Doubly mothballed.
The Silk Mill Museum Derby is currently “mothballed” and these are some of the stores containing things not on display
This features a (bubble wrapped) collection of Qualcast mowers!
Taken on a GLAMDerby behind the scenes visit.
This is the back side of the mill. That large pile of reddish skins is from a couple days of milling coffee.
Even though I visit the mill all the time, I still like this picture because I think it gives a good feeling of what this old coffee mill is like.

Sandford Mill is Chelmsford's old waterworks, situated on the River Chelmer to the south of Chelmer Village. In the waterworks buildings Chelmsford Museums Service stores its industrial collections and archives, but Sandford Mill is much more than a museum store:
A veiw of the Keathbank mill from the foot bridge.
Near Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland.
During the 19th century, there were 12 mills along the River Ericht, with flax spinning being overtaken by jute from the 1850s.
The mill was rebuilt with a wheel at one end an engine at the other in 1865, with American Civil War profits.
Dundee engineers (J & C Carmichael) provided the power plant
Single cylinder horizontal engine, 22" cylinder, 4' stroke, 17' flywheel, later drop valves.
Keathbank has/or had Scotland's largest water wheefitted cica 1865, by J Kerr (Dundee), 14' wide, 18' diameter, 4 sets cast-iron spokes.
Ruston & Hornsby Diesel Engine added circa 1937.
The declining textile industry meant gradual closure of all but Keathbank which finally closed as a working mill in 1979.
Sir John Mills, aged nearly 70, in the cameo role of ‘Michael,’ on Ryan’s Daughter, filmed in 1970 on Noordhoek’s Long Beach
In 1948, while in the Navy, I saw a film which was to have a lasting effect on my life.
It was Boulting’s production of Scott of the Antarctic with Sir John Mills playing my school-boy hero Robert Falcon Scott, the legendary British polar explorer. Although I was still a young man, I had already been to the Southern ocean, to Marion Island, and latitudes beyond. I had experienced first hand, and could identify with, what is so poignantly portrayed in the film. Perhaps because of all this, Sir John became forever, my real, live “Scott.”
Little did I know, all those years ago, that I would one day not only have the honour to meet him, get to know him a little, but also photograph him.
In 1965, because I needed a break from stills photography I joined SATOUR as their chief photographer and some years later, in 1970, I happened to be on assignment in Cape Town for the organisation. I’d also heard that, co-incidentally, my other hero, the great film director David Lean, was in town making the movie Ryan’s Daughter at Noordhoek’s Long Beach.
As I had just finished my other SATOUR assignment, I decided to get some pictures of the filming for our publicity journalist. After meeting with the film’s publicist, I was escourted onto the set to, at last, meet the great Mr. Lean.
As we approached three men who were having a discussion with their backs to us, one of whom I recognised as Lean, the publicist tapped David lightly and said, “ Excuse me David, this is Bob Martin, SATOUR’s photographer, who is going to do a few pictures on the set for his head-office in Pretoria, I hope that’s OK?”
The man I’d not recognised turned around and beamed, “Hey Bob, what are you doing here? What a surprise!” It was none other than my good old friend on Zulu, Charles Parker the famous prosthetic makeup specialist who, after we’d ‘wrapped’ Zulu, I’d not seen for seven years. Charlie was, I learned, on the picture to do John Mills’ special makeup as ‘Michael’ (the village simpleton in the film.) It was so good to see him, especially as he went on to re-introduce me to David, rather flamboyantly. “This guy, David, is one of the best stills-men I’ve ever worked with,” said Charlie.
I am unashamed to admit that I actually blushed. It was a very good feeling and I will never forget it, or dear Charlie, who has now sadly passed on.
I had arrived when their filming was all but complete, except for the odd ‘inter-cut’ shot but, because they were running overtime on their schedule, their unit stills camera man had had to go back to the UK to start work on another film.
“Would you like a job for a week” said David Lean, my hero of Lawrence of Arabia”.
“Would I?” I said.
After I’d arranged my leave from SATOUR, I hung around the set shooting the odd pictures they needed and Sir John and I became friends during that somewhat surreal week. He was a warm person and I, in turn, warmed towards him immediately. He and his lovely wife Hailey-Bell, were, however, not only warm, but gentle.
I got to take three or four pictures of my boyhood hero, the ‘real’ Scott of the Antarctic, during that week, including this one. Only this time he was in the cameo role of ‘Michael,’ in Ryan’s Daughter.
It was good enough for me.
Mill Lake in Abbotsford is a great location for a stroll. A two kilometer path circles the lake where you can enjoy a variety of birds that call the area home.

