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.

The property that became Starr’s Mill was owned by Hannah Gilcoat who built the first mill here before his death in 1825. This site, on Whitewater Creek, was less than a mile from the boundary between Creek Indian lands and the State of Georgia. Hilliard Starr, who owned the mill from 1866 until 1879, gave the site its current name. After the first two log structures burned, William T. Glower built the current building in 1907. This mill operated until 1959, using a water-powered turbine, instead of a wheel, to grind corn and operate a sawmill. The Starr’s Mill site also included a cotton gin and a dynamo that powered electricity for nearby Senoia.
One of the most photographed sites in Georgia! Hope you enjoy!
Caudwell's Mill, Station Road, Southwell, Nottinghamshire.
Caudwell's Mill stands by the River Greet on the site of Southwell's medieval Burgage Mill. Much of the grain from local farms was ground here. In 1851 the Greet Mill was acquired by the Caudwell family. The mill's capacity was greatly increased. Disastrous fires in 1867, 1893 and in 1917 led to considerable re-building. By the early 1900's "Greet Lily Flour" won many awards for its fine quality. The mill closed in 1977 and in 1989 was converted to apartments.
Mill Pond has really come on over the years. It has been dredged and planted with reed beds. Fishing platforms have been built on the left hand side and there is some great wildlife there.
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 pulp and paper mill in Glovertown was expected to open in 1922. The owners, Terra Nova Sulphite Company, ran into financing problems and were refused a loan guarantee by the Newfoundland Government, halting construction. In the fall of 1921, the property was purchased by Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company, who felt the mill was not feasible as it was too small and it’s supply inadequate. Today the Mill still stands in its incomplete state, untouched since the 1920’s.
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.
