The Clipper Mill has been made into condos with this swanky pool. I've been looking on their website...the columns are torches.
Some more photos from the Ahmedabad Mill Owners Association Building by Le Corbusier.
Probably the nicest Corb building we saw on the trip, and certainly the only of his buildings which I've liked instantly (the others have grown on me through the experience of visiting them), the Mill Owners Building was basically a series of concrete-and-stone-defined semi-internal shaded spaces surrounding a large, oval conference room. Spaces in which the members could 'mill' about, I guess! (fnar fnar)
Anyway, my tutors were doing a project which involved various temporary artistic installations in the building, so I accompanied them and spent a happy afternoon photographing, chatting to the few staff who were milling around, and enjoying the spaces both inside the building and the views from the rooftop.
Here's the location, and I cannot recommend it enough.
The Darnley Grist Mill was named after Lord Darnley, a famous ancestor of James Crook. The mill was constructed between 1811 and 1813. The mill was made of stone from a quarry near morden's mills downstream. Originally, the building was square and three storeys high.
A nine-metre-high overshot waterwheel was mounted on the outside wall beside spencer creek. Water was drawn over the wheel to power the mill. Inside the building were four sets of grindstones used for feed and flour production.
After James Crook's death in 1860, the mill was sold to James Stutt and Robert Sanderson who converted it into a paper mill. After Stutt bought out Sanderson in 1880, he added a steam boiler to heat water for paper making and to have an alternative power source. On July 9th, 1885, the boiler exploded, causing damage to the mill and killing two men.
While leased to the Greensville Paper Company in the 1930's, the wooden floors were replaced by concrete. In 1943, the mill was gutted by a fire and left in ruins.
One of the oldest mills in Stroud, with parts dating back to the 1500s. The building is now home to trainspotters.co.uk that specialises in industrial lighting. We visited to investigate ghostly happenings there. Watch the video: youtu.be/TrKriJf5Imw
Edward Mill of 1924, was one of the last to be built in Congleton. It was a silk mill and replace the Albert Mill of 1871. It is now a gym and fitness centre.
Millenium Mills and D-Silo
There used to be alot more slios attached to the front of the mills but at some point they were demolished. None quite like D-silo tho, what a great building it is!

The 'new' mill building viewed from the old mill.
Torr Vale Mill in the Derbyshire town of New Mills was the longest continuous running textile mill in the UK until it closed in 2000. Inside are abandoned cotton racks and looms with half woven towels. Despite its dramatic location nestled in the deep Goyt Valley, it has proved difficult to convert to a new use due to restricted site access. Several failed attempts to rehabilitate the building mean that it lies derelict, with the owner taking only the bare essential steps to secure the site from vandalism and pigeon infestation.
Approaching the first bridge on the left, I spy another tunnel through the undergrowth to the right.
Weaving Mill built in 1907 by George D. Gibson and Andrew G. Lumgair. Changed ownership several times until finally vacated following flooding in 1977. Now partially occupied by Scottish Borders Council library service. Information courtesy of Scottish Borders from Above by Alastair Campbell, published by Deveron Publications of Kelso in 2007.
Dalton Mills was once the largest textile mill in the region, employing over 2000 workers. It was built by Joseph Craven in 1869, replacing the original mill which was owned by Rachel Leach in the 1780's.
The mill was named Dalton Mills after the manager employed by Rachel Leach, a man called Dalton.
In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
As the textile industry declined, the fortunes of Dalton Mills changed and up until 2004, it had been virtually empty for almost a decade. John Craven, the great-great grandson of Joseph, who had built the mill, eventually chose to sell Dalton Mills to Magna Holdings, to ensure it’s survival.
Part of the renovation of the Clock Tower has included restarting the landmark clock which has not ticked for 25 years. In the mill's heyday, thousands of workers relied on the clock to get to work on time, but the hands had not moved for a quarter of a century. Last year Magna Holdings repaired the clock, and illuminated the faces, so it can display the time to the whole of Dalton Lane again.
This water mill dates from 1767, with 2 additions at each end from the early C19. There was however an earlier mill on the same site mentioned in Domesday. It was originally water powered and produced flour from corn. However mining subsidence affected the water level of the mill dam and subsequently a fire, caused the mill to fall into disuse. It was restored in 1924 and is now a private residence.

This used to be a booming flour mill area. The Gold Medal Flour mill up there is now a museum, the ruins at the bottom are now a park.
This old water mill is now the 'Folklore Centre'. I bought some nice fudge from here once :)
Took a drive to the little town of Killin today with a few pals. The Falls of Dochart is right in the middle of the town with a lovely bridge over it. In the middle of the river is a small island, which is where the Clan McNab buried their chieftans.
