Cromford Mill was the first water-powered cotton spinning mill developed by Richard Arkwright in 1771 in Cromford, Derbyshire, England, which laid the foundation of his fortune and was quickly copied by mills in Lancashire, Germany and the United States. It forms the centrepiece of the Derwent Valley Mills, now a World Heritage Site.

Ever since my high school machine shop classes I have wanted a mill. For years my career and the mobility it required made mill ownership an unfulfillable dream. Retirement should have changed that. But my frequent searches never produced anything that met my three basic criteria; capability, affordability, and reachability. Everything was to small or to big, to expensive, to used up or to far away.
Built in 1901, Loray Mill has been vacant for the past two decades. It was once the South's largest industrial building at more that 600,000 square feet. A historic strike here in 1929 led to violence that claimed the life of a police officer and a worker. This is how it looks today, converted to sepia.
Corporal Edward Mills. One of the many who gave his life defending Groton and New London during the Battle of Fort Griswold on September 6th, 1781. Located at Wightman Burying Grounds in Mystic, CT. Often I stand and take a moment to wonder and daydream how different his life was than the one we currently know in this region.
Taken from the observation deck of the Mill City Museum, this wide angle shot shows the ruins of the Washburn A mill, the Stone Arch Bridge, and the Mississippi River in the background.
it turned out that the mill's base casting is not perfectly flat in that area so bolting down the baseplate to the mill caused the baseplate to warp a bit, springing out the bottom of the baseplate where the bottom strut is attached, resulting in a small amount of up-n-down wobble or play in the rest of the unit. Daddy fix later.
This was a mill building on a patch of property, abandoned on a hillside in the mostly empty areas surrounding downtown Johnstown, PA.

nrhp # 82003277- The old mill in Clinton, New Jersey, has been called both Dunham's Mill and Parry's Mill, after its first two owners. In 1836, Charles and James Dunham built the current fieldstone mill on the ashes of an earlier mill. In 1843, Samuel Parry purchased the mill which he (and, later, his son Edward) worked until 1909.(1)
Perry's Mill now houses the Hunterdon Museum of Art. According to one source, Just before the South Branch of the Raritan unfolds at the Clinton falls, the river's banks are home for two long-time repositories of New Jersey's history and culture. On the west bank, the landmark Red Mill, built in about 1812 to process wool, has played host to a succession of industries and activities spawned by the region's remarkably rich agriculture. In the 1830s a large stone mill rose across the river on the east bank where the proprietors stuck to grinding grain, the reigning business at this site since Colonial times. The two mills stood and stand yet as eloquent testimony to a once keen harmony between man's needs and Nature's possibilities. In 1952 a group composed of artists and community leaders acquired the stone gristmill for use as a nonprofit cultural center.

The Old Mill, in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
One day after work I headed out to the Old Mill to try for a few shots. It was crowded there, like it usually is, with a lot of other photographers. This time there were two groups taking family or engagement shots or something like that, and they all got annoyed with each other because they each got in the other's way. I was annoyed with them all since they were usually sitting right in the middle of everything. This was taken on a rare few minutes when the coast was clear...

Woodson's Mill, also known as Piney River Mill, is a historic grist mill located at Lowesville, Nelson County, Virginia. It is believed to have been built originally for Guiliford Campbell in 1794. The present building has undergone three periods of structural and mechanical improvements, most of which date to the nineteenth century. Sometime after 1900, Dr. Julian B. Woodson added a sophisticated roller mill system for the production of fine white flour and he built his office into the west end of the mill. The mill continues to function with two water wheels and houses an operating cider press.[2]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992 from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodson's_Mill

From Wiki:-
The runied windmill on the hills was constructed in the 1820s. The mill is built on the highest part of Cleadon Hills on a slight artificial mound. The building incorporates a stone reefing stage, a feature that was peculiar to windmills in the area.
The mill was severely damaged in a storm at some time during the 1870s, and then suffered the indignity of being a target for gunnery practice during the First World War. A photograph dating from the 1920s shows the rotating cap and the windshaft more or less intact but without the sails, which were presumably destroyed during the storm that put the mill out of business. Nowadays the entrances to the mill are barred and locked, the remains of internal machinery that were visible in the mill during the 1970s are now gone, although broken fragments of a millstone remain.
A local legend relates the story of Elizabeth Gibbon, a heartbroken woman who threw herself from the top of the mill tower and whose ghost apparently haunts the ruin of the mill to this day. The windmill was operated by the Gibbon family at the time the storm took place, which lends some weight to the tale of Elizabeth's suicide.

An overshoot grist mill was built in 1868 by John P. Cable.
John P. Cable built his grist mill in Cades Cove. He was a descendent of Peter Cable, a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer who had arrived in the area in the 1820s and designed an elaborate system to drain the swampy lands located in the western part of the cove.
John Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use an overshot water wheel, a gravity wheel which harnesses the force of gravity acting vertically on the water as it travels from the top to the bottom of the wheel. Cable Mill's power was supplied by Mill Creek, although a connecting channel was dug to Forge Creek so the mill could tap both streams when water levels were low.
Cable Mill took double advantage of its waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. This revolutionized the way homes were built in the cove, as people switched from using logs to lumber and frame construction. The Gregg Cable house still stands as an example of a frame built house in Cades Cove.

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.
Trago Mills is a small chain of very interesting supermarket type shops in the West Country. This is, I'm told, the prettiest and that's probably correct but if ever down that way, have a look at the one outside Newton Abbott, on the A38, There are things there that shouldn't be near shops - it's almost a flippin' theme park!
Dalton Mills was once the largest textile mill in the region, employing over 2000 workers. It was built by Joseph Craven in 1869, replacing the original mill which was owned by Rachel Leach in the 1780's.
The mill was named Dalton Mills after the manager employed by Rachel Leach, a man called Dalton.
In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
As the textile industry declined, the fortunes of Dalton Mills changed and up until 2004, it had been virtually empty for almost a decade. John Craven, the great-great grandson of Joseph, who had built the mill, eventually chose to sell Dalton Mills to Magna Holdings, to ensure it’s survival.
Part of the renovation of the Clock Tower has included restarting the landmark clock which has not ticked for 25 years. In the mill's heyday, thousands of workers relied on the clock to get to work on time, but the hands had not moved for a quarter of a century. Last year Magna Holdings repaired the clock, and illuminated the faces, so it can display the time to the whole of Dalton Lane again.
