For many years known as 'The Mill Tavern' and bought by the Wadworth Brewery from Punch Taverns in 2015. Wadworth have described it as their first pub in Surrey, but although named after the mill from which Shottermill in Surrey gets its name, both the mill and pub are in West Sussex.
When I was over at my Dad's today he showed me these pics which he took from glass plates owned by an elderly relative. They show the inside of a paper mill, we think in Burntisland in Fife. Someone might have a use for them or have more info?
A cold evening just after sunset. The waterfall in summer when milling is under way is a trickle, but rain, sleet and snow melt have created a torrent.
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.
These old mills are part of a complex that has been turned into a casino and will be turned into a museum. For now, they are behind steel fences and the best view we could get was from Nisky Hill Cemetery behind them. From a distance, they look like a dark and broody version of the Emerald City of Oz.
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.
"Situated at the northwest corner of Coral and E. Hagert Streets in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, Beatty’s Mills Factory Building, constructed in 1886, stands as an intact example of late 19th century textile mill architecture. "

The mill was built some time around 1875 (some sources say 1880) to drain Horning marsh into the river Ant and make the fields on the west bank of the river suitable for grazing livestock. It was built by William Rust, a millwright from Great Yarmouth. Rust was also responsible for the drainage mill at Potter Heigham, erected at the same time.
The mill stands 31 feet high and has a tower of brick, divided internally into two floors, with a wooden main shaft. It is topped with a boat-shaped weatherboarded cap, with four double shuttered sails. Each sail is divided into seven bays. The mill direction is aided by a six-bladed fantail. The sails drive a unique double scoop wheel, which could be set to a low or high gear.
Turf Fen mill went out of service in 1920 when the fields were no longer used to graze livestock. In 1976 the mill was taken over by the Norfolk Windmills Trust, who began a restoration project. The mill was fitted with a new cap and sails, and restoration was completed in 1986. In 2007 trainee millwrights fitted new wooden paddles to the scoop wheel.
The easiest way to view the mill is to follow the footpath beside the mooring on the riverside, south from Toad Hole Cottage Museum and the How Hill centre. The mill is easily visible from the path, and you can get an unobstructed view of the back of the mill from the east bank at any time.

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.

Todmorden mills near the Don river in Toronto, Ontario. The mill built in 1825 was originally a lumber mill operated by Isaiah Skinner and family up to 1855 when it was sold to the Taylor family who converted it to a paper mill. The mill closed in the 1920's when it was converted into a riding stable. During the second war, this site served as a small German prisoner of war camp. The Don river once flowed through this site but it was diverted when the Don Valley Parkway was built. The mill is now a historic museum. Todmorden is named after a town in England.
The famous Spillers Millenium Mills, disused since 1984 (although some sources state other years). Most of the derelict industrial buildings have been demolished, but this huge building still stands, alongside part of the old Rank Hovis which is tiny in comparison.
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.
