!
Originally established in 1750, Wade's Mill is the oldest continually operating grist mill in the Shenandoah Valley. Located near Raphine in Rockbridge County, Virginia, it is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. I stopped by the mill this past weekend and had the opportunity to see the interior as well. Information from the mill's website.
The Grade II-listed Hardwater Mill is just to the west of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, on the River Nene near Great Doddington. The buildings date from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s, though there has been a watermill on this site since the time of the Domesday Book. Milling ceased in 1946 and it is now a private residence.
Mill Brow has been designated as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest. Mill Brow is a small hamlet I struggled to find it on a map.
It has just over fifty dwellings, mostly built of local millstone grit with the Pub Hare and Hounds lying at the centre of the hamlet. From the late medieval period Mill Brow was a community of scattered farms. By the early nineteenth century a dramatic change had occurred with the building of four cotton mills on Mill Beck, the stream flowing through Mill Brow which then became a flourishing industrial centre. With the decline in the importance of water power the mills fell into disuse and today their legacy is best seen in weavers’ and mill workers cottages. Mill Brow has been designated as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest.
Paper Mill Lane, South Moreton, South Oxfordshire, UK. The nearby Mill Brook (a chalk stream) is small but quite capable of driving a modest mill. At one time there were two mills in this village, one for the manufacture of paper and the other for grinding corn. Presumably, the one very close by here (yet no longer evident) was preparing rags for paper-making.
