Canton grist mill on the Ganaraska River in Canton, Municipality of Port Hope, Northumberland County, Ontario. The stone insignia says W.H. Kinsman, Canton, 1886 so I assume 1886 was when this building was built. This former mill can still generate its own hydroelectricity from the turbine. It has been converted to office spaces for lease. The dam is hidden behind the trees to the left. Canton is about 10 km north of Port Hope proper on County Road 10. While you are in Canton you can also view the Batterwood House, which was the retirement home of the former Governor General of Canada, Vincent Massey, brother of the actor Raymond Massey and son of the original Massey in Massey Ferguson,
Mill Hill Broadway Station, 26 April 2022. The original station was opened by the Midland Railway in 1868 on its London Extension. It was completely rebuilt in the 1960's in association with the construction of the adjacent M4 motorway. It has not worn well. Pictured is the station entrance within a covered bus station - one of the most unprepossessing and unwelcoming station entrances I have ever seen.
This is an old water mill placed in the centre of the city Kongens Lyngby (The Kings Lyngby). The mill is part of a line of mills along the small river or stream "Mølleåen" (Mill + stream) that runs a total of 30 kilometer from Lake Bastrup to the ocean (Øresund) with a fall of 29 meter. This decent in altitude of 29 meter made it possible to use the water flow as a force to run the big wheels of the mills (you can see such a wheel on the photo) that drove the big stones for grinding the flour. Along this stretch nine mills was placed and the area - once of the most important industrial areas of Denmark - was known as "Mølleådalen" (Mill + Stream + Valley).

Built by John and James Bathgate in 1864 as Cheviot Mills. Renamed Heather Mills in 1892. This factory distributed pattern bunches direct to tailors and dressmakers, selling cloth by the yard. This became known as the "any length cut trade" and was a forerunner of mail order. Heather Mills also took over in 1930, the adjacent Bridgehaugh Mill, a spinning and weaving mill built in 1865 and later their subsidiary Logan & Turner manufactured woven felts for the paper trade. Historical information from Scottish Borders from Above by Alastair Campbell, published by Deveron Publications of Kelso in 2007.
Heather Mills closed in 2009 and was demolished following a fire in 2018.
An abandoned mill that made things out of rubber amongst other things, Volcrepe has wonderful drying sheds that are in a bad way. Most of these old mills have the drying sheds demolished by now; they're often the first bit that gets demolished/set on fire etc. They had a lot of them here. I'm not sure why you would need a drying shed here if it was rubber that you were making. Surely you could just dry it off with a towel.
I used work at this mill in Priest River, ID. Kinda have good memories of that, but glad to be working in a safer occupation now.
Looking away from Duston Mill, Northampton. This is a scene where you expect to see running water. I`ve caught many a good fish in this section of the Nene in the past. 24th December 2013
Riverside Mill, originally known as Dunsdale Mill, was built in 1837 for spinning and weaving. Owned by Waddle & Turnbull, later by Brown & Allan and then by Laidlaw & Fairgrieve. Today, this thriving business hub is a far cry from its last incarnation, Laidlaw and Fairgrieve woollen mill, which closed in 2000 with the loss of 100 jobs. Now, it is home to 60 local firms, ranging from a performing arts school, kidswear, garages, physios, music rooms and flight cases for bands.
THIS is how a historic former cotton mill will look after its imminent transformation into a £10.1million university building.
Planning permission has now been granted for the University Technical College (UTC) proposed for the Grade II-listed Victoria Mill, in Burnley.
The conversion of the historic mill will be undertaken by Nelson-based Barnfield Construction in a joint venture with Burnley Bor-ough Council and will commence in the coming weeks.
The college is planned to be fully operational by September 2013.
Built in the 1850s, Victoria Mill was originally a Throstle cotton factory.
The buildings occupy a roughly triangular site bounded by the Leeds Liverpool Canal and Trafalgar Street.

