The Mill Avon was formed by monks from Tewkesbury Abbey by diverting part of the Avon through the town. The channel was dug by the monks so that the mill could be built nearer their abbey. This also had the effect of creating an 'island' surrounded by the Severn, Avon, and Mill Avon, which is where this photo was taken from.
"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. "

This park, built as a replacement for some of the parkland lost in the construction of the new Yankee Stadium, is located just across the street from the Gateway Center, and, like Gateway, sits on land once occupied by the Bronx Terminal Market.
The name of the park refers to the mill pond that once existed on the Harlem River, created by Robert Macomb in 1814 as a reservoir for his gristmill. He built a dam across the river, topped by a toll bridge, at the location where the white truss bridge in the background (named, appropriately, the Macombs Dam Bridge) currently spans the Harlem. In authorizing the dam, the state legislature required that it be navigable by boats, and a small lock was built for this purpose. Macomb, however, made no effort to maintain the lock, and the river was soon rendered impassable. The dam changed hands a few years later, but the new owners did nothing to restore the river's navigability.
The citizens of the area were furious about the blockage of the Harlem, and in 1838, after consulting with legal experts, they devised a plan to remedy the situation. The leader of the group, Lewis G. Morris, chartered a coal ship from New Jersey to make a delivery to his property north of the dam, knowing, of course, that such a trip would be impossible. When the ship arrived at the dam, the captain requested that the draw be opened so that he could continue on his way. The bridgekeeper informed him that there was no draw to open and that the vessel would be unable to pass.
At this point, Morris, along with dozens of local men, emerged from the shadows where they had gathered and proceeded to tear a hole in the dam large enough to accommodate the ship. The owners of the dam filed a suit against Morris, but he came out victorious when the courts agreed with him that the dam constituted a "public nuisance" in its obstruction of the river. This 1900 NY Times article provides a very colorful account of the whole affair.
Off in the distance, you can see our favorite set of quadruplets. And, in case you were wondering, the structure that looks like a boardwalk running along the water is actually a single-track rail line called the Oak Point Link.

Sunset at a local landmark, Stevington Mill. Again early in my "career" so the silhouette was a bit more luck than judgement.
I had recently aquired my first L lens (24-105mm) and this was one of my early shots with it. Other than what the camera has done internally, no sharpening has been added to this shot.

From "Stanley Iron Slitting Mill” (St Helens Council leaflet):
“By 1828 the Iron Slitting Mill had been demolished and replaced with a Corn Mill. The Corn Mill only required one waterwheel, so the second wheel pit was filled in. The culvert that Stanley Bank Water now flows through was also built around this time. The Corn Mill was itself demolished around 1900...”
Seen here, in the background, are the walls of another building thought to have been constructed when the Corn Mill was operating. It is divided into lined 'cells' with a drain in the middle, suggesting a process that used large quantities of water. Animal tethering rings found in 1982 would seem to indicate a tannery or similar.

Watch the video: youtu.be/zHtguGxR3iM Walk over to the Red Lion and you'll find flour milled according to the craft of generations. The miller, Willem Roose, does it for love - for the craft, for the sounds of the windmill and for the thrill of harvesting the wind. His windmill, the Red Lion, was built in 1727 and restored in the 1980s. Unlike other restored windmills, the Red Lion works just like it did when it was first built. There are no modern simplifications inside. It is a truly authentic, living mill.
Mr. Roose sells his flour in a little attached shop and doesn't earn much money for his work, but his knowledge for the craft is beautiful to watch in action.
In a day when most people compromise their passions and dreams in exchange for a steady but boring day job, Mr. Roose is the embodiment of passion for life.

There is a haze of what looks like smog in the background as "Bombardier" branded 221115 heads south at Barrow Mill with the 10.51 Edinburgh - Euston via Birmingham. In a sign of changing times, 221115 has lost the "Virgin" badge.

I managed to get inside the windmill and take a look at the restoration work and the milling wheels. Most interesting.
It's hard to see at web size, but there is a snake on the opposite side too. I haven't ID'd it yet. I wasn't looking for wildlife this day, just enjoying the rocks and cascades...
Near Holtwood, PA.
Molson grist mill on the Ganaraska River in Port Hope, Northumberland county, Ontario. It was built around 1850 and is currently used as a private art school. Thomas Molson the son of John Molson the founder of Molson breweries in Montreal bought the mill in 1851 when he wanted to expand into Upper Canada. It had six runs of stones and was able to turn out 300 barrels of flour a day. It already ceased operations at the end of the 19th century. The building was used as a summer art school as far back as 1924 when it was purchased by the Canadian artist J.W. Beatty, an associate of members of the famous Group of Seven. When I was there, the river behind was teeming with salmon and trout waiting to climb the fish ladder on the side of the dam.
On the 21st of January, 1905, the worst nightmate of any mill owner came true, as fire ripped through Old Lane Mill, Halifax. It was the first mill fire of the year, but before the end, another three mills in a ten mile radius were badly damaged by fire.
The first mill on the site was recorded in 1816, but this one was built in 1825. Two years later, in 1827, owner Akroyd built the first Jacquard looms in Britain, and the mill was iron-framed and fitted with stone floors – the first in any British mill – to support the machinery.
Today those floors are still there, stripped of machinery, but remants of old looms and chutes are still there.
Apparently the nightwatchman used to fire a blunderbuss each night to signal he was on duty. Thankfully, he is no longer there...
Temple Mill was part of John Marshalls flax spinning complex built between 1838-41. The frontage of the mill was based on the Temple of Edfu at Horus in Egypt
One unusual feature of the building was a grass covered roof designed to retain humidity in the flax mill in order to prevent the linen thread from becoming dried out and unmanageable. Sheep used to graze on the grass-covered roof. Local tradition suggests this practice ended when a sheep fell through a skylight into the machinery below. It was said that when it was built the area below this roof was the the biggest single room in the world.
