The incline along Mill Bank is such that the housing and footpath was built higher than the road way. This won’t be a bad thing; the occupants of these properties probably aren’t affected as much by road noise, more-so considering the trees which line the bank.

This Windmill has been renovated and is now a Bed and Breakfast Residence. Cley use to be an important Sea Port on the East Coast, but it is now about a mile from the Sea.
It is a beautiful village, almost like stepping back in time when you wander the streets. The Church in the background is at Blakeney about 2miles away. Both villages are in Norfolk , England

Yates Mill, in Raleigh, is one of those places that, as a photographer, you could easily spend hours photographing stuff. I spent the morning there with my awesome wife, just exploring and looking for different shots of the mill. I found a few other great images that I'll share this week. I also couldn't decide on just one image, so here's two.
I'll be heading back to work tomorrow after a blissful long birthday weekend. I think I'm ready for another great year!
Cheers,
Wade
Brainerd Local drops off two cars for scrap paper loading and is about to pick up these two loads. The mill was eerily quiet.
Riverside Mill, originally known as Dunsdale Mill, was built in 1837 for spinning and weaving. Owned by Waddle & Turnbull, later by Brown & Allan and then by Laidlaw & Fairgrieve. Today, this thriving business hub is a far cry from its last incarnation, Laidlaw and Fairgrieve woollen mill, which closed in 2000 with the loss of 100 jobs. Now, it is home to 60 local firms, ranging from a performing arts school, kidswear, garages, physios, music rooms and flight cases for bands.
Mill Creek runs adjacent to Malad Summit Guard Station and provides a good water supply in winter, if it's not frozen over. The cabin also has a hand pump that provides water in the summer. Malad Cabin is a U.S. Forest Service rental in Caribou National Forest, Idaho.
Built in 1861 to harness the power of a massive spring flowing into Bryant Creek and rebuilt in 1897, the tall, three-story frame building nestles against a bluff of the Bryant. Though the mill no longer grinds grain, it still houses the old milling machinery. (The nationally distributed line of stone-ground bakery products bearing the Hodgson name is now produced at a modern mill in nearby Gainesville.) Standing nearby is an old round gas pump, its glass top now clouded and stained.
The spring still spews nearly 3,000,000 gallons of clear, cold water a day. Besides the mill, it once powered a cotton gin, a lumber mill, and a clothing factory. In pre-REA days, the power of the water also generated electricity for all the mill-site enterprises. And, once upon a time, thanks to the constant 58 degree temperature of the spring, the mill was a popular site for neighborhood dances.

Built by John and James Bathgate in 1864 as Cheviot Mills. Renamed Heather Mills in 1892. This factory distributed pattern bunches direct to tailors and dressmakers, selling cloth by the yard. This became known as the "any length cut trade" and was a forerunner of mail order. Heather Mills also took over in 1930, the adjacent Bridgehaugh Mill, a spinning and weaving mill built in 1865 and later their subsidiary Logan & Turner manufactured woven felts for the paper trade. Historical information from Scottish Borders from Above by Alastair Campbell, published by Deveron Publications of Kelso in 2007.
Heather Mills closed in 2009 and was demolished following a fire in 2018.
An unusually people and traffic free down Mill Street, Macclesfield on a Saturday morning. The car is parked almost in front of the really good 'Cheshire Gap' delicatessen. The white glazed tiled tower beyond is a survival from the much loved and greatly missed Majestic Cinema which closed down when the owners retired and sold out to developers.
This well worn "Little Mill Brick Co Pontypool" die was photographed at the Usk Museum of Rural Life, Usk, Monmouthshire. It would appear that brick making at Little Mill dates back to at least 1850. Some Burgoyne bricks are faintly embossed in small lettering with "Estb 1850", and another, probably later commemorative brick, is incised "Little Mill, Estb 1850". The works was alongside the Newport and Hereford line at Little Mill Junction, where a line branched off eastwards through Usk into Gloucestershire. A spur into the works was laid in 1869 when the owner was given as a CH Leigh. The 1882 OS map, and subsequent editions until 1920, give the works as "Bryn Tovey Brick Works" (from the nearby Bryn Tovey Wood); from 1920 to 1988, it is marked the "Little Mill Brick Works".
Between 1910 and 1920, Lougher who took over the works from the Burgoynes, changed the name to "Little Mill Brick Co" and later it became a limited company. Kelly's for 1926, and all directories subsequently, use the name Little Mill Brick Co Ltd". Lougher himself died in 1948. The spur into the works was removed in 1966, doubtless a victim of the infamous Beeching Cuts. The firm continued into the 1980s, the last directory entry being the 1981 Industrial Directory of Wales. Today, the site is the Little Mill Go Kart Track.

