Clarence Mill at Bollington has survived the end of textile production to become a mixture of offices and apartments with a scattering of small businesses. The location beside the Macclesfield Canal in Bollington is very pleasant.
The mill itself is a large four-story building that was built in 1876 complete with 1,500 pound French Burr Mill Stones and a 100 ft. wooden raceway that feeds water to a water turbine - not a vertical water wheel. The mill was constructed in 1876 by John Martin when he came to Georgia to mine for gold. Unlike most miners, Mr. Martin made Sautee-Nacoochee Valley his permanent homeIn 1902 Dr. Lamartine G. Hardman, governor of Georgia from 1927 -1931, bought the mill and named it "Nora Mill" in memory of his sister Nora. Nora Mill remained in the Hardman Family until 1998, when it, along with 300 surrounding acres, was purchased by a group of investors associated with Nacoochee Village, Ltd.
A visit to the National Trust owned Flatford Mill in Suffolk.
Flatford Mill is a Grade I listed watermill on the River Stour at Flatford in East Bergholt, Suffolk, England. According to the date-stone the mill was built in 1733, but some of the structure may be earlier. Attached to the mill is a 17th-century miller's cottage which is also Grade I listed. The property is in Dedham Vale, a typically English rural landscape.
The mill was owned by the artist John Constable's father and is noted, along with its immediate surroundings as the location for many of Constable's works. It is referred to in the title of one of his most iconic paintings, Flatford Mill (Scene on a Navigable River), and mentioned in the title or is the subject of several others including: Flatford Mill from a lock on the river Stour; Flatford Mill from the lock (A water mill); The Lock. The Hay Wain, which features Willy Lott's Cottage, was painted from the front of the mill.
The mill is located downstream from Bridge Cottage which, along with neighbouring Valley Farm and Willy Lott's Cottage, are leased to the Field Studies Council, a group that uses them as locations for arts, ecology and natural history based courses.
On the guided tour of Flatford Mill. Our guide unlocked a tour and he showed us round the back area that people without a ticket for the tour wouldn't have been able to get up and close to. But we couldn't go inside as that's part of the Field Studies Centre.

The site is located on Decew Rd, a little west of the intersection with Merritville (No.50) Highway in the southern outskirts of St. Catharines. This site is on the Bruce Trail and is a good starting point for hikes. It is also a good staging area for bicycle tours southward into the Short Hills, St. Johns, and Effingham.
The mill was built of local stone in 1872 on the site of a former blacksmith and carpentry shop. Water was diverted from Beaverdams Creek to power the mill. Several millers leased the mill, and in 1883, it was purchased by Wilson Morningstar, after whom it is named. Destroyed by fire in 1895, it was rebuilt and operated until 1933. It then fell into disrepair but has recently been reconstructed and made into a museum.
A highlight of this stop is Decew Falls, which cascade 22 metres (72 feet) into a bowl-shaped amphitheatre just behind the mill.
Mill Creek runs through Mulino, Oregon in the Willamette Valley near Oregon City. Autumn reflections mix with running water and leaves in the creek.
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.

This mill was originally the center of town here in Manchester, Michigan, where the farmers brought there wheat to be ground into flour. 1860s. It was operating until recently. At the time, it was the oldest, longest operating water mill in Michigan
Horsebridge Mill in East Sussex. Just a couple of miles south of Hellingly. This mill was last used in 1969.
A veiw of the Keathbank mill from the foot bridge.
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.
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.
The Mill Race was built in 1864 to provide a channel for power to the local mills. It is constructed of locally quarried limestone blocks and is linked to the Thames River, the Victoria Bridge and the former mill sites. In 1978 it was designated for its historical value under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by the Town of St. Mary's.
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.

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.
