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?
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.
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.
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.

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.

From 'Historical Memoranda of Breconshire' by John Lloyd, 1904.
"BRECONSHIRE. BUCKLAND MILL.
This dismantled mill on the Usk, placed at Glawcoed at one of the most romantic and
picturesque spots in our beautiful county, has always had an interest for me. The fall of
the river over the rough, irregular, and steep ledges of the rich-coloured old red-sandstone
rocks is strikingly grand ; and the deserted mill just above, in full sight, with its shattered
and spectre-like wheel, becomes part and parcel of Nature's work of beauty.
And the picnics there in the days of my youth ! The ladies drank the pure water of
the river, and the gentlemen placed carefully their wine bottles in the rocky eddies to cool ;
and by-and-bye, when the repast was over, the rich mellow voice of Major Stretton would
be heard in his favourite hunting song of "My Brave old Hound!" These, the Llan-
gynider rocks, near Bucklaud Old Mill, were the convenient halfway meeting-place for
pleasure parties in summer time, for the gentlefolk of Brecon and neighbourhood, and of
the Vale of Crickhowell.
Very little of the ancient history of this mill most of the mills in Brecoushire possess
a very early origin have I been able to glean. Apparently, it was called in old
documents, Maesygwaelod Mill. In 1827 it seems to have been known as simply
Buckland Mill; and I have a letter now before me, of September 10th in that year, from
Mr. Thomas Abraham, of Talybont, making application for the tenancy :
" Being informed that Buckland Mill is to let by you, 1 should like to tack (sic) it for
a term of years on a repairing lease, By your finding Timber for the work."
The mill was very inaccessibly placed for wheel traffic, though that mattered little for
horses with pack-saddles. It was near to Llanddutty ford, on the Usk, and no doubt had
custom from both sides of the river, especially in dry seasons, when its unfailing water
supply gave it an advantage over other country mills.
It will be remembered that Mr. Thynue Howe Gwynne, the owner of Bnckland Mill,
died in 1826, and probably the falling into disrepair of the mill, and its ceasing to be let,
dates from that period not earlier. "
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.

The Darnley Grist Mill was named after Lord Darnley, a famous ancestor of James Crook. The mill was constructed between 1811 and 1813. The mill was made of stone from a quarry near morden's mills downstream. Originally, the building was square and three storeys high.
A nine-metre-high overshot waterwheel was mounted on the outside wall beside spencer creek. Water was drawn over the wheel to power the mill. Inside the building were four sets of grindstones used for feed and flour production.
After James Crook's death in 1860, the mill was sold to James Stutt and Robert Sanderson who converted it into a paper mill. After Stutt bought out Sanderson in 1880, he added a steam boiler to heat water for paper making and to have an alternative power source. On July 9th, 1885, the boiler exploded, causing damage to the mill and killing two men.
While leased to the Greensville Paper Company in the 1930's, the wooden floors were replaced by concrete. In 1943, the mill was gutted by a fire and left in ruins.
