The largest house on Hobsonville Point is Mill House which was the residence of the Base Commander of the Hobsonville Air Base before it was decommissioned. The land on the Base is now being developed into a large housing estate but many of the old houses are being kept and sold to private buyers.

Shaddon Mill was built for spinning cotton by Peter Dixon & Sons in 1836. The Chimney was 305ft high when first built making it the 8th tallest chimney in the world!
Dixon's Chimney and Shaddon Mill was built in Shaddongate, Carlisle, Cumbria, England, by Peter Dixon in 1836. The architect Richard Tattersall was from Manchester.
Shaddon Mill was a cotton factory, the chimney of which became famous due to its height. The chimney was built to be tall enough to prevent the large amounts of smoke generated by the factory becoming noxious to the rest of the city. In its day Shaddon Mill was the largest cotton mill in England and had the 8th largest chimney in the world.
Shaddon Mill became listed in 1949 and the chimney was listed in 1972. Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. provided work for 8000 people in their four mills in the area.
In 1883 Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. went into liquidation and the mill was taken over by Robert Todd and Sons Ltd., who then used the mill for wool production rather than cotton.
Dixon's Chimney, being such a popular and historic structure in Carlisle, was restored by Carlisle City Council in 1999. Originally it was 305 ft tall, but in 1950 it was shortened to 290 ft. The internal diameter of the chimney remains 17 ft 6 in and 10 ft walls at the base.
In 2005 part of the mill was converted into apartments by Story Homes and the other part is used by the University of Cumbria

Brand new flour mill just built at Maldon, near Picton NSW, alongside the main south line. A rail siding has been contsructed to serve the mill. It replaces two older mills in Sydney.
Matt observes the delivery of the large milling machine that is now situated in our garage. I like how (due to the positioning of the forky bit of the forklift) the machine appears to be levitating above the road.
(Also, note little neighbor boy across the street -- he pretty much stood there with eyes as wide as saucers watching the entire process of delivery / forkliftery. Later on we had like 5 neighbor kids peering into the garage. I think they all expect us to be producing metal toys for them now. :P)

Vicars wire-cut machine. There is another image in this album that shows this being fed by manually shoveling dough from a tub. Hope the machine room was air conditioned. Back breaking work. Not very modern. This was a dedicated line for wire-cut biscuits only.

Stainsby Mill is a 19th-century flour water mill in Doe Lea, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, England. The mill, which has been restored to full working order, is a Grade II listed building[1] and is under the ownership of the National Trust.[2] The mill is located in the grounds of Hardwick Hall, another National Trust property.
Mitchell Mill was originally a two story structure built of oak and walnut. With the mill, Steve Mitchell provided ground corn and ginned cotton from 1900 until 1928. After Mr. Mitchell died, his family sold the property to the Forest Service.
The rock foundation and walls were added by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1942. Exquisite rock work is the hallmark of the CCC, a post Depression program to put young men to work. Their plan was to restore the mill to an operational condition, but the work was interrupted when the CCC was disbanded at the onset of World War II.

There's a little more effort involved in getting to the Mill in the winter because parts of the Blue Ridge Parkway are closed and you have to make quite a detour and with snow, four wheel drive is recommended, but it is worth the extra time it takes to get here!

The abandoned Fruen Mill located along Bassett Creek, was originally built in 1894 (most of the existing structures dating back to the 1920's). The mill was sold to Conagra in 1971, previously the first producer of breakfast cereals in Minneapolis. The Fruen family also owned Glenwood Inglewood until 1990--their spring still providing water for the Utepils Brewery next door.
It has been a unique destination in North Minneapolis for urban explores/trespassers for a number of years. There have been several injuries here, as well, and at least four deaths. But, the views of the city are quite breath-taking if you are inclined to risk the clime and penalties.
