Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright. From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. The site presents a remarkable picture of an early textile factory complex and is Grade 1 Listed. It is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
I had heard this old mill makes an interesting visit, but really, I was blown away when I saw it. It’s huge (the wheel is 36 feet), majestic, and truly beautiful. It’s in a splendid location, between the charming wine country towns of St Helena and Calistoga, in a lovely forested area. The hosts are charming and interesting. Highly recommended. You can either park at the Bale Mill parking lot or (as I did) hike the History Trail from Bothe-Napa Valley State Park to the mill (2+ miles round trip).

‘Built in 1846 by Edward Turner Bale, this fully restored water-powered grist mill still grinds grain. In the late 1800s, Napa Valley farmers brought their grain to the mill where it was placed into the boot of an elevator to be mechanically transported upstairs to be cleaned and sifted by various types of equipment – a technical wonder for the Pioneers. The slow turning of the old grind stones gives the fresh meal a special quality for making cornbread, yellowbread, shortening bread and spoon bread. As old timers put it, “When meal comes to you that way, like the heated underside of a settin’ hen, it bakes bread that makes city bread taste like cardboard.”’

What looks to be an abandoned mill of some sort in Livingston Manor, NY along the old O&W railroad main line.
Mill Hill Station opened in 1871, The Mill Hill terminus comprised of a station house, platform, goods shed, engine shed, carriage shed and tank stand, a 25’ turntable and pits.
In 1881, sheep yards were erected at Mill Hill as well as a new station master’s residence after complaints about the original building. The old station master’s residence became the refreshment rooms in 1883.
Upon the opening of Warwick East Railway Station, many changes quickly took place at Mill Hill Station. The Commissioner for Railways opened the new sandstone station and goods shed at East Warwick on 3rd January 1888.
It wasn’t long before East Warwick became the new Warwick Terminus and the original 'Warwick' station was renamed 'Mill Hill'.
Most of Mill Hill’s infrastructure was moved to other stations. Passenger traffic and freight traffic continued for many years, and Mill Hill is an important chapter in Warwick’s History
Mill Hill was closed as an official station on Friday, 30th May, 1975.
This mill was built in 1500 and rebuilt in 1867. It was still functioning as a flour mill until the 1990s but now sadly lies derelict with the water wheel broken.

The Anthony Mill, at Reilly Townsite, was built in 1883. To suppy water to operate the mill, as well as the town of Reilly, a pipeline was laid from Water Canyon over five miles away. In September of 1883 the stamp mill was fired up for the first time, and promptly broke down when a water pump failed.
I took this photo of the mill foundation wall because I thought it has held up remarkable well (it's 130 years old!). And look at that stone work! The wall is perfectly straight and the corner as sharp as a knife.

Little Mill Junction signal box by the Down line. 12:51, Wednesday 5th October 1988
Little Mill Junction signal box is a McKenzie & Holland type 3 design built for the Great Western Railway Company that opened in 1883 fitted with a 40 lever McKenzie & Holland 1873 Patent frame. A replacement 40 lever Great Western Railway Company 3-bar frame was installed in 1908 and the signal box was extended at the north end to accommodate a replacement 55 lever Great Western Railway Company vertical tappet 5-bar frame that was installed 20th to 24th November 1938. A British Railways Western Region entrance-exit signalling panel was commissioned on 30th September 1979 allowing the closure of Pontypool Road Station South signal box and Llantarnam Junction signal box to be reduced to a non block post, and as a result the lever frame was reduced to 17 levers between 30th September and 8th October 1979
30-52 painted on the signal box indicates it is 30 miles and 52 chains from the 0 point at the former Rotherwas Junction

Crown Roller Mill in the St. Anthony Falls Historic District, Minneapolis, MN (1880). Christian Brothers & Co. was founded in the 1870s by John & Llewellyn Christian and former Minnesota Iron Works operator C. M. Hardenberg. Unlike the Washburn and Pillsbury mills, Christian Brothers wanted their flour mill to be an architectural landmark on the river. The mill was purchased by the Northwestern Consolidated Milling Company in 1891. A fire ravaged the interior in 1983.

Actually, I sold my monster lens, 14-24mm f.2,8G, back to B&H and got the relatively new 20mm f/1.8G which is what I would have preferred if it were available early last year.
Ashton windmill is a Tower mill in Chapel Allerton, Somerset, England. Its tower is over 7.5 metres (25 ft) high with stone walls that are 60 cm (2.0 ft) thick. The sails are 13 m (43 ft) across and used to be covered with canvas. The last millstones were 1.2 m (3.9 ft) across and the millstones used to grind wheat for flour and beans for cattle food. [1]
The first mill on the site was medieval, but the present structure probably dates from the 18th century.[2] It was modernised in 1900 with machinery brought from the demolished Moorlinch mill, and iron hoops around the building being added.[3] It was restored in 1967. The mill has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building.[4]
It is now preserved, having been given to Bristol City Museum in 1966 and is owned by Sedgemoor District Council, and maintained by volunteers.
Mill, consisting of a catillus and meta on a stone foundation inside a bakery at Pompeii, Italy.
Pompeii used to have around 35 bakeries, more 20 of which were larger complexes operating their own horse- or mule-powered mills.
The mills used in larger Pompeian bakeries were made from volcanic rock and consisted on two components, the conical meta and the hourglass-shaped catillus. The latter also acted as funnel for the grain, which was ground between both stones the catillus was turned by a lever. Catilli in particular were subject to considerable wear, with parts breaking off as in the case of this millstone.
