Groff's Mill built in 1860 has what I call "That Civil War Look." I don't know what that particular architectural style is called but whenever you drive through a Pennsylvania town founded during or around the Civil War it has that look.
This was taken the same day as the facing the fears one was done and we had come through the Washington National Forest out into the Cowpasture Valley in the beautiful (and favorite of ours) Highland County. The sun was so strong that day that it was making beautiful strong shadows and areas of light and dark. I don't know the name of this mill or anything else about it unfortunately.
Hyde Mill is really scenic in the late afternoon light. As much as I like color images of it, I think black and white works somewhat better.
Thanks for your visits and comments.
The first record of a mill at Worsbrough was in the Domesday book of 1086, although the exact location of the mill along the River Dove is unknown. The oldest part of the mill standing today dates from about 1625 and forms the two storey stone building known as the Old Mill, which houses the waterwheel. Before the Mill House was built in the mid 18th century the miller and his family would have lived in the mill itself. There are large fireplaces on both the ground and first floors and the lintel over the fireplace on the first floor is inscribed with several dates and initials of the millers.
The Old Mill was probably modernised in the early 1820’s to improve its output, and in the 1840’s the New Mill was built next door. The machinery in the New Mill was powered by a steam engine and a third floor, where grain could be stored in bulk, was added.
Trade for corn and flour began to drop off towards the end of the 19th century as cheap imported wheat came in from abroad.
An old abandoned mill in Ozark, Missouri. It's nearby, but I had never seen it before.
It began operating in 1839, and the first post office of Ozark, MO, was located inside the mill, which was named Hoover Mill at that time. John Morris, the founder of Bass Pro, has talked about having a restaurant in the old building, which he now owns. What a view that restaurant would have!
Originally established in 1750, Wade's Mill is the oldest continually operating grist mill in the Shenandoah Valley. Located near Raphine in Rockbridge County, Virginia, it is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. I stopped by the mill this past weekend and had the opportunity to see the interior as well. Information from the mill's website.
The Grade II-listed Hardwater Mill is just to the west of Wellingborough in Northamptonshire, on the River Nene near Great Doddington. The buildings date from the mid-1700s to the early 1800s, though there has been a watermill on this site since the time of the Domesday Book. Milling ceased in 1946 and it is now a private residence.
Mill Brow has been designated as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest. Mill Brow is a small hamlet I struggled to find it on a map.
It has just over fifty dwellings, mostly built of local millstone grit with the Pub Hare and Hounds lying at the centre of the hamlet. From the late medieval period Mill Brow was a community of scattered farms. By the early nineteenth century a dramatic change had occurred with the building of four cotton mills on Mill Beck, the stream flowing through Mill Brow which then became a flourishing industrial centre. With the decline in the importance of water power the mills fell into disuse and today their legacy is best seen in weavers’ and mill workers cottages. Mill Brow has been designated as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest.
Former flour mill, now used as art gallery in the Summer months. Listed building that was previously used by monks at The Priory
The picturesque Alley Spring Mill that is located six miles west of Eminence, Mo on State Route 106. The present building was constructed during 1893-1894 by George Washington McCaskill as a merchant mill. It was larger than most mills in the Jacks Fork area and replaced an earlier mill on this same site that was built by 1868.
The Isaac Ludwig Mill operated until the 1970's. That is why the portion of canal is still in such good condition and the lock is also well preserved. The mill was both a grist mill and a saw mill.
Taken from the Humber Bridge, Hessle Mill and the country park. This mill was (unusually) not for grinding corn but for crushing chalk, so this is also known as the "Whiting Mill". It was built around 1810, the sails and cap were taken off in 1925 after which time it was powered by an engine. It finished production in the 1960s. Once upon a time it had five sails. It's now restored and re-opened as a visitor centre.

Milky Way over Powder Mills, Dartmoor. In 1844 a factory for making gunpowder was built on the open moor, not far from Postbridge. Gunpowder was needed for the tin mines and granite quarries then in operation on the moor.
There are extensive remains of this factory still visible. Two chimneys still stand and the walls of the two sturdily-built 'incorporating' mills with central waterwheels survive .They were built with substantial walls but flimsy roofs so that in the event of an explosion, the force of the blast would be directed safely upwards.
"Unique en son genre", déclara Napoléon en arrivant à Zaanse Schans. 600 moulins à vent formaient la première zone industrielle du monde. Aujourd'hui, les 250 moulins restants constituent un fascinant musée à ciel ouvert. Les cinq plus gros moulins du monde sont situés au centre de Schiedam. Les moulins à vent de Schiedam, qui jouèrent un rôle de premier plan dans la production de gin, mesurent plus de 40 m de haut. En termes de paysage, les 19 moulins de Kinderdijk, destinés à assécher les polders, remportent la palme. Kinderdijk, site classé au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO, est un chef-d'œuvre d'ingénierie et un grand classique des paysages hollandais.

Snapped at the local Mill pond in Emsworth. A classic Swan pose set against inky black pond water. This was a relatively bright day and with the spot metering on the camera, and the contrast between the swan and the water, the water came out very underexposed creating this black looking water.
The Swan has struck up this pose because there is a Black Swan visiting the area and there are some territorial games going on just out of sight.
A little surreal for mid-day but it does give a slightly more arty feel to the pic than it might otherwise have had.
I might also add that I had gone to the pond all setup to snap some in-flight action when I spontaneously took this. A shutter speed of 1/12800 and ISO 1000 was possibly overkill for this somewhat stationery subject! :-)
Thanks for looking.
Mill Ruins Park is a park in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota, standing on the west side of Saint Anthony Falls on the Mississippi River and running from 3rd Ave. S. to about 9th Ave. S. The park interprets the history of flour milling in Minneapolis and shows the ruins of several flour mills that were abandoned.
The first round of archaeological surveys in the 1980s was intended to save the ruins from destruction as a result of road construction projects. Later, in the 1990s, the focus shifted from environmental impact assessment to exposing ruins for their interpretive value. As the ruins were made visible to the public, the goal was to create assets for education, tourism, and commercial development. The excavations for Mill Ruins Park began in 1998 and continued through 2001. The process also involved stabilizing the remains of the Washburn "A" Mill, which had burned in 1991. The Washburn "A" Mill became part of the Mill City Museum. (Wikipedia)
This old mill stands at Newport, Kentucky's west side. Long disconnected from rail and closed for business.
Lanterman's Mill, the highlight of the Mill Creek Metroparks in Youngstown, Ohio, was built in 1845. After restoration in the 1980's, the mill is still in operation grinding corn, wheat, and buckwheat and is open to the public for tours.
After a steep hike through a small canyon I reached this beautiful spot near Gerstruben, an ancient village in the Bavarian alps. After scouting this location I decided to get rid of my shoes for this photo. The water was so cold that I had to hurry. But as you all know, if you find a spot like this you do not take only one two photos. Finally I went back home quite satisfied with some photos I took but with very numb feet.
