The runied windmill on the hills was constructed in the 1820s. The mill is built on the highest part of Cleadon Hills on a slight artificial mound. The building incorporates a stone reefing stage, a feature that was peculiar to windmills in the area.
The mill was severely damaged in a storm at some time during the 1870s, and then suffered the indignity of being a target for gunnery practice during the First World War. A photograph dating from the 1920s shows the rotating cap and the windshaft more or less intact but without the sails, which were presumably destroyed during the storm that put the mill out of business. Nowadays the entrances to the mill are barred and locked, the remains of internal machinery that were visible in the mill during the 1970s are now gone, although broken fragments of a millstone remain.
A local legend relates the story of Elizabeth Gibbon, a heartbroken woman who threw herself from the top of the mill tower and whose ghost apparently haunts the ruin of the mill to this day. The windmill was operated by the Gibbon family at the time the storm took place, which lends some weight to the tale of Elizabeth's suicide.

"BRECONSHIRE. BUCKLAND MILL.
This dismantled mill on the Usk, placed at Glawcoed at one of the most romantic and
picturesque spots in our beautiful county, has always had an interest for me. The fall of
the river over the rough, irregular, and steep ledges of the rich-coloured old red-sandstone
rocks is strikingly grand ; and the deserted mill just above, in full sight, with its shattered
and spectre-like wheel, becomes part and parcel of Nature's work of beauty.
And the picnics there in the days of my youth ! The ladies drank the pure water of
the river, and the gentlemen placed carefully their wine bottles in the rocky eddies to cool ;
and by-and-bye, when the repast was over, the rich mellow voice of Major Stretton would
be heard in his favourite hunting song of "My Brave old Hound!" These, the Llan-
gynider rocks, near Bucklaud Old Mill, were the convenient halfway meeting-place for
pleasure parties in summer time, for the gentlefolk of Brecon and neighbourhood, and of
the Vale of Crickhowell.
Very little of the ancient history of this mill most of the mills in Brecoushire possess
a very early origin have I been able to glean. Apparently, it was called in old
documents, Maesygwaelod Mill. In 1827 it seems to have been known as simply
Buckland Mill; and I have a letter now before me, of September 10th in that year, from
Mr. Thomas Abraham, of Talybont, making application for the tenancy :
" Being informed that Buckland Mill is to let by you, 1 should like to tack (sic) it for
a term of years on a repairing lease, By your finding Timber for the work."
The mill was very inaccessibly placed for wheel traffic, though that mattered little for
horses with pack-saddles. It was near to Llanddutty ford, on the Usk, and no doubt had
custom from both sides of the river, especially in dry seasons, when its unfailing water
supply gave it an advantage over other country mills.
It will be remembered that Mr. Thynue Howe Gwynne, the owner of Bnckland Mill,
died in 1826, and probably the falling into disrepair of the mill, and its ceasing to be let,
dates from that period not earlier. "
An overshoot grist mill was built in 1868 by John P. Cable.
John P. Cable built his grist mill in Cades Cove. He was a descendent of Peter Cable, a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer who had arrived in the area in the 1820s and designed an elaborate system to drain the swampy lands located in the western part of the cove.
John Cable was the only person in Cades Cove to use an overshot water wheel, a gravity wheel which harnesses the force of gravity acting vertically on the water as it travels from the top to the bottom of the wheel. Cable Mill's power was supplied by Mill Creek, although a connecting channel was dug to Forge Creek so the mill could tap both streams when water levels were low.
Cable Mill took double advantage of its waterwheel by using it to power saw mills as well. This revolutionized the way homes were built in the cove, as people switched from using logs to lumber and frame construction. The Gregg Cable house still stands as an example of a frame built house in Cades Cove.

Trago Mills is a small chain of very interesting supermarket type shops in the West Country. This is, I'm told, the prettiest and that's probably correct but if ever down that way, have a look at the one outside Newton Abbott, on the A38, There are things there that shouldn't be near shops - it's almost a flippin' theme park!
A pleasant 3 story mill in the village of Honley. As with all the previous visitors any history was hard to come by. The village as with many in the area were dotted with textile mills, and appears that cloth making has taken place in Honley since the 11th Century.
Very little remains regarding the company itself within the building apart from a certificate of Incorporation in 1960 establishing itself as a limited Company. Information of the companies activities are also limited, presumably they wove and/or sold rugs, there are some bits and pieces of really old looms in the loft space but that’s about it. It seems that the company only operated for 15 years until it was wound up. After that the bottom of this mill was last used around 2008 as a M.O.T centre/garage place.
Cressbrook Mill, Cressbrook, Derbyshire, 1814-15.
For Francis Philips a Manchester cotton-spinner.
Grade ll* listed.
This view from the Monsal Trail.
William Newton, the mill manager, oversaw the construction of the new mill and the installation of modern machinery.
William Newton died in 1830 and was succeeded by his son as manager until 1835 when the estate was sold to Henry McConnel, an experienced cotton manufacturer and a partner in McConnel & Kennedy of Ancoats, Manchester. The heyday of the mill was the 19th century when it produced high-quality cotton for lacemaking. After World War I all the local mills struggled to make a profit and cotton spinning ceased here in 1965. The mill finally closed in 1971 after which it was allowed to decay for several years before being restored. The clock, which works the two faces from the same mechanism, and the cupola were added in 1837 to commemorate the Accession of Queen Victoria. The cupola is octagonal with round-arches. The three bells are inscribed 'Thomas Mears of London Founder 1837'.
The Monsal Trail runs along the former Midland Railway line for 8.5 miles between Blackwell Mill in Chee Dale and Coombs Road Viaduct at Bakewell. Most of the route was opened to the public in 1981 but four former tunnels had to remain closed due to safety reasons, with public footpaths taking people around them. From 25 May 2011 the four railway tunnels - Headstone, Cressbrook, Litton, Chee Tor – opened for trail users. Each tunnel is about 400 metres long and is lit during normal daylight hours. Two shorter tunnels - Chee Tor No 2 and Rusher Cutting – already formed part of the trail.
Hartford Mill is a grade 2 listed building and was built in 1907 by the Hartford Mill Company. It was designed by F W Dixon and was extended in 1907 and operated until closure in 1959. It was used by Littlewoods until 1992 as a warehouse but it is now derelict and partly fire damaged. It lies in a regeneration area and has been the subject of a CPO with planning permission for conversion into apartments.
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.

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 restored mill-pond at Gurney Manor Mill in Somerset. The old water-mill has been fully restored and now serves as a B&B. I am staying there whilst working at the nearby power station, and it is wonderful to emerge each morning into such lovely surroundings.

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.
