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.
This is the Porterdale Mill Lofts in Porterdale, Georgia. "A creative alternative to Newton County’s many 'cookie cutter' apartment complexes, the Porterdale Mill Lofts are an adaptive new use of the Textile Mill and Cotton Warehouse facilities built over a century ago in Porterdale, Georgia. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, these buildings have been meticulously restored in compliance with the historic renovation standards of the Department of the Interior." www.porterdalemill.com.
The remains of Lower Hall Mill, South Crosland, which was probably abandoned in the late 1800s, as it was listed empty in the 1891 and 1901 Censuses.
It was likely one of two mills linked to Lower Hall Farm.
In 1873, it was sold as part of a liquidation sale and described as being a "desirable place for a small manufacturer, paper-maker, dyer, or brewer, or any other business in which a large supply of water is necessary."
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 !
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.
The Mill at Gelligroes in Pontllanfraith dates back to approximately 1625. There have been several improvements made including a water powered generator which was built in 1908 to provide electricity for the Mill and the house. A major restoration was made in 1993, and the mill now incorporates a candle making factory.
It is currently undergoing refurbishment work.
In 1912 Arthur (Artie) Moore an amateur radio enthusiast living at the Mill picked up the distress signal from the Titanic from this location.

A pleasant 3 story mill in the village of Honley. As with all the previous visitors any history was hard to come by. The village as with many in the area were dotted with textile mills, and appears that cloth making has taken place in Honley since the 11th Century.
Very little remains regarding the company itself within the building apart from a certificate of Incorporation in 1960 establishing itself as a limited Company. Information of the companies activities are also limited, presumably they wove and/or sold rugs, there are some bits and pieces of really old looms in the loft space but that’s about it. It seems that the company only operated for 15 years until it was wound up. After that the bottom of this mill was last used around 2008 as a M.O.T centre/garage place.
A last look at the mill, with the manager's office on the left. In the foreground is the exit incline up to the Rhiwbach Tramway

The Château d'Angers is a castle in the city of Angers in the Loire Valley, in the département of Maine-et-Loire, in France. Founded in the 9th century by the Counts of Anjou, it was expanded to its current size in the 13th century. It is located overhanging the river Maine. It is a listed historical monument since 1875.[1] Now open to the public, the Château d'Angers is home of the Apocalypse Tapestry.
History
Originally, the Château d'Angers was built as a fortress at a site inhabited by the Romans because of its strategic defensive location.[2]
In the 9th century, the Bishop of Angers gave the Counts of Anjou permission to build a castle in Angers.[3] The construction of the first castle begun under Count Fulk III (970–1040), celebrated for his construction of dozens of castles, who built it to protect Anjou from the Normans.[4] It became part of the Angevin Empire of the Plantagenet Kings of England during the 12th century. In 1204, the region was conquered by Philip II and the new castle was constructed during the minority of his grandson, Louis IX ("Saint Louis") in the early part of the 13th century. Louis IX rebuilt the castle in whitestone and black slate, with 17 semicircular towers.[4] The construction undertaken in 1234 cost 4,422 livres, roughly one per cent of the estimated royal revenue at the time.[5] Louis gave the castle to his brother, Charles in 1246.[6]
In 1352, King John II le Bon, gave the castle to his second son, Louis who later became count of Anjou. Married to the daughter of the wealthy Duke of Brittany, Louis had the castle modified, and in 1373 commissioned the famous Apocalypse Tapestry from the painter Hennequin de Bruges and the Parisian tapestry-weaver Nicolas Bataille. Louis II (Louis I's son) and Yolande d'Aragon added a chapel (1405–12) and royal apartments to the complex. The chapel is a sainte chapelle, the name given to churches which enshrined a relic of the Passion. The relic at Angers was a splinter of the fragment of the True Cross which had been acquired by Louis IX.[4]
In the early 15th century, the hapless dauphin who, with the assistance of Joan of Arc would become King Charles VII, had to flee Paris and was given sanctuary at the Château d' Angers.
The 15th-century chapel
In 1562, Catherine de' Medici had the castle restored as a powerful fortress, but, her son, Henry III, reduced the height of the towers and had the towers and walls stripped of their embattlements; Henry III used the castle stones to build streets and develop the village of Angers. Nonetheless, under threat of attacks from the Huguenots, the king maintained the castle's defensive capabilities by making it a military outpost and by installing artillery on the château's upper terraces. At the end of the 18th century, as a military garrison, it showed its worth when its thick walls withstood a massive bombardment by cannons from the Vendean army. Unable to do anything else, the invaders simply gave up.
A military academy was established in the castle to train young officers in the strategies of war. Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington, best known for taking part in the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte at the Battle of Waterloo, was trained at the Military Academy of Angers.[7] The academy was moved to Saumur and the castle was used for the rest of the 19th century as a prison, powder magazine, and barracks.[7]

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

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.
