A very short film with water sounds as the soundtrack. I can hear these sounds from my bedroom window at night.
A shot from the Bridge in Veteran's Memorial Park in Shakopee Minnesota this time with my new Nikon D7000. the Pond Grist Mill is in the background.
At the rear of the Godbe Mill, this enclosed conveyor belt system would have discarded something -- probably the tailings -- into trucks to be hauled away (& hopefully disposed of legally -- as the tailings would have been contaminated by nasty chemicals).
The King Mill in Augusta, GA, has a massive central stair and water tank tower designed to be reminiscent of the villa towers of northern Italy. Ornamental brickwork covers the tower. The mill was constructed in 1882 and is a historic industrial landmark on the Augusta Canal.

Once the largest textile mill in the region, Dalton Mills employed over 2000 workers. Built by Joseph Craven in 1869, the new mill replaced a much smaller 1780′s building. In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
In 1889 the contents of the mills were sold at auction. A noble comb was sold for £30 and a pair of standard scales and weights fetched one shilling (5p). The total at the end of just one day of the sale was £11,585. Part of the proceeds went to buy new equipment, some to pay debts, a portion to pay the remaining employees.
In 1904, the flywheel which transferred the power from a huge beam engine (the largest in the world) to drive the looms exploded. The engine was replaced within two months by a pair of horizontal engines.
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.
The moon in the original was blown out, so I tried replacing it with a shot of the moon that I had taken a few minutes earlier.
Not those of this mill, but similar. In action these grindstones do not touch as they grind the wheat or corn into a very fine textured flour. If they did touch, they would wear appreciably and become useless. They would produce a pretty gritty product too, I expect.
I went to the old mill as part of my photography course at school and found it really interesting.
it's a real shame that some people find it necessary to abuse and destroy buildings in this way.
i'm not completely against graffiti etc. because some of it looks amazing, where as other parts look awful.
the building itself is in awful condition as it has quite obviously been a victim of arson a few times. the floors have various holes in and the ceilings are falling apart.
apart from those factors it's a location which is a prime example of Halifax's rise in the industrial world.