Built in 1894, Alley Mill is one of the most photographed mills, if not places, in the state of Missouri....
Today, as part of Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Alley Spring offers its cool waters and tranquil atmosphere to all Americans. It is still very popular with local people who still camp, picnic and hold reunions at Alley. A hundred Springs and Falls have come and gone since Alley Mill first opened its doors. As a commercial mill, it went out of business over sixty years ago, but as the anchor for a community it remains firmly anchored in the rock of time and tradition....

Vandals had opened the entrance from the weir to the mill lade, causing some damage.
Interesting opportunity to see the water flowing through what would have been the main watermill.
Old mill building at Port Adelaide: quite difficult to capture with any sensible colour balance as it's illuminated with a number of uplit sodium lamps. Fabulously detailed building and a Port Adelaide icon - just wish we could have gotten into it!
This well worn "Little Mill Brick Co Pontypool" die was photographed at the Usk Museum of Rural Life, Usk, Monmouthshire. It would appear that brick making at Little Mill dates back to at least 1850. Some Burgoyne bricks are faintly embossed in small lettering with "Estb 1850", and another, probably later commemorative brick, is incised "Little Mill, Estb 1850". The works was alongside the Newport and Hereford line at Little Mill Junction, where a line branched off eastwards through Usk into Gloucestershire. A spur into the works was laid in 1869 when the owner was given as a CH Leigh. The 1882 OS map, and subsequent editions until 1920, give the works as "Bryn Tovey Brick Works" (from the nearby Bryn Tovey Wood); from 1920 to 1988, it is marked the "Little Mill Brick Works".
Between 1910 and 1920, Lougher who took over the works from the Burgoynes, changed the name to "Little Mill Brick Co" and later it became a limited company. Kelly's for 1926, and all directories subsequently, use the name Little Mill Brick Co Ltd". Lougher himself died in 1948. The spur into the works was removed in 1966, doubtless a victim of the infamous Beeching Cuts. The firm continued into the 1980s, the last directory entry being the 1981 Industrial Directory of Wales. Today, the site is the Little Mill Go Kart Track.
This is a shot of the old Bouckville Mill, which is now a feed store, taken from Canal Road. A little bit of history: It was founded in 1842 by Samuel R. Mott in Bouckville and was built to press Mott's cider and vinegar when he lived there. When they started out, with the help of hitched horses that went in a circle, they crushed the apples between two large stone drums and were then shoveled into cribs, packed in straw, and pressed by three men leaning on a lengthy level that operated a jack screw. The juice then ran off into a tank and was ready for bottling. As the cider caught the fancy of his neighbors, the demand grew and so did the size of the mill. As time went on water power and steam replaced the old way of using horses to power the process. They began to ship beyond the local market and in 1900 the Mott Co. meged with the Duffy Cider Co. of Rochester. At the Bouckville Mill, scientific methods for filtering and preseving cider and vineger were adopted.. This new oxidation process was employed here for the first time in the country. In the 1930s the company began to diversify and added to new products and as time went on this location was no longer needed. It is now a feed store and is located on Canal Road next to the old Chenango Canal in Bouckville, NY.
This is Mill Springs Mill, which is a historical gristmill from the 1800s that is preserved and administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District. The mill, shown here Oct. 27, 2010, is located off Kentucky Highway 90 between Burnside and Monticello on the banks of scenic Lake Cumberland in Mill Springs, Ky. (USACE photo by Lee Roberts)
Riverside Mill, originally known as Dunsdale Mill, was built in 1837 for spinning and weaving. Owned by Waddle & Turnbull, later by Brown & Allan and then by Laidlaw & Fairgrieve. Now part occupied by various businesses. Today, this thriving business hub is a far cry from its last incarnation as Laidlaw and Fairgrieve woollen mill, which closed in 2000 with the loss of 100 jobs. Now, it is home to 60 local firms, ranging from a performing arts school, kidswear, garages, physios, music rooms and flight cases for bands.
Buccleuch Mills is one of the oldest mills currently producing clothing. The 1824 map of Hawick shows this building marked as Rope Works.
Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright. From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. The site presents a remarkable picture of an early textile factory complex and is Grade 1 Listed. It is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
