Lilycroft Road elevation.
The largest and most imposing of the Bradford mills and a major landmark. The scale, richness of decoration and the unique chimney make Manningham Mills the grandest industrial monument of the worsted trade.

Brownfields Mill, Ancoats, Manchester, England is a Grade II* listed building. It was constructed in 1825 and served as a room and power mill. From 1910 it was used as a factory for the AVRO aircraft manufacturer, founded by A.V. Roe.
The first all-British aircraft to fly was the Roe 1 triplane constructed by A.V. Roe, the year before AVRO was founded. At Brownfields Mill A.V. Roe started production of some of the earliest British planes – the world’s first cabin monoplane Avro Type D and the military Type 500.

Lister's Mill (otherwise known as Manningham Mills) was the largest silk factory in the world. It is located in the Manningham district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK and was built by Samuel Cunliffe Lister to replace the original Manningham Mills that were destroyed by fire in 1871. The mill is a Grade II* listed building, built in the Italianate style of Victorian architecture.
At its height, Lister's employed 11,000 men, women and children - manufacturing high-quality textiles such as velvet and silk. It supplied 1,000 yards (910 m) of velvet for King George V's coronation and in 1976 new velvet curtains for the President Ford White House. The 1890-91 strike at the mill was important in the establishment of the Independent Labour Party which later helped found the modern-day Labour Party. On completion in 1873, Lister's Mill was the largest textile mill in North England. Floor space in the mill amounts to 27 acres (109,000 m²), and its imposing shape remains a dominant feature of the Bradford skyline. The chimney of the mill is 255 feet (78 m) high, and can be seen from just about anywhere in Bradford.
Powering all the machinery switched over to electricity in 1934. Before that huge steam boilers drove the mill. Every week the boilers consumed 1,000 tons of coal brought in on company rail wagons from the company collieries near Pontefract. Water was also vital in the process and the company had its own supply network including a large covered reservoir on-site (now in 2006 that area is a piazza and underground car park).
During World War II Lister's produced 1,330 miles (2,140 km) of real parachute silk, 284 miles (457 km) of flame-proof wool, 50 miles (80 km) of khaki battledress and 4,430 miles (7,130 km) of parachute cord.
Vanstone mill on Bowmanville Creek in Bowmanville, Municipality of Clarington, Durham Region, Ontario. This historic grist mill was built around 1850. Samuel Vanstone rented the mill in 1856 when he moved his operations from Tyrone. His son, Jabez bought the mill around 1886. The mill stayed in the Vanstone family until it ceased operations in 1975. It now houses several businesses. The water intake pipe is still there to the left at the base of the building. If you feel adventurous and want to see the mill from the river's edge where this photo was taken, don't climb down at the bridge. There is an easier way: Park your car in the park along the riverside further south from the bridge. There is a trail along the river that will lead you back underneath the bridge to this spot.

The Old Mill was at peak this weekend. Of course, it was flooded with people taking pictures. Patience is not often my strongpoint, but it paid off as I waited to people to leave and capture these shots.

The floating pontoon is light painted to add some foreground, and the reflection of Kings Mill Hospital in the background. Unfortunately a cloud sky, so a reddish tint to the sky.

Displayed at Mill Cottage, built in 1866, Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. The toys belonged to the six Bishop children who lived in the house - Sidney b1869; Ethel b1871; William b1873; Amy b1876; Geoffrey b1887 and Myles b1890.
These two wooden arks are typical examples of flat bottomed, straw work arks, made in Germany in 19th century (usually the Erzgebirge region). The decoration is of fine veneer of multi coloured slivers of wood looking like straw. The carved wooden figures represent Noah, his wife and sons. The animals (originally many hundreds, in pairs like in the Bible story) were made by first turning a piece of wood to make a doughnut shape with the outside surface representing the animal. The 'doughnut' was then cut into sections to make many versions of that particular animal. They then had individual tails and ears etc added and painted.
These toys were designed to be played with only on Sundays (because of their Biblical theme) when the more religious families in the 19th century frowned on playing with toys or having fun on the Sabbath.

Mill Ruins Park is a park in downtown Minneapolis, standing on the west side of Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River. The park interprets the history of flour milling in Minneapolis and shows the ruins of several flour mills that were abandoned. The park is the result of an archaeological study of the Saint Anthony Falls Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
Along with the remains of several flour mills and other industrial buildings, the park also contains two stone piers and several iron girder piers that held a trestle for the Minneapolis Eastern Railroad. The tailraces from the waterpower canal are also clearly visible, and the water flow has been restored through the canal. Signs posted along the walkways interpret the ruins and the history of the area.
Be carefully if you go along on the attic.
The mill building are full of holes of all sizes and shapes, and sometimes several floors deep
Examination of papers scattered around show a date of abandonment in 1996 - guessing when the CDPA went into effect and the Preserve was created.
