nrhp # 76000353- McCosh Mill is located in Alabama, but can only be accessed through Georgia. The Mill and house were both burned down by vagrants in the 80/90's but the foundation of both still can be seen along with the ruins of the dam and spillway that ran the mill. It is listed as haunted, saying that the miller killed his wife and lover and they prowl the area, however the older locals say this did not happen. Many locals and people from the surrounding area visit the mill on a regular basis to fish, swim, sunbathe and just hang out. It consists of the upper Mill pond and rocky rapids below the pond.

Folds Mill, Folds Rd, Little Bolton was opened in 1884 by Arthur Bromiley and Co, Ltd., cotton spinners and manufacturers, with 700 looms manufacturing, shirtings, cambrics, jacquards, dobbies, etc. By 1938 the mill was in use as a printing works and from the 1960s - 1980s Marston Radiators. The lettering B A S stands for Britain's Aquatic Superstore which has been based here from at least 1985.
The name of the manufacturer of the water tank, Witter & Son, is shown in the centre panel of the left face. Witter & Son of Crown Works, Bolton, were manufacturers of fire protection equipment. It is likely to have been installed to supply an automatic sprinkler system in the mill. Their 'Witter' sprinkler has been extensively used in many countries.
A nice jute mill (forgot name, sorry!) with pretty a pretty damn comical access right infront of the 'mobile police surveillance unit' (defo a 'UNIT' lol), so thanks to the parking wardens of Tayside for that one ;)
Visited with Speed after visiting the tayside police to alleviate them of about £5k worth of camera gear, YONK!!
Inside stripped, all that was left was a few slices of newspaper, a sweedish brass bodied burner, and some pretty dramatic shadows & cast iron uprights.

Howe Bridge Cotton Spinning Co was registered in 1868 and built four mills in Atherton. By 1891 it was the fourth largest cotton spinning firm in Lancashire and by 1922 had raised capacity to 700,000 spindles. The last mill, seen here in the background, was built in 1919. It closed as a textile factory in early 1999.
Inner workings of a mill. Photographed the outside of the building before, but the interior was always too dark.

This is the Pemberton Mill which stands today by Canal Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts. The steel trusses are part of a bridge which crosses the canal, from where I took the picture. My friend, Tim, and I marveled at the enduring strength of this and other great mill buildings in the area, and how it seemed that no expense had been spared in their construction.
Upon researching the history of this mill, however, I found that the story is more complicated. The original Pemberton Mill collapsed without warning in 1860 in one of Massachusetts’ worst industrial accidents, trapping 900 in the rubble and ultimately killing more than 120 people.
That building was five stories high, 84 feet wide, and 280 feet long. It was only 7 years old when it collapsed. Evidently, faulty iron pillars which supported the floors and weak mortar in the brick walls were the cause.
The 1862 Boston Almanac reported: "The Pemberton Mills at Lawrence, Mass., through a defect in the cast-iron columns supporting the interior of the building, fall-in while nearly 800 operatives are at work, and bury many in the ruins. About four hours after the fall, a fire breaks out, and destroys those not extricated from the ruins. More than 115 people perish by the awful catastrophe, and 165 are more or less injured."

This mill was built during the 1860's and was acquired by the Slaithwaite Spinning Co in 1902. Next to the mill buildings is the Huddersfield Narrow Canal - this waterway connected Huddersfield in West Yorkshire to Ashton-Under-Lyme in Greater Manchester. Opened in 1811, it had taken 17 years to build, instead of the original plan of 5 years! The main stumbling block had been the construction of Standedge, tunnel through the Peninnes.

Waterloo Mills were erected in1894 for William Broster & Co who manufactured silk sewing threads. Even in 1985 under the ownership of a company called 'Lux Lux' business was booming and the mills were manufacturing a wide range of lingerie and nightwear. Today the premises have been converted into luxury apartments.

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 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.
