Here we have the historic Slater Mill site which was the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution in America. The mill was the first water-powered mill in the country drawing its power from the Blackstone river.
Slater Mill was built in 1793. It served as the first commercially viable cotton-spinning mill in the United States. It was used to convert raw cotton into cloth.
Forest Mill was built in 1838 by George Roberts & Co. In 1962 it merged with Robert Noble of Hawick and Walter Thorburn of Peebles. The weaving mill closed in 1967 and the wool store and spinning sections closed in 1973. Today the mill is semi derelict being mostly unoccupied. This photo was taken from a few paces south of Station Road bridge over the mill lade which as can be seen is now choked with vegetation. You can just about make out where the mill lade disappears into a tunnel under the middle building. This is one of the few remaining traces of Selkirk's Mill Lade.

Pinkerton mill on the Teeswater river in Pinkerton, Brockton, Bruce County. The original grist mill on this site was built in the 1850's by David Pinkerton. But fire and mills have historically had a fatal attraction to each other and this one is no exception. The first mill burnt in 1896. The second mill burnt down in 1928. This present mill closed down operations as a feed mill in 1999.
The Longmont Sugar Mill. One of Colorado's top abandoned locations. One of the closest locations you will find in Colorado that compares to the monstrous factories that lay abandoned out east. After almost running into the owners in the north building nearly two years ago, I had been itching to get back and try to hack the northern building again. That day finally came. After a tricky infiltration(many cars driving by, workers operating equipment nearby and people walking around outside of adjacent buildings), my crew and I finally made it in. And this time, we were the only ones on location. Such an amazing trip. This has become my all time favorite location.
Wilkinson Mill is part of the Slater Mill Historic Site in Pawtucket,
Rhode Island. It was built in 1810 by David Wilkinson.
New Bringheli crown race mill. Works like a champ, and when combined with Sycip soy cutting fluid makes the shop smell like popcorn. Par-tay.
Mill Race Park is a city-owned park located in Columbus, Indiana (Bartholomew County) where the Flat Rock and the Driftwood rivers join together (forming the east fork of the White River) in downtown Columbus.

The mill was built some time around 1875 (some sources say 1880) to drain Horning marsh into the river Ant and make the fields on the west bank of the river suitable for grazing livestock. It was built by William Rust, a millwright from Great Yarmouth. Rust was also responsible for the drainage mill at Potter Heigham, erected at the same time.
The mill stands 31 feet high and has a tower of brick, divided internally into two floors, with a wooden main shaft. It is topped with a boat-shaped weatherboarded cap, with four double shuttered sails. Each sail is divided into seven bays. The mill direction is aided by a six-bladed fantail. The sails drive a unique double scoop wheel, which could be set to a low or high gear.
Turf Fen mill went out of service in 1920 when the fields were no longer used to graze livestock. In 1976 the mill was taken over by the Norfolk Windmills Trust, who began a restoration project. The mill was fitted with a new cap and sails, and restoration was completed in 1986. In 2007 trainee millwrights fitted new wooden paddles to the scoop wheel.
The easiest way to view the mill is to follow the footpath beside the mooring on the riverside, south from Toad Hole Cottage Museum and the How Hill centre. The mill is easily visible from the path, and you can get an unobstructed view of the back of the mill from the east bank at any time.

The Adelphi MIll is one of the significant landmarks in Bollington and whilst the chimney was dismantled some years ago, the future of the building now seems secure. The mill was constructed alongside the Macclesfield Canal but water transport was almost immediately superseded by the Macclesfield Bollington and Marple Railway which ran behind the mill.
The Adelphi Mill Properties Ltd website gives a brief history of the mill as under:
Constructed circa 1868 by Martin Swindells, a local cotton spinner who also owned Clarence Mill in Bollington, he built The Adelphi Mill for his two sons, hence the name 'Adelphi', which is Greek for brothers.
The Mill, which was built adjacent to the Macclesfield Canal began life spinning cotton, but was soon converted to the production of fine silk. During the Second World War, spinning ceased in the Mill and all work was turned over to the production of parachutes. At the end of the sixties the Mill was bought by Britax for the production of webbing for motorcar seatbelts, this continued until the late eighties. The Mill was then sold and converted to offices and workshop uses.
Falls Mill is located in tiny Belvidere, Tennessee. Built on Factory Creek in 1873, it has been a spinning mill, a textile mill, a cotton gin, and a woodworking shop before becoming a grist mill in the late 1960's. The mill dam was built just above two lovely waterfalls that tumble into a small canyon. It's a lovely place well worth a visit.
The Darnley Grist Mill was named after Lord Darnley, a famous ancestor of James Crook. The mill was constructed between 1811 and 1813. The mill was made of stone from a quarry near morden's mills downstream. Originally, the building was square and three storeys high.
A nine-metre-high overshot waterwheel was mounted on the outside wall beside spencer creek. Water was drawn over the wheel to power the mill. Inside the building were four sets of grindstones used for feed and flour production.
After James Crook's death in 1860, the mill was sold to James Stutt and Robert Sanderson who converted it into a paper mill. After Stutt bought out Sanderson in 1880, he added a steam boiler to heat water for paper making and to have an alternative power source. On July 9th, 1885, the boiler exploded, causing damage to the mill and killing two men.
While leased to the Greensville Paper Company in the 1930's, the wooden floors were replaced by concrete. In 1943, the mill was gutted by a fire and left in ruins.
View of the Mill Springs Battlefield in Kentucky. On January 19, 1862 Confederate forces under the command of Gen. Felix Zollicoffer emerged from a wooded ravine and intended to strike the Union army's left flank. Zollicoffer, thinking that the troops were being subjected to friendly fire by another Confederate force at the split rail fence boldly rode up to inform them of their error. Unfortunately for Zollicoffer, the forces behind the fence were Union and as he tried to retreat he was met with a pistol shot that ended his life.
Neustadt mill on Meux creek, a tributary of the South Saugeen river in Neustadt, West Grey township, Grey county, Ontario. This former grist mill was built by David Winkler in 1856 and stopped operations as a mill in 1990. In the last few years it housed an antique shop. When I arrived I was surprised to find the building empty. I was told the building has been sold. The dam and creek are to the left of the building. When you are in Neustadt you can also drop by at the Neustadt Springs brewery next door in the old fieldstone building.

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

West Point Mill in Durham, North Carolina, functioned longer (1778-1942) and more prosperously than any other mill on the Eno River. This mill also became the vital center for a thriving community of about 300 families. There was a general store, blacksmith shop, cotton gin, saw mill, and still. In 1839, the mill even became the location of a post office. Because it was the most westerly point on the mail route from Raleigh to Roxboro, the name West Point was given to the post office, to the mill, and to the community itself.
The mill ceased operations in 1942 when a freshet broke the dam across the river, and the building collapsed from old age and neglect in 1973. Through the use of photographs of the original mill, remains of the framing, and the intact foundation, the mill was reconstructed with materials gleaned from other local grist mills. Today the West Point Mill is working again, grinding corn and wheat with water power. Stone-ground meal and flour, along with other items, are sold in the mill's store.
