The long-abandoned Birmingham Mill, Briensburg, Kentucky. The mill was moved to this location in the '40s before the town of Birmingham was flooded by the creation of Kentucky Lake. I can remember stopping here with my dad in the early '70s when I went to Briensburg School — I think I sometimes got a strawberry Nehi out of the old "pull real hard" bottle vending machine.
I managed to mill up a double sided logic board for the next battery charger. Today I'll solder it up.

Near Blairgowrie, Perthshire, Scotland.
During the 19th century, there were 12 mills along the River Ericht, with flax spinning being overtaken by jute from the 1850s.
The mill was rebuilt with a wheel at one end an engine at the other in 1865, with American Civil War profits.
Dundee engineers (J & C Carmichael) provided the power plant
Single cylinder horizontal engine, 22" cylinder, 4' stroke, 17' flywheel, later drop valves.
Keathbank has/or had Scotland's largest water wheefitted cica 1865, by J Kerr (Dundee), 14' wide, 18' diameter, 4 sets cast-iron spokes.
Ruston & Hornsby Diesel Engine added circa 1937.
The declining textile industry meant gradual closure of all but Keathbank which finally closed as a working mill in 1979.
Sir John Mills, aged nearly 70, in the cameo role of ‘Michael,’ on Ryan’s Daughter, filmed in 1970 on Noordhoek’s Long Beach
In 1948, while in the Navy, I saw a film which was to have a lasting effect on my life.
It was Boulting’s production of Scott of the Antarctic with Sir John Mills playing my school-boy hero Robert Falcon Scott, the legendary British polar explorer. Although I was still a young man, I had already been to the Southern ocean, to Marion Island, and latitudes beyond. I had experienced first hand, and could identify with, what is so poignantly portrayed in the film. Perhaps because of all this, Sir John became forever, my real, live “Scott.”
Little did I know, all those years ago, that I would one day not only have the honour to meet him, get to know him a little, but also photograph him.
In 1965, because I needed a break from stills photography I joined SATOUR as their chief photographer and some years later, in 1970, I happened to be on assignment in Cape Town for the organisation. I’d also heard that, co-incidentally, my other hero, the great film director David Lean, was in town making the movie Ryan’s Daughter at Noordhoek’s Long Beach.
As I had just finished my other SATOUR assignment, I decided to get some pictures of the filming for our publicity journalist. After meeting with the film’s publicist, I was escourted onto the set to, at last, meet the great Mr. Lean.
As we approached three men who were having a discussion with their backs to us, one of whom I recognised as Lean, the publicist tapped David lightly and said, “ Excuse me David, this is Bob Martin, SATOUR’s photographer, who is going to do a few pictures on the set for his head-office in Pretoria, I hope that’s OK?”
The man I’d not recognised turned around and beamed, “Hey Bob, what are you doing here? What a surprise!” It was none other than my good old friend on Zulu, Charles Parker the famous prosthetic makeup specialist who, after we’d ‘wrapped’ Zulu, I’d not seen for seven years. Charlie was, I learned, on the picture to do John Mills’ special makeup as ‘Michael’ (the village simpleton in the film.) It was so good to see him, especially as he went on to re-introduce me to David, rather flamboyantly. “This guy, David, is one of the best stills-men I’ve ever worked with,” said Charlie.
I am unashamed to admit that I actually blushed. It was a very good feeling and I will never forget it, or dear Charlie, who has now sadly passed on.
I had arrived when their filming was all but complete, except for the odd ‘inter-cut’ shot but, because they were running overtime on their schedule, their unit stills camera man had had to go back to the UK to start work on another film.
“Would you like a job for a week” said David Lean, my hero of Lawrence of Arabia”.
“Would I?” I said.
After I’d arranged my leave from SATOUR, I hung around the set shooting the odd pictures they needed and Sir John and I became friends during that somewhat surreal week. He was a warm person and I, in turn, warmed towards him immediately. He and his lovely wife Hailey-Bell, were, however, not only warm, but gentle.
I got to take three or four pictures of my boyhood hero, the ‘real’ Scott of the Antarctic, during that week, including this one. Only this time he was in the cameo role of ‘Michael,’ in Ryan’s Daughter.
It was good enough for me.

The current (and derelict) Millenium Mills building dates back to 1934, built for Spillers Ltd, replacing the original mill constructed in 1905 for William Vernon & Sons millers (the mill was named after a blend of flour that won the 1899 'The Miller Challenge Cup'). The mill, and two neighbours, were sited on the dock to allow grain imported from oversea to be ground into flour as soon as possible. The mills were badly damaged in the Second World War, reopening in 1953 and continuing until the 1980s, the end brought about following the closure of the Royal Victoria Dock.
The Victoria Dock opened in 1855 (the 'Royal' was granted in 1880). This was the first dock designed to accommodate steam ships, the first with rail links to the national rail network and the first to use hydraulic machinery.
By 1860, the shipping was estimated to total 850,000 tonnes, larger than any of the other London ports. Although badly damaged throughout the Second World War, the Royal Victoria Docks were restored and returned to its former strength. The decline came in the 1960s with containerisation and larger ships shifting traffic to Tilbury. The docks closed in 1980.
House Mill, Three Mills Island, Bromley by Bow in East London. This is the largest existing tidal mill in the world.
The geo location information on here is not much use, partly because there are two locations on Flickr listed as 'Bromley, London, England', and clicking the link no longer takes you to the map. This is Bromley by Bow in East London, the other is in South East London.

Mill Lake in Abbotsford is a great location for a stroll. A two kilometer path circles the lake where you can enjoy a variety of birds that call the area home.

Stanley Mills is one the best-preserved relics of the 18th-century Industrial Revolution. It was established as a cotton mill by local merchants, with support from the English cotton baron Richard Arkwright. Textiles were produced here for 200 years.The mills were built in 1786 at a hairpin bend in the River Tay, where tremendous water-power was available. Machinery was powered initially by water wheels, and latterly by electricity generated by water-powered turbines. As the market changed and new technologies developed, buildings were added, adapted, expanded, shut down, reopened and demolished.The visitor centre tells the stories of those who worked there and the products they made. The superb interactive displays let you discover if your fingers are as nimble as a child labourer’s or compete to see if you are tough enough in business to make the mills profitable. Hear the clamour of the factory floor and see how engineers harnessed the energy of the Tay as well as the machinery that turned raw cotton into products sold around the world. The building to the left is the old gatehouse and the main mill was on the right. The building at the rear was also part of the mill but is now converted into luxury flats
