My first attempt at using a milling machine: a bracket for the spacensus retroreflective sensors.
Made on a milling machine at the London Hackspace. Many thanks to those who tutored me!
Only the tower of this mill survives today and that's because its got a phone transmitter on it. Forest Mill was built in 1854 by James Haworth and his two brothers--a large mill with 16,000 spindles and 540 looms. Forest Mill suffered badly in the floods of 1870 when the water in the weaving sheds was over six foot deep. Another flood in 1881 reached the beam of the weaving sheds. The mill was taken over in the 20th century by Thomas Hoghton who also had mills at Facit and Oswaldtwistle, they occupied the mill until the mid 1960s. Du-Mil ltd followed which was involved with combining and foaming, said at the time to be the largest complex of its type in Europe. The mill fell vacant again in the 1970s and was split into smaller units by Rossendale Council. This proved successful with firms like Valley Refrigeration a firm of shopfitter and a chemical works.
The handwritten sign in the center reads 'Must wear ear plugs in mill warpath'. I wish I took some close up shots of the control panel. A few of the buttons were labeled 'East/West Pulverizer' - couldn't resist pressing those.
Beacon continues to have several surviving mill buildings and more than just about anywhere else in the region. Everything from hats to bricks was made here. The traffic light in the center of the street is unique and looks like it was recently restored. I like this town.
This diner is a 1950 O'Mahony. It was previously known as Earnshaw's Diner when it was located in Fall River, Massachusetts. It is now located in Wareham, Massachusetts
Hand coloring an old mill: finished - page 4
You can study your work and make any corrections to your airbrushing layer and also readjust the layers' Opacities.
Save all your work yet again as a Photoshop file with layers to preserve all your work.
When happy, flatten the layers, Shift-Ctrl-E or from the Alt-Layers pull-down, Flatten image. Now you can save your finished hand-colored image as a .TIFF file for easy final preparation for printing.
The finished ore mill is hopefully crude enough to relate its hand-coloring to the viewer. Of course you can always backtrack to your layers then add or shift your colors so that they are further from realistic.
A visit to Quarry Bank Mill in Manchester to see how cotton was spun in the 1700s. The event was sponsored by Cargill Cotton.
this derlict water mill was up for sale, close to where we stayed in Angus, Scotland in the Spring...an worthwhile project for someone perhaps :) I have attempted to sketch it a few times, I love it but it is quite difficult to paint !

Date stone detail of Wellington silk mill, Leek, Staffordshire.
Now converted into housing, the Wellington Mill in Leek, Staffordshire, is one of many Victorian textile mills in the town and the last to cease working as a silk mill.
The fleeing Huguenots , following the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, are often credited with bringing the silk industry to Leek but, in fact, although they introduced more refined techniques to the industry, it goes further back than that in this area and was mentioned in the will of John Wood, a silk weaver, in 1672.
Leek was particularly famed for the production of fine ribbons, thread and silk covered buttons, known collectively as smallwares. Originally this was a cottage industry but, with expansion and mechanisation in the 19th century, large mills took over the industry. Alongside the production of the silk goods a specialist dyeing industry also grew up, encouraged by William Morris, who worked alongside local mill owner, Thomas Wardle, to perfect dyes made from natural materials. The most specialist of all was Raven Black, for which Leek became well known.
Products from the Wellington Mill were exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1862 in London and later in exhibitions in Leeds, Paris and even Melbourne in Australia.
The products from the mill covered an enormous range of goods over the years , including threads made especially for tailors, dressmakers, mantle makers and corset manufacturers. Even boot and shoe and harness makers were catered for, as were dentists and surgeons, for whom the mill made surgical threads. Two of the most important products were the fine embroidery threads required by the local Leek Embroidery Society and threads for making military uniforms.
With thanks to Sarah Brough for lending me her dissertation on the history of the mill.
nrhp # 13001166- The Potomac Mills was a mill complex located along the Potomac River roughly .5 miles (0.80 km) downriver of Shepherdstown. Built in 1826, the complex was originally used as a gristmill. In 1829, the mill began producing cement for the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal's construction. The factory continued to produce cement after the canal opened, and it shipped its product along the canal to other cities. Flooding and drought conditions in the 1880s led the mill to reduce its operations, and by 1901 the mill closed permanently.
The remaining buildings from the mill occupy an 18-acre (7.3 ha) site and are mostly in ruins. The buildings include the main mill building, several lime kilns, a headrace wall, and an office building. The stone foundation of the mill's dam, which extends across the river into Washington County, Maryland, is also still part of the site.[2] The mill site was added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 5, 2014.

Gunnestorp's Mölla - Grandpa owned it for a few years. Not exactly sure what years, just that they sold it in the 1930s.
Built in 1932 by the Royal Victoria Dock in East London, Spiller's Millennium Mill was the largest flour mill in Britain.
This area of the docklands was once the centre of London's flour milling industry, and both the Co-operative Welfare Society and Rank Hovis used to have similar mills to this one in the locality

New Mills Central signal box by the Down Main line alongside Station Road over bridge. Thursday 12th May 2011
New Mills Junction signal box was a Midland Railway Company type 4d design fitted with a 30 lever Railway Executive Committee frame that was opened by the London Midland and Scottish Railway on 2nd November 1924 replacing an earlier signal box in the same location. The railway station was renamed New Mills Central on 28th May 1952 but the signal box does not appear to have been renamed New Mills Central Junction until the 1960s. The Hayfield branch line closed and the junction controlled by the signal box ceased to exist on 5th January 1970 but the signal box was not renamed New Mills Central until 1977. The signal box's appearance was radically altered in January 2006 when it was was refurbished with uPVC cladding and windows
The signal box carries a Network Rail nameboard which was fitted when the signal box was refurbished
Signal number 199 (Down Main L.O.S.), a position light shunt signal is in the Down Main cess by the signal box

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.
