Washington, D.C.
Peirce Mill, located within Washington D.C.’s scenic Rock Creek Park, was constructed in 1829 and stands as the only extant water-driven grist mill in the District of Columbia. The mill was designed and built by Isaac Peirce and served as the centerpiece to the family’s almost 2,000-acres. A sawmill, a distillery, a nursery, and orchards, along with other related enterprises, were also found on Peirce’s property. The vernacular mill, erected of blue granite quarried locally from the local landscape of Rock Creek, reflects the building traditions of Peirce’s own Pennsylvania Quaker heritage. Peirce Mill was one of eight situated along Rock Creek in the 19th century, each reflecting the importance this local industry played in the establishment and development of Washington, D.C. Peirce Mill is the sole remaining mill from this significant period in the history of Rock Creek Park and Washington, D.C. A part of Rock Creek Park since 1892 and under the direction of the National Park Service since 1933, Peirce Mill was meticulously restored to its original 1929 appearance as part of a Public Works Administration (PWA) project. This was one of the first preservation and restoration efforts undertaken by the National Park Service, and was conducted under the direction of Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes. The 1935 project, entitled “Restoration of Peirce Mill,” was supervised by esteemed architects and architectural historians Thomas Tikeston Waterman and Charles E. Peterson. Today, Peirce Mill is the only operational, early 19th-century grist mill maintained by the National Park Service.

The MacArthur Woolen Mill was built in 1871 by Archibald MacArthur to manufacture fine worsteds and tweeds. The mill and other stone mills which derived its source of power from the Mississippi River, was one of the chief reasons for the municipality's growth and a tangible reminder of the early industrial development of Carleton Place.
The building itself is constructed of Beckwith sandstone and has undergone many alterations, but the exterior still retains its original character.
This photo shows the channel which diverts water from the river as well as the old water wheel mechanism and what remains of the the dam structure.

The original mill on this site (founded in 1838) was destroyed by fire in 1871. Samuel Cunliffe Lister contracted local architects Andrews and Pepper to build the largest silk mill in the world with 16 acres of floor space on a 27 acre site. The new mill opened in 1873 and at its height employed over 11,000 people. During WW2 Lister’s produced 1,330 miles of parachute silk and 4,430 miles of parachute cord.
Unfortunately the mill finally closed 1992 due to stiff foreign competition and the increasing use of man-made fibres. After many years of standing empty the mills were bought by Urban Splash in 2000 and work began in 2004 to convert them into apartments, shops, and workplaces with the first residents moving in during 2006.

nrhp # 16000527- The Brightwells Mill Complex historic 19th-century mill complex at 684 Brightwells Mill Road in Madison Heights, Amherst County, Virginia. It includes a reconstructed 1826 wood-frame mill, dam, miller's house, a number of outbuildings, and a small cemetery. The dam and mill both date to 1942, when a flash flood destroyed 19th-century structures. The mill was rebuilt using materials salvaged from the 1826 mill, while the dam was rebuilt in concrete. The mill was used to process the grain of local farmers until 1965.[2]
The complex was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

The old mill at Albion is apparently going to be torn down. Cieon and Kadir were on their way up to have a look around just as I was coming home. I had my SLR with me and managed to get some pretty decent shots. This one is of the big silos that we didn't quite manage to climb to the top of.
Priston Mill near Bath in a working watermill which is still maintained in working condition. There is also an old tythe barn on the site. The site is now used as a venue for wedding receptions, civil ceremonies and corporate events.
The mill lade, that supplies water from the river to turn the mill wheel. The water then runs off to the fields and is used for irrigation.
Thomas Mill sits on private property, and the owners are indeed private - they grant access to this mill to NO ONE. It is only visible during the winter.
The Mill.
In the mill
constant noise resounds:
clank and thud, clank and thud,
wooden pegs and gears enmesh
with hand-carved cogs,
driven by the whoosh of water in the leat
under the timbered wheel,
which turns and turns and turns….
In the mill
the stones circle round and round,
gritstone grooves, grinding, grinding…
rhythmic groaning of tackle and hoist,
milling the golden grain,
the yield, the hard-won ears, gleaned
from the field beyond the open door….
In the mill
dust hangs in the air, clags in the throat,
carpets cobwebbed corners,
drifts on lath and joist,
clogs the millers’ gasping lungs…
pale flour dust, sunlit motes swirling
endlessly, whirling clouds
in grimy windows’ light,
dust from the rasping runner,
turning, turning….
In the mill,
years pass, harvests come and go,
the river now is full of weed,
the pound choked with rush and flowering reed.
Paddles no longer connect with the flow:
powerless, the stream trickles uselessly away,
the stones are still…
In the mill,
all is silent,
save for the scratchings
of a hungry mouse.
