To the left of it is the Shotwell Cartridge Mill which is still in full production manufacturing shotgun cartridges. The pellets are shaped during their freefall travel through the mill hence the height of this mill.

This water mill dates from 1767, with 2 additions at each end from the early C19. There was however an earlier mill on the same site mentioned in Domesday. It was originally water powered and produced flour from corn. However mining subsidence affected the water level of the mill dam and subsequently a fire, caused the mill to fall into disuse. It was restored in 1924 and is now a private residence.

Wade's Mill is a working flour mill, c. 1750, built by Captain Joseph Kennedy. Captain Kennedy was a Scotch-Irishman who was one of the earlier settlers in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. He settled in the area between Staunton and Lexington Virginia. This was the frontier of the United States between 1740 and 1770. The Kennedy family owned the flour mill for about 100 years. In 1882, James F. Wade bought the flour mill and his family operated it for the next four generations. The interior and workings of the flour mill are much like they were when Mr. Wade bought it.
The mill is powered by a 21-foot water wheel that is fed by a nearby stream (known originally as Captain Joseph Kennedy's Mill Creek). Wade's Mill is one of the few remaining flour mills that still produces a wide variety of flours exclusively on mill stones. The mill is on the National Register of Historic Places.
I took this photo of Hart's Mill at Port Adelaide in mid 2004, using a Canon EOS 3000 film SLR, polariser and Fuji Velvia 50 transparency film. The potent mix of Velvia combined with a polariser really made the unusual clouds from that morning stand out against the building.
With this photo, I was lucky enough to win First Prize in small colour/mono prints, and Champion small print at the 2004 Adelaide Show photography exhibition. I also entered it into the 17th Annual Heritage Society photographic awards in 2005, where it won the The Bruce Mackenzie Memorial Youth Award, for photographers under 21.
Less luckily, this is the only transparency that I've ever lost, and it's one of my best shots of the mill. I never scanned it so I don't have a digital file either. At least I had a couple of smaller prints made that I could frame with the awards.
