Salt's Mill is in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire. It was built by Sir Titus Salt in 1851 and was a textile mill. The model village of Saltaire was built to house the workers at the mill. Sir Titus provided everything his workers would need. There was a hospital, churches, a library and meeting hall, a gym, shops, a wash house and alms houses. The only thing he wouldn't allow was a public house!
Like most of the textile mills in Bradford, Salt's stopped producing cloth in 1986 and is now more well known as an art gallery showing the works of Bradford born David Hockney.

The old red grist mill in Clinton, NJ is a popular photographic subject and, to my mind is best in the early morning when you can sometimes capture reflected light from the building on the waters of the river below the falls.
Rajnagar mill, Ahmedabad, Gujarat is an abandoned mill since years which was open for public few months ago.
Ahmedabad was once called the ‘Manchester of the East’ due to the large number of textile mills in the city. Sadly, however, the ‘Manchester of the East’ fell into decline as the years went by and by the 1980s not only were the mills shut down but also lakhs of people lost their jobs! The entire industry was in disarray even as no remedial action was taken.
Aizlewood's Mill, Nursery Street, Sheffield. I think this building often goes un-noticed which is a shame, as it's fantastic.
Aizlewood’s Mill was built in 1861 on the site of the former nursery gardens of Sheffield Castle and alongside Sheffield’s first railway the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire which carried grain from the cornfields of Lincolnshire. Sheffield's first railway station was adjacent to Aizlewood's Mill's car park.
The building is a particularly fine example of the prestige buildings of the period with cast iron columns supporting heavy timber beams to provide a framework for a substantial brick building with many attractive architectural features.

The Darnley Grist Mill was named after Lord Darnley, a famous ancestor of James Crook. The mill was constructed between 1811 and 1813. The mill was made of stone from a quarry near morden's mills downstream. Originally, the building was square and three storeys high.
A nine-metre-high overshot waterwheel was mounted on the outside wall beside spencer creek. Water was drawn over the wheel to power the mill. Inside the building were four sets of grindstones used for feed and flour production.
After James Crook's death in 1860, the mill was sold to James Stutt and Robert Sanderson who converted it into a paper mill. After Stutt bought out Sanderson in 1880, he added a steam boiler to heat water for paper making and to have an alternative power source. On July 9th, 1885, the boiler exploded, causing damage to the mill and killing two men.
While leased to the Greensville Paper Company in the 1930's, the wooden floors were replaced by concrete. In 1943, the mill was gutted by a fire and left in ruins.
Folly Hall Mill, Huddersfield, is a Grade 2 listed building dating from 1844. The spinning mill was in use for nearly 150 years until its closure in 1993. The fireproof mill was most famously occupied by Joseph Lumb's, a world renowned producer of fine worsted yarn. Lumb's 'Golden Bale' is still internationally recognized as a standard for worsted. The wool used to make the quality yarn in the mill came from Austrailia and a large proportion of the workforce were bused in from Barnsley.
The first mill on the site on Bryant Creek was built by William Holeman in 1861. Alva Hodgson bought the mill in 1884. The original burned and Hodgson built a new one in 1894 and, in 1898, his brother George Hodgson became operator and part owner of the mill.
The mill was built over a spring that is reported to produce 28,900,000 gallons of water a day. This water stays a constant 58 degrees year round.

Once disused the Ancoats Mills Complex was at the heart and soul of Manchester’s industrial community – a time now long gone. The imposing mills produced products like cotton, glass and chemicals and were affectionately termed “the workshop of the world”. What is now Anita Street was previously known as Sanitary Street, due to its row of dedicated workers’ residences, which were always kept in spick and span condition

Tim Anderson, back from the IL, led off the Sox 1st inning with a single. Adam Easton then singled, sending Anderson to 3rd. Eaton continued to 2nd, appearing to be safe, beating the relay throw form 3rd baseman Jose Ramirez to shortstop Andres Gimenez. Umpire Bill Miller called him out, ruling Eaton’s hand slipped off the base. Eaton popped up quickly, arguing that Gimenez pushed his hand off the bag, and pushed both Gimenez and 2nd baseman Cesar Hernandez. Both dugouts and bullpens rushed on to the field; no punches were thrown and it was basically just milling around. No one was ejected.
It was a rainy day for this year's Progress Day at Beckman Mill.
The mill is open and grinding grain every Saturday from May to October; and is also open for special events on other days, during other seasons, and weddings and private parties.

Historic Clifton Mill is one of the largest water powered grist mills still in existence. It was built in 1802 on the upper stretches of the Little Miami River in Greene County, Ohio. Five other mills were built in this area (Cedarville, Ohio) near the Village of Yellow Springs (home of Antioch College). Those other mills are all gone. The mill is now operating primarily as a restaurant. The food is quite good. This is a picture of how the mill looks today. Not too bad for being 212 years old.
