Under St Tudur's at the bottom of Mynyddislwyn is Gelligroes Mill beside the ancient bridge over the Sirhowy River. Miller's son Arty Moore was a radio pioneer and picked up the SOS call from the RMS Titanic here in 1914; no one believed him until the newspaper headlines the following day.

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.
The old windmill at Ballingsta, overlooking the Orlången lake in Huddinge. It dates back to 1877. Originally the mill stood lower down on a field at the Balingsta Farm but was then moved up onto the hill. This type of mill is known as a "Dutch Mill" which means that it could rotate with the direction of the wind.
Gunnestorp's Mölla - Grandpa owned it for a few years. Not exactly sure what years, just that they sold it in the 1930s.
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.
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.

I drive by this waterfall every day on the way to work. Many days it is dry, with just a trickle coming out of the bottom of the dam. But when a storm comes through, the water comes up to the bottom of the bridge and it's exciting and beautiful and dangerous all at once.
This waterfall once ran the mill at Rex Mills. Rex, Georgia was once the home of Rex Furniture Company, a manufacturer founded in the mid-1800s. The factory is empty now, but the waterfall still graces us.

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

One of two old engines in the basement of the Newry Mill. Judging by pictures on the internet there was originally a flywheel attached to the peg coming out of the side of the engine. I really like the reflection of the light in the water.
Located in Lindale, GA near Rome, Lindale Mill is an old textile mill that opened in 1896. It was later sold to Pepperell Manufacturing, giving the community and school the name “Pepperell." The mill employed 1,393 people and produced 1/7 of all textiles in Georgia before closing in 2001. A few movies have been filmed here recently. The mill is a fascinating place to visit.
