Mill farm lake in Kirkby,Merseyside.

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.

A friend showed me this postcard dating from 1935 of his home in Vicq sur Nahon (36) France, as it was when in use as a mill.

 

It is one of many mills which were powered by the River Nahon.

Hodgson Mill is described as the most photographed mill in Missouri. I know that Alley mill has to be a close 2nd. The mill now serves as a gift shop.

Little Mill Junction signal box by the Down line. 12:51, Wednesday 5th October 1988

 

Little Mill Junction signal box is a McKenzie & Holland type 3 design built for the Great Western Railway Company that opened in 1883 fitted with a 40 lever McKenzie & Holland 1873 Patent frame. A replacement 40 lever Great Western Railway Company 3-bar frame was installed in 1908 and the signal box was extended at the north end to accommodate a replacement 55 lever Great Western Railway Company vertical tappet 5-bar frame that was installed 20th to 24th November 1938. A British Railways Western Region entrance-exit signalling panel was commissioned on 30th September 1979 allowing the closure of Pontypool Road Station South signal box and Llantarnam Junction signal box to be reduced to a non block post, and as a result the lever frame was reduced to 17 levers between 30th September and 8th October 1979

 

30-52 painted on the signal box indicates it is 30 miles and 52 chains from the 0 point at the former Rotherwas Junction

The Boott Mill in Lowell, Massachusetts reflected in the waters of the Eastern Canal. Home of the Boott Cotton Mills Museum, which is part of the Lowell National Historical Park, which honors Lowell as the first successfully planned industrial city in the United States.

Eling Tide Mill, situated on an artificial causeway in Eling in Hampshire, England, is the sole remaining operating tide mill in the UK. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book, although the current dam was rebuilt roughly 200 years ago after storm damage.

 

The mill has a pair of independent waterwheels designed to drive a millstone each. One wheel runs, the other is kept as a static exhibit. The running wheel and its milling and other mechanisms are encased for safety of miller and visitors, the static wheel is immobile and kept that way to show visitors the detail that is obscured by the running mechanism's safety enclosures. The mill can be productive for between five and seven hours each day

The lowest level mill beside the Talysarn pit and the only one surviving, albeit in a ruinous state. To the left of this shot, the two John Robinson inclines go up towards Cilgwyn. We went up there in 2017, but such is the aggressive growth of herbage (brambles and gorse) that we had to admit defeat last week!

This mill was built in 1912 as part of a sugarcane plantation in Koloa, and closed down in 1996.

It was a very bright day, so have tweaked in Lightroom, to subdue the highlights and raise the shadows

 

Lindsay House (1863) Snuff Mill Road, pre-dates most Glasgow tenements.Cathcart Mill and the Old Bridge (also known as Snuff Mill Bridge)over the White Cart Water .The date of the bridge's construction is uncertain but it was probably erected in the 18th century using masonry from an earlier one. A few yards south of the bridge stood a corn and wheat mill and next to it stood Millholm Mill. Originally built as a paper mill, Millholm was converted into a snuff mill at the height of the tobacco trade. When the tobacco boom years were over Millholm reverted to its former use and by 1835 was once more a paper mill. The bridge has a datestone of 1624 incorporated in 18th-century reconstruction.

The Mill Garden is a small garden tucked behind Warwick Castle. It has amazing views of the castle and the river Avon. We visited here on the bank holiday weekend and the garden was bursting with colour. Very peaceful place at the end of a picture postcard street.

A worn out mill wheel leaning onto the base of the mill. The U-shaped stone is a bearing that the main axle of a windmill rests on.

 

The mill is named Kullamöllan. It is located just outside Lövestad in the southernmost province of Sweden - Skåne.

 

The long-abandoned Birmingham Mill, Briensburg, Kentucky. The mill was moved to this location in the '40s before the town of Birmingham was flooded by the creation of Kentucky Lake. I can remember stopping here with my dad in the early '70s when I went to Briensburg School — I think I sometimes got a strawberry Nehi out of the old "pull real hard" bottle vending machine.

Nice to see Mills Lake in the mid-morning!

The old Johnson City Feed Mill

Keegan Mills (right) is in his freshman year at Lindenwood and was afforded the opportunity for a mid-semester reunion with his parents Sonya and Brett (who coaches the Texas A&M team) and girlfriend Lacey in Norman, OK at the ARC 7s Series Grand Final. The Mills family is arguably one of the more active rugby families in Texas and we appreciate all that they have accomplished and all that they do for rugby!

Every so often I surprise myself and snap a photograph as I intended it to be. Well, almost. I didn't really want the Folders coffee can in the background. But it's hard to avoid them. Scores of the ubiquitous coffee can are spotted around the machine shop and engine house to hold parts.

 

In the picture, El Dorado County Western Railway volunteer machinist Alberto was milling matching pieces for a set of brake beams for the Diamond and Caldor Railbus Flatcar No. 10.

No trouble at this mill. The beautiful Moulin de Connelles in Normandy, near Rouen, just before petit dejeuner on (sadly) departure day.
