Basement of the Newry MIll. This is the boiler on the left side of the basement. It extends another story above what you can see. I climbed up the ladder at the top to the top, but it's dark and you really can't see much. The boards up there are covered with bird stuff, so I wouldn't trust any weight to them. Also, very dark room and muddy after rain.

Kennecott, Alaska; shaker tables inside the mill building. Kennecott, also spelled Kennicott, was a company town owned by the Kennecott Copper Corporation. A large concentration mill was built to process the ore brought by cable tramways from the mines several miles away. In 1938 the ore was depleted and the mines, mill and town were abruptly closed and abandoned. Today, the old mill town is a National Historic Landmark and is protected by the National Park Service.
The Star was built in 1949 and glows white until 11:00 when it shuts off. The star used to glow red if there was a fatal car accident and used to glow red, white, and blue following 9/11.
The James Rice family built this mill in 1798 on Lost Creek in what is now Union County, Tennessee. Four generations of the family operated it there until 1935 when the Tennessee Valley Authority bought the land where it stood.
Norris Dam, which was the first of the TVA dams, would soon flood its location so in 1935 men from the Civilian Conservation Corps moved the mill to its present site just downstream of the dam.
During its long history the mill has at times been rigged to power a sawmill, a cotton gin, a trip hammer, and even a dynamo that supplied electricity to power lights for the Rice home in 1899.
In summer months the mill is still used to grind cornmeal which is available for sale at the site.

Mill's View was built for William Monroe, founder of Monrovia, as an 1887 wedding gift to his eldest son, Milton Monroe. In Los Angeles: An Architectural Guide, David Gebhard and Robert Winter suggest this 1887 Queen Anne home was designed by Joseph Cather Newsom. More likely, though, it's the work of Solon I. Haas, who also designed the home of the elder Monroe, the Oaks.

Gears for driving the mill stones. At left, background, is the "pit gear," the largest gear and the one connected directly to the water wheel. It connects to the smaller horizontally-mounted pegged gear (bottom, center) which is mounted coaxially on a shaft with the large toothed gear (right, background). The small, vertically-mounted pegged gear (right, top) connects to the grindstone above.
Displayed at Mill Cottage, built in 1866, Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. The toys belonged to the six Bishop children who lived in the house - Sidney b1869; Ethel b1871; William b1873; Amy b1876; Geoffrey b1887 and Myles b1890.
These two wooden arks are typical examples of flat bottomed, straw work arks, made in Germany in 19th century (usually the Erzgebirge region). The decoration is of fine veneer of multi coloured slivers of wood looking like straw. The carved wooden figures represent Noah, his wife and sons. The animals (originally many hundreds, in pairs like in the Bible story) were made by first turning a piece of wood to make a doughnut shape with the outside surface representing the animal. The 'doughnut' was then cut into sections to make many versions of that particular animal. They then had individual tails and ears etc added and painted.
These toys were designed to be played with only on Sundays (because of their Biblical theme) when the more religious families in the 19th century frowned on playing with toys or having fun on the Sabbath.

The historic Pillsbury A Mill, on the northeast side of the river. Minneapolis was once the flour capital of the world with such mills as Pillsbury and Gold Medal located across the river from one another. From the time it was build in 1881, it was the largest mill in the world--a title it held for over 40 years. The facade remains, and the building itself is now artist lofts.
Pillsbury A Mill. Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Quarry Bank Mill (also known as Styal Mill) in Styal, Cheshire, England, is one of the best preserved textile factories of the Industrial Revolution. Built in 1784, the cotton mill is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building. Quarry Bank Mill was established by Samuel Greg, and was notable for innovations both in machinery and also in its approach to labour relations, the latter largely as a result of the work of Greg's wife, Hannah Lightbody. The family took a somewhat paternalistic attitude toward the workers, providing medical care for all and limited education to the children, but all laboured roughly 72 hours per week until 1847 when a new law shortened the hours

