The old mill pond in Stockamöllan, the small village (just a collection of houses) is known for its forklifts "Stocka". Today is Stocka bought by the German company Sthil.
Swedish newspaper text.
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.

John Marshall was the founder of the Leeds Flax Industry. He commissioned Joseph Bonomi to build this office building modelled on the Egyptian Temple at Edfu for his Temple Mill complex in Leeds which is to the left of this magnificent office block. The mill was built 1838 to 1840 and this Egyptian Building was added in 1843. The building has been featured on TV by the BBC for its boldness and wonderfully designed carvings, columns and detail.
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

This is the paper mill in Covington Va. Got this on my way home after an exhausting trip.
Felt like even though this is industrial its different, with all the colorful lights and smoke.
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.

Abandoned cotton racks in the 'new' mill building.
Torr Vale Mill in the Derbyshire town of New Mills was the longest continuous running textile mill in the UK until it closed in 2000. Inside are abandoned cotton racks and looms with half woven towels. Despite its dramatic location nestled in the deep Goyt Valley, it has proved difficult to convert to a new use due to restricted site access. Several failed attempts to rehabilitate the building mean that it lies derelict, with the owner taking only the bare essential steps to secure the site from vandalism and pigeon infestation.

William Newton, the mill manager, oversaw the construction of the new mill and the installation of modern machinery.
William Newton died in 1830 and was succeeded by his son as manager until 1835 when the estate was sold to Henry McConnel, an experienced cotton manufacturer and a partner in McConnel & Kennedy of Ancoats, Manchester. The heyday of the mill was the 19th century when it produced high-quality cotton for lacemaking. After World War I all the local mills struggled to make a profit and cotton spinning ceased here in 1965. The mill finally closed in 1971 after which it was allowed to decay for several years before being restored. The clock, which works the two faces from the same mechanism, and the cupola were added in 1837 to commemorate the Accession of Queen Victoria. The cupola is octagonal with round-arches. The three bells are inscribed 'Thomas Mears of London Founder 1837'.
The Monsal Trail runs along the former Midland Railway line for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale and Coombs Road Viaduct at Bakewell. Most of the route was opened to the public in 1981 but four former tunnels had to remain closed due to safety reasons, with public footpaths taking people around them. From 25 May 2011 the four railway tunnels - Headstone, Cressbrook, Litton, Chee Tor – opened for trail users. Each tunnel is about 400 metres long and is lit during normal daylight hours. Two shorter tunnels - Chee Tor No 2 and Rusher Cutting – already formed part of the trail.
A gristmill or grist mill is a building in which grain is ground into flour, or the grinding mechanism itself. In many countries these are referred to as corn mills or flour mills.
The early mills had horizontal paddle wheels, an arrangement which later became known as the "Norse wheel", as many were found in Scandinavia. The paddle wheel was attached to a shaft which was, in turn, attached to the centre of the millstone called the "runner stone". The turning force produced by the water on the paddles was transferred directly to the runner stone, causing it to grind against a stationary "bed", a stone of a similar size and shape. This simple arrangement required no gears, but had the disadvantage that the speed of rotation of the stone was dependent on the volume and flow of water available and was, therefore, only suitable for use in mountainous regions with fast-flowing streams. This dependence on the volume and speed of flow of the water also meant that the speed of rotation of the stone was highly variable and the optimum grinding speed could not always be maintained.
This started off as a B&W conversion, but i wasn't happy with the contrast I was getting, so I added a color layer on top of it and set it to Color Burn and 50% opacity.
Found this saw mill and thought it would make a good HDR. Didn't have the tripod so placed the camera on an old table in the corner and used self timer (2 secs) and mirror lock up.
nrhp # 79000147- The Dinsmore Grain Company Mill was a historic early 20th-century mill building on Branch Mill Road in China, Maine, USA. Built in 1914 on a site with nearly 100 years of industrial use, it was (according to its 1979 listing on the National Register of Historic Places) a well-preserved and functional period water-powered grist mill and sawmill. It was demolished in 2017, and delisted from the National Register in 2023.
The Dinsmore Mill was located just west of the village center of Palermo, Maine, across the town line in China. It was set astride the West Branch Sheepscot River, which drains Branch Pond to the north and is impounded by the dam located beneath the mill structure. The mill was a 2-1/2 story frame structure, rectangular in shape, covered by a gabled roof and wooden shingle siding. A three-story tower rose near the center of the southern (street-facing) facade; it was also capped by a gabled roof. The ground floor of the building housed the main works, which included a water-driven turbine and the milling equipment. A conveyor belt provided access to the upper floor, which was historically used for the storage of grain.[2]
The first documented mill at this site was in operation in 1817, owned by Joseph Hacker. It was later taken over by Hacker's son-in-law, who partnered in 1879 with his son-in-law, Thomas Dinsmore. Dinsmore passed the mill on to his son, James R.B. Dinsmore. He is responsible for construction of this building, after the older one was destroyed by fire (along with adjacent houses) in 1908. At first just a grist mill, it was expanded in 1935 by James Kenneth Dinsmore to again also function as a sawmill.[2] The mill operated until 1960.[3]
The mill was in the 2010s a source of some local controversy. The main building had deteriorated, and the dam underneath was unable to support the consistently high levels of water desired by the owners of waterfront on Branch Pond and mandated by the state's Department of Environmental Protection. In 2016, the owners reached an impasse with local and state authorities, as they claimed to be unable to lower the water levels sufficiently to effect needed repairs on the dam. They claimed that structural instability due to the building's deteriorated condition would make such repair work difficult and potentially dangerous.[3] The property was acquired in 2017 by the Atlantic Salmon Federation, which subsequently demolished the mill and altered the dam to support the passage of anadromous fish.
