Hyde's Mill was built by Ted Sawle, Sr. at the original site of the 1850 dam on Mill Creek to represent an early grist mill. The mill is located approximately 6 miles north of Ridgeway, Wisconsin, on County Highway H in southwestern Wisconsin.
Hyde Mill, located near Ridgeway and Dodgeville, Wisconsin is one of the oldest (1850) watermills in the state. And, it's for sale. I am trying to photograph it during all of the seasons. Summer was easy, but the last two autumns in southern Wisconsin have not been good...maybe this year.
The Old Mill is not actually as old as it appears. In 1933, Justin Matthews contracted for the construction of a replica of an old-water-powered grist mill. He did not set out to copy any preexisting mill, but instead chose to design something that would fit with the contour of the area. He wanted the mill to appear as if it belonged in Arkansas and had been here since the 1800s. The Mill is intended to appear neglected, just as old mills that were in service in the early 1800's had become by the 1930's.
The old South isn't completely gone with the wind in North Little Rock. A short drive from McCain mall will bring you to a quiet, tranquil place that looks like something from an old movie. As a matter of fact, it was featured in the opening scene of Gone With the Wind. It's believed to be the only remaining structure from that film. So, put on your hoop skirt, grab your parasol and your "twiddly dee dee" attitude and come for a visit.

Bailey Mill Dates back to the mid 19c, the Mill was run by Mallalieu's for many years, but they went into administration in 1996. They came out of administration when they were bought by another Delph weaving company, Gledhills. However, in doing so, most of the business was transferred to Valley Mill, just up the road. Bailey Mill remained open until about January 2000. The Mill still retains much of its industrial past, including a magnificent loom on the top floor. Vandalism, Pigeons and the other vermin that take copper and anything else they can sell has taken its toll, but the building is still reasonably intact and sealed up tight.

Big Mill, Mill Street, Leek, Staffordshire, c1860.
By William Sugden (1821-1892).
For Lovatt & Gould, silk manufacturers.
Grade ll listed.
The mill is an important example of large-scale building for the silk industry, and represents one of the earliest mill buildings on this scale in Leek. It is also a good example of the mill-style developed by William Sugden, the leading mill architect at work in Leek at this time.
