The village of Bickleigh in Devon lies on the banks of the River Exe. The former GWR Exe Valley line runs through here and the station is preserved as the Devon Railway Centre, although the GWR called it Cadeleigh rather than Bickleigh.
The Tiverton to Exeter road crosses the Exe on a magnificent six arch pack-horse bridge. Just upstream is the three-span lattice girder railway bridge disused since the line closed to all traffic at this point in 1963.
Bickleigh mill is now an upmarket bistro but retains its 17th century charm.
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.
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.

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.

The beam is finished by following the scribed lines with a carving saw. The 4x4 inch, 7 metre beam has been produced from a single tree, using only equipment you can carry into the wood. Now you just have to carry it all out again! This is where a horse rather than a springer spaniel would help.
Quarry Bank Mill, now owned by the National Trust is still a working cotton mill.You can see ,hear and smell the 19th Century textile machines working and imagine how the difficult life was for the workers and understand why many were deaf at a young age.

This linseed oil mill dates to about 1790 and can be found at Prallsville, in Hunterdon County, NJ. Today it as used as an art gallery for the Delaware River Mill Society, which has restored the Prallsville site. Prallsville and Stockton are neighbors, and Stockton also has many old stone buildings like this mill.
I'll bet that every part of this mill has been replaced at least once since it was built in 1868, which raises a philosophical question: when is a structure no longer the original?
The Dowlin Mill was a Billy the Kid hideout.

This mill was built in 1909 to house the American Woolen Company. It now has a New Balance shoe assembly plant in it, but I don't think that takes up all this space. Parts of it are probably vacant, and I think all of it was vacant for many years. The clock tower (with a clock face second in size only to Big Ben, among all clock towers in the world) has become an icon of the city of Lawrence.
