De Kat, Zaanse Schans, Netherlands.
On January 11, 1946, a gentleman named Adriaan Gerritsz. van Someren was granted a windcontract (a kind of government permit for catching the wind), the building permit for his dye mill De Kat along the Kalverringdijk. The mill caught fire in 1782 but was restored shortly afterwards. It was to take another century before the mill was demolished to the level of the gallery in 1904.
Following restoration around 1960, the mill was originally used for sifting sawdust. It then became a dye mill as well as being used for grinding chalk. De Kat complements the range of mills belonging to the Society of Zaan Mills on the Zaanse Schans.

Gibson Mill is a family-oriented visitor centre, telling the history of the valley over the past 200 years. Having no link to the national grid, the mill is unique in the UK and is the Trust's flagship sustainable building, hence our worm picture!

– Mini-Themed Album Murray's Mill Site: The Mill –
Catawba, NC – 2018JUL08 – Murray's Mill Historic Site:
Why did we go to Murray's Mill after church this morning?
A couple months ago, in May, Joe met Jennifer, Murray's Mill Historic District site manager, at a Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary church archive workshop in Columbia, South Carolina; at that time he told her we would like to come to her ice cream social today.
And we did!
We had a great time at Murray's Mill Annual Ice Cream Social! And we want to return for a waterside hike and picturesque picnic at the last milling complex in the county, meticulously preserved and interpreted by the Catawba County Historical Association.
See it soon, even without the free ice cream – an awesome treat! – or one of their other events usually attended by 5,000 people!
It was a wonderful day, with a welcome high of 84⁰F (below-average temperature for July), clear blue skies, pleasant low humidity...
Going home at 4:44 p.m., my cell phone battery was at 44% and I had 555 captures! Who could've guessed? Plus Joe took all of 12!
I seldom video, but both Joe and I took videos, plus photos.

Derwent Valley Mills is a World Heritage Site along the River Derwent in Derbyshire, England, designated in December 2001. It is administered by the Derwent Valley Mills Partnership. The modern factory, or 'mill', system was born here in the 18th century to accommodate the new technology for spinning cotton developed by Richard Arkwright. With advancements in technology, it became possible to produce cotton continuously. The system was adopted throughout the valley, and later spread so that by 1788 there were over 200 Arkwright-type mills in Britain. Arkwright's inventions and system of organising labour was exported to Europe and the United States.
Water-power was first introduced to England by John Lombe at his silk mill in Derby in 1719, but it was Richard Arkwright who applied water-power to the process of producing cotton in the 1770s. His patent of a water frame allowed cotton to be spun continuously and meant it could be produced by unskilled workers. Cromford Mill and Cromford was the site of Arkwright's first mill, and his system of production and worker's housing was copied throughout the valley.

It was a canal relics photo trip and what is left of M&E Lock 9 is, in fact, behind the flour mill. Lock 9 relics are just a few stones, but the mill made the trip worthwhile.
from the 1800's. It had a horizontally spinning wheel instead of a vertically spinning wheel. The wheel broke multiple times after not being able to withstand the forces of sping floods
The Mill was built circa 1763. Construction is Stone and Rubble with Slate Roof. The Mill was used for processing corn and worked until at least the early 1960s.
A dated inset lintel is above and to the left of the main south facing door.. Most of the wood is pine. An even older Mill probably built in wood was on the site prior to the stone building.
The Mill had an internal wheel which drew its power from the water of East Fannyside Loch. The origonal laid (the water course from loch to mill) is still intact.
The internal wheel was apparently sold to scrap merchants in the 1970s or 1980s.
Much of the internal running gear is still inside the Barn and the Corn bruiser is still present.
The origonal grindstone is also intact. The bottom stone is imbedded into the floor of Mill. The wheel marks can also be seen clearly on the walls.

The St. John Milling Company still contains within its expanded walls the original mill built in the 1770s. Built on Brush Creek, near Watauga, the original mill was powered by a sixteen foot high wooden overshot waterwheel. Although the wooden wheel and machinery have been replaced with modern machinery, and the new additions have made the original structure difficult to see on the exterior, the mill has remained in operation continuously since it was built.
Directly across the road from the mill is a three-story limestone house built by Jeremiah Dungan, builder of the mill. The house is a late eighteenth century structure that is said to have been built with stones from one of the Watauga forts.
Dungan's Mill and house were built by Jeremiah Dungan while the site was in the State of North Carolina. He came from Virginia west of the mountains and built his grist mill by 1778 while the Indians were still roaming in the area. The mill is very near Watauga, the site where the Watauga Association was formed. The Watauga Association is recognized as the first government organized of free and independent men in America. (1)
