Shaddon Mill was built for spinning cotton by Peter Dixon & Sons in 1836. The Chimney was 305ft high when first built making it the 8th tallest chimney in the world!
Dixon's Chimney and Shaddon Mill was built in Shaddongate, Carlisle, Cumbria, England, by Peter Dixon in 1836. The architect Richard Tattersall was from Manchester.
Shaddon Mill was a cotton factory, the chimney of which became famous due to its height. The chimney was built to be tall enough to prevent the large amounts of smoke generated by the factory becoming noxious to the rest of the city. In its day Shaddon Mill was the largest cotton mill in England and had the 8th largest chimney in the world.
Shaddon Mill became listed in 1949 and the chimney was listed in 1972. Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. provided work for 8000 people in their four mills in the area.
In 1883 Peter Dixon and Sons Ltd. went into liquidation and the mill was taken over by Robert Todd and Sons Ltd., who then used the mill for wool production rather than cotton.
Dixon's Chimney, being such a popular and historic structure in Carlisle, was restored by Carlisle City Council in 1999. Originally it was 305 ft tall, but in 1950 it was shortened to 290 ft. The internal diameter of the chimney remains 17 ft 6 in and 10 ft walls at the base.
In 2005 part of the mill was converted into apartments by Story Homes and the other part is used by the University of Cumbria
Mill Lane mural, I seem to remember clambering about on a roof on Mill Lane looking at telephone cables a few years ago and this may have been the roof.

Starting from near Kingshurst in Solihull then towards Shard End in Birmingham and back.
Babbs Mill Lake is a man-made lake located in the Kingfisher Country Park in the Kingshurst area of Solihull, England. The lake was created as a balancing feature in times of flooding from the River Cole which is located nearby.
The lake gives its name to Babbs Mill Park, which was created to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II in 1977. It was designated a Local Nature Reserve in 2002.
In March 2016, Solihull Council's planning committee approved a scheme to build 52 houses on land amounting to approximately seven per cent of the reserve.
Since August 2019, Babbs Mill Lake has hosted a parkrun, a free, weekly timed 5 km run/walk, every Saturday morning at 9am.

A stone mill from Oaxaca, and used by Taza Chocolate the same way it is used back in Mexico. The mills grind the cacao nibs into a grainy paste.

Built in 1863, Tingler's Mill was known for it's overshot wheel, a rarity in the area at the time since most mills were built much closer to their water source.
A small stream feeds the mill pond, which is way above Potts Creek that flows past about twenty feet below the mill.
These pipes carry the water from the mill pond to the wheel.

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.
I took the picture on a walk from Tideswell, down Tideswell Dale to eventually cross the Monsal Trail at Litton Mill. It was then a steepish haul up to the hill above High Dale. From here an easy track meanders through Brushfield before gradually descending down to the Monsal Head Viaduct. Then it's an easy walk along the Monsal Trail before taking the path down to Cressbrook just before the tunnel. A very muddy walk up through Cressbrook Dale (very gloomy in the poor weather) before coming out of the woods to the picturesque head of the Dale. Then up through Tansley Dale to Litton followed by an easy walk by road to Tideswell (although the gods chose this moment to drop all the rain on me that had been threatening all day to ensure I was soaked when I got back to the B&B).