When Edwin Boston Mabry (1867-1936) built his water powered mill in Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains, he had no way of knowing it would become one of the most photographed places in the United States.
The gristmill and sawmill have been restored by park naturalists in order that visitors might see live exhibits, a real mill and a working miller to demonstrate the milling process. The grounds of the mill include other interpretive media all designed to tell about mountain industry. The Matthews Cabin is an outstanding example of mountain architecture and workmanship and offers an intriguing look into the tanning and shoemaking crafts. There is also a whiskey still, a sorghum mill and a working blacksmith shop.
Ed Mabry left no children, but his legacy lives on reflecting the self-sufficiency and hard work of our ancestors on the Blue Ridge.
Photos taken upon a visit to the old Paper Mill location in Harriman, Tennessee, showing the condition of the site, as it was in 2009, 2010, and 2014. Older photos appears at the top of the set.
The Clinch River Corporation site consists of approximately 30.5 acres and is located on the banks of the Emory River/Watts Bar Reservoir in Harriman, Tennessee.
The Clinch River Corporation site operated as a pulp and paper mill from 1929 until 2002 under various management companies.
The following companies owned and/or operated the paper and pulp mill throughout its operational history: the Mead Corporation, Inc.; the Harriman Paperboard Corporation; the Clinch River
Corporation; the Gibson Group; Mid-South Cogeneration, Inc.; Power Paper, Inc.; Power Paper, Limited; Power Paper Recycling, Inc.; and American Kraft Mills of Tennessee, LLC.
Hodgson Mill is described as the most photographed mill in Missouri. I know that Alley mill has to be a close 2nd. The mill now serves as a gift shop.

Stanley Mills is one the best-preserved relics of the 18th-century Industrial Revolution. It was established as a cotton mill by local merchants, with support from the English cotton baron Richard Arkwright. Textiles were produced here for 200 years.The mills were built in 1786 at a hairpin bend in the River Tay, where tremendous water-power was available. Machinery was powered initially by water wheels, and latterly by electricity generated by water-powered turbines. As the market changed and new technologies developed, buildings were added, adapted, expanded, shut down, reopened and demolished.The visitor centre tells the stories of those who worked there and the products they made. The superb interactive displays let you discover if your fingers are as nimble as a child labourer’s or compete to see if you are tough enough in business to make the mills profitable. Hear the clamour of the factory floor and see how engineers harnessed the energy of the Tay as well as the machinery that turned raw cotton into products sold around the world. The building to the left is the old gatehouse and the main mill was on the right. The building at the rear was also part of the mill but is now converted into luxury flats
Dalton Mills was once the largest textile mill in the region, employing over 2000 workers. It was built by Joseph Craven in 1869, replacing the original mill which was owned by Rachel Leach in the 1780's.
The mill was named Dalton Mills after the manager employed by Rachel Leach, a man called Dalton.
In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
As the textile industry declined, the fortunes of Dalton Mills changed and up until 2004, it had been virtually empty for almost a decade. John Craven, the great-great grandson of Joseph, who had built the mill, eventually chose to sell Dalton Mills to Magna Holdings, to ensure it’s survival.
Part of the renovation of the Clock Tower has included restarting the landmark clock which has not ticked for 25 years. In the mill's heyday, thousands of workers relied on the clock to get to work on time, but the hands had not moved for a quarter of a century. Last year Magna Holdings repaired the clock, and illuminated the faces, so it can display the time to the whole of Dalton Lane again.
Built in 1932 by the Royal Victoria Dock in East London, Spiller's Millennium Mill was the largest flour mill in Britain.
This area of the docklands was once the centre of London's flour milling industry, and both the Co-operative Welfare Society and Rank Hovis used to have similar mills to this one in the locality

A worn out mill wheel leaning onto the base of the mill. The U-shaped stone is a bearing that the main axle of a windmill rests on.
The mill is named Kullamöllan. It is located just outside Lövestad in the southernmost province of Sweden - Skåne.
Eling Tide Mill, situated on an artificial causeway in Eling in Hampshire, England, is the sole remaining operating tide mill in the UK. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although the current dam was rebuilt roughly 200 years ago after storm damage.
The mill has a pair of independent waterwheels designed to drive a millstone each. One wheel runs, the other is kept as a static exhibit. The running wheel and its milling and other mechanisms are encased for safety of miller and visitors, the static wheel is immobile and kept that way to show visitors the detail that is obscured by the running mechanism's safety enclosures. The mill can be productive for between five and seven hours each day
blue skies and great temperatures that's what the weather is like in May!!!
If not... I'm working most of the time!

It was a very bright day, so have tweaked in Lightroom, to subdue the highlights and raise the shadows
Lindsay House (1863) Snuff Mill Road, pre-dates most Glasgow tenements.Cathcart Mill and the Old Bridge (also known as Snuff Mill Bridge)over the White Cart Water .The date of the bridge's construction is uncertain but it was probably erected in the 18th century using masonry from an earlier one. A few yards south of the bridge stood a corn and wheat mill and next to it stood Millholm Mill. Originally built as a paper mill, Millholm was converted into a snuff mill at the height of the tobacco trade. When the tobacco boom years were over Millholm reverted to its former use and by 1835 was once more a paper mill. The bridge has a datestone of 1624 incorporated in 18th-century reconstruction.
