Old mill building at Port Adelaide: quite difficult to capture with any sensible colour balance as it's illuminated with a number of uplit sodium lamps. Fabulously detailed building and a Port Adelaide icon - just wish we could have gotten into it!
This well worn "Little Mill Brick Co Pontypool" die was photographed at the Usk Museum of Rural Life, Usk, Monmouthshire. It would appear that brick making at Little Mill dates back to at least 1850. Some Burgoyne bricks are faintly embossed in small lettering with "Estb 1850", and another, probably later commemorative brick, is incised "Little Mill, Estb 1850". The works was alongside the Newport and Hereford line at Little Mill Junction, where a line branched off eastwards through Usk into Gloucestershire. A spur into the works was laid in 1869 when the owner was given as a CH Leigh. The 1882 OS map, and subsequent editions until 1920, give the works as "Bryn Tovey Brick Works" (from the nearby Bryn Tovey Wood); from 1920 to 1988, it is marked the "Little Mill Brick Works".
Between 1910 and 1920, Lougher who took over the works from the Burgoynes, changed the name to "Little Mill Brick Co" and later it became a limited company. Kelly's for 1926, and all directories subsequently, use the name Little Mill Brick Co Ltd". Lougher himself died in 1948. The spur into the works was removed in 1966, doubtless a victim of the infamous Beeching Cuts. The firm continued into the 1980s, the last directory entry being the 1981 Industrial Directory of Wales. Today, the site is the Little Mill Go Kart Track.

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. Now part occupied by various businesses. Today, this thriving business hub is a far cry from its last incarnation as 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.

Cromford Mill, the world’s first successful water powered cotton spinning mill, was built in 1771 by Sir Richard Arkwright. From then until around 1790, he continued to develop the mills, warehouses and workshops, which now form the Cromford Mills site. The site presents a remarkable picture of an early textile factory complex and is Grade 1 Listed. It is part of the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site.
Fannyside Mill was a corn mill and was built around 1763.
It was still a working mill right up until the early 1960's.
The mill was powered by water drawn from East Fannyside Loch.

Brownfields Mill, Ancoats, Manchester, England is a Grade II* listed building. It was constructed in 1825 and served as a room and power mill. From 1910 it was used as a factory for the AVRO aircraft manufacturer, founded by A.V. Roe.
The first all-British aircraft to fly was the Roe 1 triplane constructed by A.V. Roe, the year before AVRO was founded. At Brownfields Mill A.V. Roe started production of some of the earliest British planes – the world’s first cabin monoplane Avro Type D and the military Type 500.
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 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.
You Tube video of the Rice Mill can be seen here.

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.