Am I getting too grumpy in my old age?
This seems rather tacky and non-specific.
Lister's Mill (otherwise known as Manningham Mills) was the largest silk factory in the world. It is located in the Manningham district of Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK and was built by Samuel Cunliffe Lister to replace the original Manningham Mills that were destroyed by fire in 1871. The mill is a Grade II* listed building, built in the Italianate style of Victorian architecture.
At its height, Lister's employed 11,000 men, women and children - manufacturing high-quality textiles such as velvet and silk. It supplied 1,000 yards (910 m) of velvet for King George V's coronation and in 1976 new velvet curtains for the President Ford White House. The 1890-91 strike at the mill was important in the establishment of the Independent Labour Party which later helped found the modern-day Labour Party. On completion in 1873, Lister's Mill was the largest textile mill in North England. Floor space in the mill amounts to 27 acres (109,000 m²), and its imposing shape remains a dominant feature of the Bradford skyline. The chimney of the mill is 255 feet (78 m) high, and can be seen from just about anywhere in Bradford.
Powering all the machinery switched over to electricity in 1934. Before that huge steam boilers drove the mill. Every week the boilers consumed 1,000 tons of coal brought in on company rail wagons from the company collieries near Pontefract. Water was also vital in the process and the company had its own supply network including a large covered reservoir on-site (now in 2006 that area is a piazza and underground car park).
During World War II Lister's produced 1,330 miles (2,140 km) of real parachute silk, 284 miles (457 km) of flame-proof wool, 50 miles (80 km) of khaki battledress and 4,430 miles (7,130 km) of parachute cord.

Little Dutch Mill was a restaurant and gas station at the intersection of US 31E and KY 70 in Barren County. Originally, the tower was fitted with decorative windmill-like vanes.
Since this photo was made in 1996, the right side of the main building has been torn down. A top level has been added to the tower to give it the look of a lighthouse instead of a Dutch mill. Through the years, a number of businesses have located in the tower and in other, newer, buildings on the site
This "Dutch mill" should not be confused with another one--Dutch Mill Village tourist court--that once existed several miles down US 31E in Glasgow. That tourist court is now gone, but a postcard view of it can be found easily online.
Vanstone mill on Bowmanville Creek in Bowmanville, Municipality of Clarington, Durham Region, Ontario. This historic grist mill was built around 1850. Samuel Vanstone rented the mill in 1856 when he moved his operations from Tyrone. His son, Jabez bought the mill around 1886. The mill stayed in the Vanstone family until it ceased operations in 1975. It now houses several businesses. The water intake pipe is still there to the left at the base of the building. If you feel adventurous and want to see the mill from the river's edge where this photo was taken, don't climb down at the bridge. There is an easier way: Park your car in the park along the riverside further south from the bridge. There is a trail along the river that will lead you back underneath the bridge to this spot.
Bridgehaugh Mill presented an uninspiring frontage onto the street. Bridgehaugh Mill was originally a spinning and weaving mill built in 1865. It was taken over by Heather Mills who were further along the street on the opposite side in 1930 and later their subsidiary Logan & Turner manufactured woven felts in Bridgehaugh Mill for the paper trade.
Later the mill became a dyeworks. Since the date of this photo, this group of mill buildings was destroyed by fire in May 2011.

So there was a tremor in Singapore today from an earthquake off Sumatra and every building in the business district was evacuated.
It was quite amusing to see so many office people milling around aimlessly.
I have decided the best description for an earthquake is "group nausea" - you feel sick and turn around and realize everyone is looking green as well and then realize "oh crap"
...and part of the River Stour that feeds the water mill at Bourton Mill, Dorset.
Bourton lies on the River Stour which passes through the historic Bourton Mill, once home to the second largest water wheel (60ft in diameter) in Britain.
The mill, which is mentioned in the Domesday book, has had many incarnations. As a linen mill it processed flax and supplied canvas to the Royal Navy but when industry declined it was developed into a foundry with a blast furnace and was one of the first places to make the new threshing machines in the West of England. It went on to build boilers, steam lorries and gas engines as well as gaining a reputation as a builder of water wheels.
During the First World War Mills Bombs were produced here in vast quantities. After the Gasper dam burst upriver in the summer of 1917, much of the machinery was washed from the factory and it took a number of years for industry to re-start on the site. When it did return in 1933 the factory entered its final phase as a dried milk processing plant and this continued up until its closure in 1998.
It is now derelict with many of the oldest buildings in a state of collapse.

Chesterton Windmill is a Grade 1 listed 17th-century cylindrical stone tower windmill with an arched base. This unique windmill stands on six stone pillars, supporting two raised floors. It was built in 1632, and worked until 1910 when its machinery broke down. Amazing what you can see and do whilst waiting for the grandchildren to finish school!

There is a paved walking trail around the lake. The trail is is around 2.5km long. There is also a foot bridge along the eastern shoreline.
Fishing can be done at almost any point along the lake shoreline. The easiest sections are the south shoreline, the dock by the boat launch on the north shore and the foot bridge on the east side.
Fishing Season:
Fishing can be done year round at Mill Lake, but the best period is between March and November. The lake is stocked with rainbow trout by the Fraser Valley Trout Hatchery between March and June. Stockings are not done in July and August due to the warmer weather, but fishing for bass and other spiny ray species can be good during this period. Rainbow trout stockings resume in late September until November. Although it is usually cold between December and February, trout fishing can still be good at times.
