This mill was built on the hillside near the Eureka Mine in 1909. Powered by gasoline engines, the mil pulverized the ore, then chemical processes using mercury and cyanide extracted the gold. The mill site and surrounding mines were originally part of Shorty Harris's claim, which he sold to the Cashier Mining Company. Pete Aguereberry later bought the mil site, adding to the seven Death Valley mining claims he already owned.

The Blackstone River Bikeway crosses under RI 116 in the tiny mill village of Ashton, part of the town of Cumberland. Initially, I went there to photograph a waterfall, however there was almost no water flowing over the falls, and a large tree had fallen in front of the most interesting section. That idea was a wash. Walking back to my car, though, I was struck by the beautiful lines in this bridge, so I setup my tripod, composed, and waited. It was another case of picking an interesting background and waiting for a subject to move through the foreground. In the distant background, you can see the tower of the 1850 era Ashton Mills breaking the skyline. There are some excellent brick mill houses in this district, so there is a lot of potential for my neighborhood series. More to come from this area.

Mabry Mill is a watermill located at milepost 176.2 of Blue Ridge Parkway in Floyd County, Virginia. It is a tourist attraction mainly for the picturesque views of the mill itself. A short trail around the mill connects historical exhibits about life in rural Virginia. The trail allows visitors to view the gristmill, sawmill, and blacksmith shop.
Mabry Mill was built by Edwin Boston Mabry (E.B. Mabry). E.B. Mabry returned to Floyd County in 1903 and began the construction of the mill. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then became a sawmill. By 1905 it was in operation as a gristmill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed and included a lathe for turning out wheel hubs, a tongue and groove lathe, a planer and a jig-saw. Between 1905 and 1914 E.B. Mabry bought adjacent tracts of land, mostly for the purpose of acquiring more water power. 1
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.
This new type of nut mill machine is improved on the basis of the original chopper. Feeding by the hoist, the material to can be evenly scattered in the feeding hopper, which is beneficial to the chopping uniformity, first through the rough cutting of the upper knife, and then through the secondary knife.

The view from the Cotton Yard. Bell Mill (at the back) was part planned by Sir Richard Arkwright of Cromford fame - and so is part of the first development of industrial labour and production. An eight hundred foot tunnel was dug through the hillside to power the mills. For its time the largest industrial complex in Scotland, the site marked a turning point in Scottish history. The mills struggled on in some form of production from the 1790s till the end of the 1980s.
The early Perthshire cartographer James Scobie also had a hand in the design of the mills and the grid layout of the village of Stanley.
The final phase of the Stanley project and the new interactive museum are due for completion in August 2006.

At this mill knowledgeable guides demonstrate the intricate processes of weaving. The mill contains 26 restored jacquard handlooms. Exhibitions and room sets illustrate life in Paradise Mill in the 1930s.
The tie silk made on it's Jacquard hand looms was some of the finest ever made in Macclesfield - with up to 500 'ends' or threads per inch. Although built c. 1860, the mill was operated by Cartwright and Sheldon silk weavers from 1912 until 1981, and it is within this time period, 1930 to be exact, that the exhibitions and room settings have been set to illustrate life in Paradise Mill.
From this mill speciality ties were sent to America, labelled 'Pure Silk, made in Macclesfield, England and imported in the Queen Mary' .
Built in 1894, Alley Mill is one of the most photographed mills, if not places, in the state of Missouri....
Today, as part of Ozark National Scenic Riverways, Alley Spring offers its cool waters and tranquil atmosphere to all Americans. It is still very popular with local people who still camp, picnic and hold reunions at Alley. A hundred Springs and Falls have come and gone since Alley Mill first opened its doors. As a commercial mill, it went out of business over sixty years ago, but as the anchor for a community it remains firmly anchored in the rock of time and tradition....

This mill nowadays houses a restaurant: Moli des Torrent. The menu looked expensive (although probably really really good) so we just photographed the mill. The photo was taken with the built-in HDR mode. I took one with and without. The one without was neither a full silhouette nor a properly exposed mill, so in this case the HDR result wins.

Unfortunately there was no water moving over the dam and the mill wheel was still. But it was still a beautiful place to visit and photograph.

Harry said, "The most beautiful thing I can see is the woods out the back, alright they're only grey squirrels and what not, magpies and loads of squirrels running round in there. They actually come up and knock on the window, your sat there and you think 'What's that?' and you look up and they're looking in."
"This bit at the back of here is the furthest stretch east of the last remaining ancient woodland of Blackburn. That bit on that side of the road was bought by the woodland trust."

A lovely example of the typical, unpretentious, white, weatherboarded, red roofed, classic Essex water-mill. The present mill which was built in the 18th century, is the last in a long line dating back to Domesday, and was operated by the Rawlinson family right up to the 1960’s. It was bought by Essex County Council in 1994 and they have now restored it to operational status with all new or restored machinery including a new working waterwheel and all drive shafts, plus other equipment added as the mill changed its role during the 19th and 20th century. Inside the mill, it was whitewashed to provide as much light as possible to reduce the need for naked lights, which in the dusty atmosphere might have blown the whole place sky high, there were originally 5 sets of stones. Two were operated by the wheel and a further 3 were added when steam power was introduced. Finally a diesel engine replaced steamand operated a number of roller milling machines. In the 1880’s the introduction of roller milling technology from Hungary marked the beginning of the end for the water-mills. Although wholemeal flour continued to be made by stone milling, a pair of stones could only produce about 1 hundredweight of flour an hour whereas a roller milling machine could produce about 5 times that. Outside, the mill has been beautifully re-roofed and repainted.
The "museum" inside also includes a display of historic and restoration photographs and old historic documents.
