The Mill at Gelligroes in Pontllanfraith dates back to approximately 1625. There have been several improvements made including a water powered generator which was built in 1908 to provide electricity for the Mill and the house. A major restoration was made in 1993, and the mill now incorporates a candle making factory.
It is currently undergoing refurbishment work.

There are so many lights around here that it's impossible to get anything but black sky. Disappointing, but this was the best one I got. It could probably do with a tighter crop actually, but meh.

Mabry Mill is a watermill located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. It is a tourist attraction mainly for the picturesque views of the mill itself. A short trail around the mill connects historical exhibits about life in rural Virginia. The trail allows visitors to view the gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop.
Mabry Mill became operational in 1905 and served as a gristmill until the mid-1930's. E.B. Mabry operated the mill from 1910 until 1935.
During peak seasons, demonstrations of crafts are given by National Park Service volunteers at Mabry Mill.

Gleaston Mill is a water-mill built in 1774 largely with stone from Gleaston Castle and Furness Abbey! It only stopped working in the 1960s and is currently under restoration.
This huge machine part is quietly rusting away on a patch of waste ground in Mill Street in Watchet. I've no idea what it is, but it is huge - taller than me! Perhaps it is an old part of the nearby paper mill, or maybe it had something to do with the Mineral Line Railway which ran near here.
Seems to be a 220V motor, not a 380V. Which is very good news, as it mean I can use it directly connected on a VFD converter.
Fannyside Mill was a corn mill and was built around 1763.
It was still a working mill right up until the early 1960's.
The mill was powered by water drawn from East Fannyside Loch.
An even older mill constructed from wood was on this site prior to the present stone building.

Chapman’s Mill, or as it is frequently called, Beverley's Mill, was believed to be the tallest gristmill in the United States and was built of stone in 1742 by Jonathan and Nathaniel Chapman in Thoroughfare Gap on the Prince William-Fauquier County line. This mill became instrumental in the development of the Shenandoah Valley as a corn and wheat growing region. Built on an early colonial road, the mill had quick access to the port of Alexandria where the flour was shipped abroad. By 1852 railroads facilitated the movement of flour and corn products to and from the mill.
In 1861 the Confederates used the mill as a meat curing center and distribution warehouse. When the Confederates withdrew from the area, they burned the mill and its contents to prevent it from falling into the hands of Northern forces.
Sharpshooters from both sides would use the five-story Beverley's Mill (then Chapman's Mill) to attack or defend the pass. On August 28, l862 the Battle of Thoroughfare Gap took place in and around the mill. Northern troops tried to prevent Generals Lee and Longstreet from marching through the Gap, from the west, to join other Confederate forces gathering for the Second Battle of Manassas. Their failure to stop the Confederates directly contributed to the southern victory of the Second Battle of Manassas. During the Spanish-American War 10,000 American troops were camped in and around Thoroughfare Gap for six months while waiting transport to battle.
His building all but destroyed, owner John Chapman sued the government for damages. He lost and his business never recovered. Mr. Chapman's family committed him to an asylum in 1864.
Beverley Mill's continued its milling functions until 1951. When Interstate 66 was built, the road was rerouted in order to leave Beverley's Mill undisturbed.

This is one of the main gates to the abandoned mill I found in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. I believe the mill was built in 1889. Its been abandoned now and falling into disrepair. However, their is security there to keep everyone out. Too bad, it looks like a great place to explore.
Pictures of Dutch windmills are well known all over the world. In most cases the mill is shown in its full glory. The picture of this windmill, Molen 'De Roos' in Delft, gives you only a detail. But even the detail is not complete; you can see the holes where normally the stocks of the sails are mounted.
The sails (and other parts of the mill) are temporarily removed to avoid damage by construction work very close to the mill.

The Shenandoah-Dives Mill, near Silverton, Colorado is located within the famous "San Juan Triangle" mining center of southwestern Colorado, which also includes the historic mining towns of Telluride and Ouray, and encompasses one of the most richly mineralized areas of North America. Fourteen thousand feet mountain peaks tower over the mill, which sits at the bottom of Arrastra Gulch in Baker's Park on the Animas River. The mill has retained an exceptional degree of historic integrity largely due to its isolation, due to its distance from major population centers, altitude, and severe winter climate. Currently, approximately 450 people reside year-round in Silverton.
Constructed in 1929, the Shenandoah-Dives Mill is the finest extant example of a selective flotation mill. This property illustrates the transformation of the mining and milling industry and the distinctive characteristics of the hard-rock milling process during the first half of the twentieth century. Flotation, introduced to the American mining industry in 1912, was an innovative concentration process that separated valuable minerals from complex ores. This process efficiently and economically concentrated complex ores that were practically impossible to treat by earlier methods. The flotation process solved the problem of diminishing high-grade ore supplies and allowed increased minerals production.
