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.

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.

One of what I like to think of as a "postcard" shot. That is, if it were actually as good a picture as what I build it up in my mind!

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.
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.

Oehler Mill Complex
Shelby, Wisconsin
Listed 5/22/2013
Reference Number: 13000314
The Oehler Mill Complex is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its local significance under National Register (NR) Criterion C, architecture. It is significant at the local level with a period of significance of 1862-1907, dates encompassing the construction of the mill and the associated buildings of the milling complex. Research was undertaken to assess this potential utilizing the NR significance area of Architecture, a theme that is also identified in the State of Wisconsin's Cultural Resource Management Plan (CRMP). This research centered on evaluating the resources in the Complex utilizing the Italianate Style and Stone Construction subsections of the Architectural Styles study unit, and the Milling subsection of the Industry study unit portions of the CRMP. 17 The results of this research are detailed below and determined that the Complex's fine stone and brick Astylistic Utilitarian Vernacular Form flour mill building and its two fine associated brick Italianate style houses are locally significant under Criterion C, architecture. The mill is a now exceptionally rare example of an early rural flour and grist mill and its significance is heightened by the fact that the houses of Valentine Oehler and Gottfried Oehler, the two brothers who built it and ran it, are both extant and are situated on either side of it.

Porterdale, GA (Newton County) Copyright 2009 D. Nelson
At first there was the Yellow River, then a place called Cedar Shoals about 4 miles south of Covington. Porterdale Mills were established in the late 19th century. Its namesake, Oliver Porter, sold his interest in the mills in 1899 and became a benefactor of the surrounding town which soon became known as Porterdale, GA. Today, the impressive old mill buildings are listed on the National Register for Historic Places and have been converted into lofts. The town itself seemed a little sleepy but has been nicely fixed up.
