The tower mill in Willaston was built in 1800 by William Lightbound constructed by millwright Henry Gardener. At five storeys high it was the tallest windmill ever built on the Wirral peninsula. The mill was purchased by the Radfords in 1860, who invested significantly in updating the mill and machinery . A steam engine and additional stones were installed, bringing the total number of stones to ten In addition to local produced grain the Radfords brought grain from Birkenhead docks. Unfortunately financial problems led to the mill being repossessed in 1879, and in later years it was run producing flour snd animal feed. It ceased work in 1930.The mill was purchased by the Wirral Society in 1937 for preservation. In 1958 there was conversion to a house.It is build from red bricks and was capped with a timber top to support the sails. The out buildings have today been renovated and are occupied as private residences.

Taken at the Mill of Kintail near Almonte. This is the way up from the parlor to the loft where various sculptures of Dr Tait McKenzie are displayed. In addition to his sculpting, Dr McKenzie "gained world acclaim for his pioneering work in preventive and rehabilitative medicine. Many of the exercises massage and hydrotherapy treatments he developed are still in use by physiotherapists today."

This place has 3 nice features all in the same location. A Mill, covered bridge, and waterfall.
Thanks to Jennifer Starkey for the location recommendation.
Originally, this was Jeremiah Ambler & Sons, Ltd, Midland Mills, Bradford, Combers, spinners and weavers of all kinds of wool and hair. The company itself was established in 1783, but did not move here until nearly a hundred years later in 1871 when this place was built. Jeremiah himself is buried in nearby Undercliffe cemetery. Leeds University hold many of the early business records for here. More recently this place was British Mohair Supplies Limited, and it closed eleven years ago. Today, little remains.
I say little remains. This part of the mill is heroin central. Needles and foil are scattered on the floor everywhere, along with blankets and old coats.I normally ignore the remnants of drug taking, but we spent some time looking. It was a pretty sobering sight. It's not on T.V, or in a film. It was clear that this was the bottom rung of the ladder of life. There was no other step down, except to death. Luckily, there was no one at home today, but there has been recently. Midland Mills is earmarked for flats. At sometime in the last 5 years, the weaving sheds have gone.
Sooner or later, Midland Mills will be converted into upmarket apartments, and the last whispers of its industrial past silenced with laminate flooring and plasterboard. In the meantime it waits for the developers, trashed, empty and dangerous. I loved it.

Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright. From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. The site presents a remarkable picture of an early textile factory complex and is Grade 1 Listed. It is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
I had heard this old mill makes an interesting visit, but really, I was blown away when I saw it. It’s huge (the wheel is 36 feet), majestic, and truly beautiful. It’s in a splendid location, between the charming wine country towns of St Helena and Calistoga, in a lovely forested area. The hosts are charming and interesting. Highly recommended. You can either park at the Bale Mill parking lot or (as I did) hike the History Trail from Bothe-Napa Valley State Park to the mill (2+ miles round trip).

‘Built in 1846 by Edward Turner Bale, this fully restored water-powered grist mill still grinds grain. In the late 1800s, Napa Valley farmers brought their grain to the mill where it was placed into the boot of an elevator to be mechanically transported upstairs to be cleaned and sifted by various types of equipment – a technical wonder for the Pioneers. The slow turning of the old grind stones gives the fresh meal a special quality for making cornbread, yellowbread, shortening bread and spoon bread. As old timers put it, “When meal comes to you that way, like the heated underside of a settin’ hen, it bakes bread that makes city bread taste like cardboard.”’

What looks to be an abandoned mill of some sort in Livingston Manor, NY along the old O&W railroad main line.
Mill Hill Station opened in 1871, The Mill Hill terminus comprised of a station house, platform, goods shed, engine shed, carriage shed and tank stand, a 25’ turntable and pits.
In 1881, sheep yards were erected at Mill Hill as well as a new station master’s residence after complaints about the original building. The old station master’s residence became the refreshment rooms in 1883.
Upon the opening of Warwick East Railway Station, many changes quickly took place at Mill Hill Station. The Commissioner for Railways opened the new sandstone station and goods shed at East Warwick on 3rd January 1888.
It wasn’t long before East Warwick became the new Warwick Terminus and the original 'Warwick' station was renamed 'Mill Hill'.
Most of Mill Hill’s infrastructure was moved to other stations. Passenger traffic and freight traffic continued for many years, and Mill Hill is an important chapter in Warwick’s History
Mill Hill was closed as an official station on Friday, 30th May, 1975.
This mill was built in 1500 and rebuilt in 1867. It was still functioning as a flour mill until the 1990s but now sadly lies derelict with the water wheel broken.

"The contestants were asked to style after a famous villain. It can be a Disney villain or any other known 'bad guy or gal' in history.An exact replica of the character is not needed. We are looking for creative ways to style and mix and match to capture the essence of the villain. Have fun with these choices and bring us your best bad boy/girl next week!By the way, it is forbidden to portray Frolic Mills as a villain ... He is a nice guy despite what may be written on some public bathrooms."

The Anthony Mill, at Reilly Townsite, was built in 1883. To suppy water to operate the mill, as well as the town of Reilly, a pipeline was laid from Water Canyon over five miles away. In September of 1883 the stamp mill was fired up for the first time, and promptly broke down when a water pump failed.
I took this photo of the mill foundation wall because I thought it has held up remarkable well (it's 130 years old!). And look at that stone work! The wall is perfectly straight and the corner as sharp as a knife.
Big Otter Mill holds an interesting history, dating all the way back to 1785, when Revolutionary War veteran Joseph Hardy, Sr. received permission to construct a mill at this site from the county. Since then, the mill has been reconstruction two times and switched hands several times. Before earning the namesake of Big Otter, this mill was referred to as the Forbes Mill named after former mill owner Reed Forbes.
Big Otter Mill is located in Bedford County, Virginia (outside of Lynchburg) and can be found going North on Big Island Hwy from the Town of Bedford.
More information about the mill can be found at www.bigottermill.com/
