This well worn "Little Mill Brick Co Pontypool" die was photographed at the Usk Museum of Rural Life, Usk, Monmouthshire. It would appear that brick making at Little Mill dates back to at least 1850. Some Burgoyne bricks are faintly embossed in small lettering with "Estb 1850", and another, probably later commemorative brick, is incised "Little Mill, Estb 1850". The works was alongside the Newport and Hereford line at Little Mill Junction, where a line branched off eastwards through Usk into Gloucestershire. A spur into the works was laid in 1869 when the owner was given as a CH Leigh. The 1882 OS map, and subsequent editions until 1920, give the works as "Bryn Tovey Brick Works" (from the nearby Bryn Tovey Wood); from 1920 to 1988, it is marked the "Little Mill Brick Works".
Between 1910 and 1920, Lougher who took over the works from the Burgoynes, changed the name to "Little Mill Brick Co" and later it became a limited company. Kelly's for 1926, and all directories subsequently, use the name Little Mill Brick Co Ltd". Lougher himself died in 1948. The spur into the works was removed in 1966, doubtless a victim of the infamous Beeching Cuts. The firm continued into the 1980s, the last directory entry being the 1981 Industrial Directory of Wales. Today, the site is the Little Mill Go Kart Track.
Rhyddings Mill
DEMOLITION of a Grade II-listed mill building has begun today after the building was gutted by fire.
Firefighters were at the scene and a section of Rhyddings Street was closed off as the first section was knocked down by contractors.
The demolition of Rhyddings Mill, including the 100ft high chimney, is expected to take days due to the chimney’s height.
Contractors Phoenix Demolitions said a steeple jack would be needed to climb the chimney, erect scaffolding.
The chimney would then be demolished by dropping bricks from the top inside it.

Mill Hill Broadway Station, 26 April 2022. The original station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its London Extension. It was completely rebuilt in the 1960's in association with the construction of the adjacent M4 motorway. It has not worn well. Pictured is the station entrance within a covered bus station - one of the most unprepossessing and unwelcoming station entrances I have ever seen.
Sitting at my computer as the rain lashes down outside, my mind turns to sunny days when walking in the Peak National Park can be enjoyable rather than just damp.
On one such walk I passed Lumbhole Mill in Kettleshulme. This is a fine survival of a textile mill located in a fairly remote place to take advantage of water power. Erected during the 18th century as a candlewick (tufted cotton fabric) mill, the breast-shot wheel was connected to a steam beam engine c1830. This engine, built by Sherrat's of Salford, and the wheel both survive in situ. It has had a number of engineering and storage uses since textile manufacturing finished.

Brownfields Mill, Ancoats, Manchester, England is a Grade II* listed building. It was constructed in 1825 and served as a room and power mill. From 1910 it was used as a factory for the AVRO aircraft manufacturer, founded by A.V. Roe.
The first all-British aircraft to fly was the Roe 1 triplane constructed by A.V. Roe, the year before AVRO was founded. At Brownfields Mill A.V. Roe started production of some of the earliest British planes – the world’s first cabin monoplane Avro Type D and the military Type 500.

Cochran Mill is the site of a former water-powered grist mill. The miil has long since been destroyed but some of its remains are still visible. In addition to the grist mill site there are also numerous and very scenic hiking and horsebacking trails. The park is located adjacent to the privately funded Cochran Mill Nature Center in South Fulton County near Palmetto, Georgia (USA).

Vanstone mill on Bowmanville Creek in Bowmanville, Municipality of Clarington, Durham Region, Ontario. This historic grist mill was built around 1850. Samuel Vanstone rented the mill in 1856 when he moved his operations from Tyrone. His son, Jabez bought the mill around 1886. The mill stayed in the Vanstone family until it ceased operations in 1975. It now houses several businesses. The water intake pipe is still there to the left at the base of the building. If you feel adventurous and want to see the mill from the river's edge where this photo was taken, don't climb down at the bridge. There is an easier way: Park your car in the park along the riverside further south from the bridge. There is a trail along the river that will lead you back underneath the bridge to this spot.

Chesterton Windmill is a Grade 1 listed 17th-century cylindrical stone tower windmill with an arched base. This unique windmill stands on six stone pillars, supporting two raised floors. It was built in 1632, and worked until 1910 when its machinery broke down. Amazing what you can see and do whilst waiting for the grandchildren to finish school!
