Pictures of Dutch windmills are well known all over the world. In most cases the mill is shown in its full glory. The picture of this windmill, Molen 'De Roos' in Delft, gives you only a detail. But even the detail is not complete; you can see the holes where normally the stocks of the sails are mounted.
The sails (and other parts of the mill) are temporarily removed to avoid damage by construction work very close to the mill.

The Shenandoah-Dives Mill, near Silverton, Colorado is located within the famous "San Juan Triangle" mining center of southwestern Colorado, which also includes the historic mining towns of Telluride and Ouray, and encompasses one of the most richly mineralized areas of North America. Fourteen thousand feet mountain peaks tower over the mill, which sits at the bottom of Arrastra Gulch in Baker's Park on the Animas River. The mill has retained an exceptional degree of historic integrity largely due to its isolation, due to its distance from major population centers, altitude, and severe winter climate. Currently, approximately 450 people reside year-round in Silverton.
Constructed in 1929, the Shenandoah-Dives Mill is the finest extant example of a selective flotation mill. This property illustrates the transformation of the mining and milling industry and the distinctive characteristics of the hard-rock milling process during the first half of the twentieth century. Flotation, introduced to the American mining industry in 1912, was an innovative concentration process that separated valuable minerals from complex ores. This process efficiently and economically concentrated complex ores that were practically impossible to treat by earlier methods. The flotation process solved the problem of diminishing high-grade ore supplies and allowed increased minerals production.

Said to have inspired 'Lord of the Rings' author JRR Tolkien, who as a boy lived nearby, Sarehole Mill has been well preserved and owes much to this association. Well worth a visit if you're ever in the area, especially if you are a LOTR fan. Also visit nearby Moseley Bog and 'The Shire' country park.
The millpond has been drained to allow restoration work to be carried out.

old time lumber mills are another industry going tits up in the pacific northwest. Buying cheaper foreign lumber and "big fish eats little fish" mega corporation buying or bankrupting smaller mills like this one. I happen to live in a damp foggy mill town in the Pacific northwest and at one time almost everyone worked in the mill. now the mill does a fraction of business it use to and often closes for weeks at a time.
Gleaston Mill is a water-mill built in 1774 largely with stone from Gleaston Castle and Furness Abbey! It only stopped working in the 1960s and is currently under restoration.
From the Richmond Hill website:
Mill Pond Park is one of our most popular outdoor recreation and entertainment areas. Overlooking the pond you'll find a playground, boardwalk and trail, gazebo and many areas to sit and relax. The park also has washrooms and parking.
In the winter, Mill Pond is a great place to go skating and/or play hockey with friends and family. Be sure to check that the ice is safe first. Signage is posted at the south end of the pond.
Mill Pond is named for the sawmill operation that once used the pond for power. The sawmill is an important part of our cultural heritage because it was one of many things that made the heart of Richmond Hill an attractive place to settle in the late 1800s.

Looking at the Mill Street carpark entrance from across Wright Street. This fully automatic carpark is my favourite one, and as a bonus it is very close to work.
The old Mill School in Ray Township Michigan is receiving a complete repainting. The school was known as the "Mill School" because of its proximity to Wolcott Mill which operated until 1967, AKA Ray Township District School No. 1, the building is now used as a public library for this rural community. It's an excellent reuse for this historic building.
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.
Beacon continues to have several surviving mill buildings and more than just about anywhere else in the region. Everything from hats to bricks was made here. The traffic light in the center of the street is unique and looks like it was recently restored. I like this town.
I think this is Neighbors Mill. It is on the corner behind the store as you turn off of CR240 toward Guntersville Dam
So, I stopped by the Franklin Cider Mill to kick off another year of cider mill season. As usual, Franklin Cider Mill was a solid performer in the cider department. Not the best, but right up there.
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 !

Watkins Mill, in Lawson, Missouri, is a preserved woolen mill dating to the mid-19th century. Waltus Watkins built housing for the mill workers nearby, creating one of the first planned communities in North America. The community was effectively self-sufficient, the mill producing yarn and wool cloth. The mill operated at capacity until 1886.
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.

From www.nps.gov/nr/feature/places/14000435.htm:
"Located on the Quinebaug River in Putnam, Cargill Falls Mill, as it is known today, is an expansive mill property that reflects the early development, growth and nearly continuous operation of the textile industry in northeastern Connecticut. Fueled by an abundant supply of water power, the site supported a variety of early milling operations and later became the location of Windham County's first cotton mill. Expanded and modified in the mid-nineteenth century to accommodate the production of woolen goods, the twenty building complex, with structures dating from 1806, represents more than 178 years of mill architecture. The mill's prime location, successful entrepreneurship, and access to immigrant populations and rail lines, promoted the development of what was to become the downtown core of Putnam, Connecticut."
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.
