A pleasant 3 story mill in the village of Honley. As with all the previous visitors any history was hard to come by. The village as with many in the area were dotted with textile mills, and appears that cloth making has taken place in Honley since the 11th Century.
Very little remains regarding the company itself within the building apart from a certificate of Incorporation in 1960 establishing itself as a limited Company. Information of the companies activities are also limited, presumably they wove and/or sold rugs, there are some bits and pieces of really old looms in the loft space but that’s about it. It seems that the company only operated for 15 years until it was wound up. After that the bottom of this mill was last used around 2008 as a M.O.T centre/garage place.
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.
The stamping mill was built in 1878 for the Plumas-Eureka Mines and eventually had 60 stamps. The stamps were powered by a water wheel supplemented by a steam engine. Now part of Plumas-Eureka State Park, Johnsville, California.

The Old Mill
Gateside Mills, Fife now a small business location for Elsa Dalgety a top designer and coutier. A snack shop is available on the first floor.
Garnett's paper mill was once a massive place. Today it has nearly all been knocked down and I got there too late and there was only a few bits left so I took some pictures that were grainy and out of focus. Like usual.
Doubly mothballed.
The Silk Mill Museum Derby is currently “mothballed” and these are some of the stores containing things not on display
This features a (bubble wrapped) collection of Qualcast mowers!

Part of the former Thames Tunnel Mills a Grade II listed building,Rotherhithe Street, now converted to flats. The tunnel from which the name comes is the Brunel tunnel which passes under the river here, now used by London Overground between Rotherhithe and Wapping stations. Also of interest near here is the Brunel museum.

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.
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.
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.

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.