On Shiffnall Street, between Saville Street and River Street in Bolton stands a long abandoned and Derelict Mill. There is a date stone above a door which reads J B & Co 1890. I was quite taken with it.

A historic brick mill sits nestled within a lush, tree-filled landscape during the golden autumn season. A small stream flows through the grassy hollow in front of the building, while a paved path winds past a large, textured tree trunk in the foreground. A lone person walks along the path, enjoying the peaceful atmosphere of the parkland.
The only surviving tower block in the Toxteth/Dingle area of Liverpool. However, Mill View's time is limited as it is now boarded up and awaiting demolition.
The Old Stone Mill is the oldest surviving automatic stone grist mill in Ontario.
The Old Stone Mill in Delta Ontario is a National Historic Site showcasing milling technology and 1800s industrial heritage. The mill was built in 1810 and is one of the finest examples of early industrial architecture in the region.
A self-guided tour of the mill features interpretive displays and artifacts illustrating the grist milling process through the years. Artifacts include buhr millstones, 48 inch Swain turbines, roller mills and much more.
In the Museum (the former Old Town Hall just around the corner from the mill) exhibits highlight some of the early industries of the region including early agricultural equipment. Small gift shops are located at both sites.
The Old Stone Mill National Historic Site has been designated by the Government of Canada as a place of national historic significance.

Rhyddings Mill
DEMOLITION of a Grade II-listed mill building has begun today after the building was gutted by fire.
Firefighters were at the scene and a section of Rhyddings Street was closed off as the first section was knocked down by contractors.
The demolition of Rhyddings Mill, including the 100ft high chimney, is expected to take days due to the chimney’s height.
Contractors Phoenix Demolitions said a steeple jack would be needed to climb the chimney, erect scaffolding.
The chimney would then be demolished by dropping bricks from the top inside it.

A commemorative Little Mill brick marked up "Estb 1850", possibly dating from 1950?
The history of brick making at Little Mill appears to date back to at least 1850, with these bricks marked “Estb 1850”. Kelly’s for 1881, 1884, 1895 and 1901 quotes” John Burgoyne (& Son by 1901), brick makers, the brick kilns Llanvihangel-Pontymoile, Pontypool”, although Kelly’s for 1871 lists a George Waters Williams as producing bricks at the brick kilns Llanvihangel-Pontymoile. In Kelly’s for 1906 and 1914, David John Lougher is listed as producing bricks at Little Mill, Llanvihangel-Pontymoile, but by 1926, Kelly’s lists the Little Mill Brick Co Ltd as being at Llanvihangel-Pontymoile. The last reference to Little Mill Brick Co Ltd is in the Burgess 1983 directory. The 1822 OS map shows a relatively small brick works “Bryn Tovey Brick Works” in Bryn Tovey Wood near the Little Mill railway junction. By 1922 the OS map shows it as a much larger complex, by then described as “Little Mill Brick Works”. Today there is disused Go-Karting track at the site. Little Mill was possibly the most prolific brick company in the Eastern Valley (now Torfaen) until its closure in the 1970s. Many bricks, including a large number of misfirings are scattered round the woods.
This is a very good specimen, unfortunately it is inaccessible.
