Turnbull's Mills, more recently occupied by N. Peal. Currently closed, but four people came out of the building while I was photographing, a viewing by prospective tenants perhaps?
Pretty stripped inside but still quite nice. I belive it was originaly a textile mill but they appeared to have been making foam rubber gaskets when it closed
The Mill at Gelligroes in Pontllanfraith dates back to approximately 1625. There have been several improvements made including a water powered generator which was built in 1908 to provide electricity for the Mill and the house. A major restoration was made in 1993, and the mill now incorporates a candle making factory.
In 1912 Arthur (Artie) Moore an amateur radio enthusiast living at the Mill picked up the distress signal from the Titanic from this location.
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.

Over the footbridge to another Constable viewpoint.
Quarry Bank Mill, now owned by the National Trust is still a working cotton mill.You can see ,hear and smell the 19th Century textile machines working and imagine how the difficult life was for the workers and understand why many were deaf at a young age.
This started off as a B&W conversion, but i wasn't happy with the contrast I was getting, so I added a color layer on top of it and set it to Color Burn and 50% opacity.
Oehler Mill Complex
Shelby, Wisconsin
Listed 5/22/2013
Reference Number: 13000314
The Oehler Mill Complex is being nominated to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its local significance under National Register (NR) Criterion C, architecture. It is significant at the local level with a period of significance of 1862-1907, dates encompassing the construction of the mill and the associated buildings of the milling complex. Research was undertaken to assess this potential utilizing the NR significance area of Architecture, a theme that is also identified in the State of Wisconsin's Cultural Resource Management Plan (CRMP). This research centered on evaluating the resources in the Complex utilizing the Italianate Style and Stone Construction subsections of the Architectural Styles study unit, and the Milling subsection of the Industry study unit portions of the CRMP. 17 The results of this research are detailed below and determined that the Complex's fine stone and brick Astylistic Utilitarian Vernacular Form flour mill building and its two fine associated brick Italianate style houses are locally significant under Criterion C, architecture. The mill is a now exceptionally rare example of an early rural flour and grist mill and its significance is heightened by the fact that the houses of Valentine Oehler and Gottfried Oehler, the two brothers who built it and ran it, are both extant and are situated on either side of it.

The arrival of the canals in the 1770's meant that not all industry needed to be in the vicinity of the River Dee.
For the first time industry spread to the Eastern side of the city thanks to the links the canal brought.
Built for local flour merchants on land that was formally meadows (this is hard to believe now as this is pretty cloe to the centre of town).
The mill was first recorded on a map in 1789 so may be slightly older.
Now offices, flats and a ground floor pub which was pretty good last time I went.

I decided to finally go and visit the Beverley Mill. Glad I did.
This mill is located on Broad Run and is located in both Fauquier and Prince William counties. This was a five and a half stoy stone structure that was destroyed by arson in October 1998, leaving only the exterior walls of the mill intact. The original mill was built in 1747 by Jonathan Chapman and his son Nathaniel. The mill began as a crushed limestone mill, in 1758, it functioned as a grist mill.

Nice dumpster, eh? This photo is neither very elegant nor very sharp. This wasn't a particularly breezy night (if i recall correctly) nor a very long exposure. This is from an evening of shooting with the Boston Area Night Shooters group in January, 2006.

Montgomery Street, San Francisco
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The original Mills Building occupied a frontage of 159.5 feet on Montgomery Street and 137.5 feet on Bush. Root was probably the lead designer. His biographer, Harriet Monroe, noted that Root explored four or five different facade treatments. Atmospheric conditions in San Francisco permitted the use of exterior materials such as white marble which would have been impractical in a city such as Chicago.
The 1906 earthquake caused only minor damage but the fire badly damaged the interior. Reconstruction, undertaken in February 1907, is attributed to Willis Polk who was affiliated with the local office of Daniel Burnham. The building was expanded by the Mills Estate over the years.....
