The first mill on the site on Bryant Creek was built by William Holeman in 1861. Alva Hodgson bought the mill in 1884. The original burned and Hodgson built a new one in 1894 and, in 1898, his brother George Hodgson became operator and part owner of the mill.
The mill was built over a spring that is reported to produce 28,900,000 gallons of water a day. This water stays a constant 58 degrees year round.

Howe Bridge Cotton Spinning Co was registered in 1868 and built four mills in Atherton. By 1891 it was the fourth largest cotton spinning firm in Lancashire and by 1922 had raised capacity to 700,000 spindles. The last mill, seen here in the background, was built in 1919. It closed as a textile factory in early 1999.

Pinkerton mill on the Teeswater river in Pinkerton, Brockton, Bruce County. The original grist mill on this site was built in the 1850's by David Pinkerton. But fire and mills have historically had a fatal attraction to each other and this one is no exception. The first mill burnt in 1896. The second mill burnt down in 1928. This present mill closed down operations as a feed mill in 1999.

This is the mill building at the Kennecott Copper mine. The park service literature indicates it is the largest wooden building in the world.
The Kennecott Copper mine opened in 1911 and closed in 1938 and produced approximately 600,000 tons of copper and is the source of much of the wealth of JP Morgan and the Guggenhiems.

Falls Mill is located in tiny Belvidere, Tennessee. Built on Factory Creek in 1873, it has been a spinning mill, a textile mill, a cotton gin, and a woodworking shop before becoming a grist mill in the late 1960's. The mill dam was built just above two lovely waterfalls that tumble into a small canyon. It's a lovely place well worth a visit.

I was one of a handful of local photographers given access to the old Temple Mill warehouse in Holbeck a few weeks ago (i've only just now had chance to process them).
The building was originally built as a flax mill for John Marshall, founder of the Leeds flax industry and an entrepreneur of the industrial revolution.
It was designed by egyptologist and architect Joseph Bonomi Jun to be a direct copy of the Temple of Horus at Edfu, Egypt.
As temperature and humidity were very important to the flax industry, the building had a quirky way of maintaining that - the roof was covered in earth and grass, where they had sheep to keep the grass length down!
More recently, until a couple of years ago the site was used by Kays Catalogue as an order fulfilment warehouse, but since then has been left dormant and started to decay.
The site is now undergoing a major redevelopment to turn it into an art space - this was the last chance to document it's current state before the builders move in.

View of the Mill Springs Battlefield in Kentucky. On January 19, 1862 Confederate forces under the command of Gen. Felix Zollicoffer emerged from a wooded ravine and intended to strike the Union army's left flank. Zollicoffer, thinking that the troops were being subjected to friendly fire by another Confederate force at the split rail fence boldly rode up to inform them of their error. Unfortunately for Zollicoffer, the forces behind the fence were Union and as he tried to retreat he was met with a pistol shot that ended his life.

"BRECONSHIRE. BUCKLAND MILL.
This dismantled mill on the Usk, placed at Glawcoed at one of the most romantic and
picturesque spots in our beautiful county, has always had an interest for me. The fall of
the river over the rough, irregular, and steep ledges of the rich-coloured old red-sandstone
rocks is strikingly grand ; and the deserted mill just above, in full sight, with its shattered
and spectre-like wheel, becomes part and parcel of Nature's work of beauty.
And the picnics there in the days of my youth ! The ladies drank the pure water of
the river, and the gentlemen placed carefully their wine bottles in the rocky eddies to cool ;
and by-and-bye, when the repast was over, the rich mellow voice of Major Stretton would
be heard in his favourite hunting song of "My Brave old Hound!" These, the Llan-
gynider rocks, near Bucklaud Old Mill, were the convenient halfway meeting-place for
pleasure parties in summer time, for the gentlefolk of Brecon and neighbourhood, and of
the Vale of Crickhowell.
Very little of the ancient history of this mill most of the mills in Brecoushire possess
a very early origin have I been able to glean. Apparently, it was called in old
documents, Maesygwaelod Mill. In 1827 it seems to have been known as simply
Buckland Mill; and I have a letter now before me, of September 10th in that year, from
Mr. Thomas Abraham, of Talybont, making application for the tenancy :
" Being informed that Buckland Mill is to let by you, 1 should like to tack (sic) it for
a term of years on a repairing lease, By your finding Timber for the work."
The mill was very inaccessibly placed for wheel traffic, though that mattered little for
horses with pack-saddles. It was near to Llanddutty ford, on the Usk, and no doubt had
custom from both sides of the river, especially in dry seasons, when its unfailing water
supply gave it an advantage over other country mills.
It will be remembered that Mr. Thynue Howe Gwynne, the owner of Bnckland Mill,
died in 1826, and probably the falling into disrepair of the mill, and its ceasing to be let,
dates from that period not earlier. "
Originally Higher Mill, Helmshore Mills Textile Museum is a water-powered fulling mill and a 19th century condenser cotton spinning mill, with working machinery. Built by the Turners in 1789, and rescued from dereliction by Derek Pilkington and Chris Aspin in the 1960s, it is now managed by Lancashire County Council Museums Service and details the changes made in textile technology over the last three hundred years through the use of interactive displays. Mill ponds, weirs, sluice gates and an aqueduct are also part of the museum as well as a 19th century working waterwheel, fulling stocks and other machinery associated with the finishing of woollen cloth, an original Arkwright water frame, and a Hargreaves Spinning Jenny. It also houses a museum and bookshop selling, among other things, books on local textile history.

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!!!
