Callington mill, Oatlands. Built 1837 for milling flour. Wind mill that hopefully one day will be a working piece of Tasmania's history.
The Baltic Mill project, an unrealised dream for the Wright Investments company.
I'm assuming that it probably took a hit from the 2008 financial crash, with the intended footprint of the project just an open space.
I hope this project has a second chance at some point, as it is it's just a flattened area fenced off.
Flatford Mill in Suffolk is an 18th century watermill and was a favourite location of artist John Contable. As an homage to Constable I decided to make this an HDR to give it a painting-like quality. The shot was taken in the late evening just before sunset.

House Mill
The Worlds largest tidal mill. 5-storey, timber-framed, brick-clad timber watermill with four waterwheels, originally built 1776 to mill grain for distillery trade. Operational until 1940. On historic 3 Mills Site.
History
The House Mill was built in 1776 by Daniel Bisson, on the site of an earlier mill and between two houses occupied by the miller and his family, hence its name. The Clock Mill opposite was rebuilt in 1817. There was also a third mill, a windmill, which survived until about 1840. The House Mill continued to operate until 1941 and the Clock Mill until 1952.
Restoration
In 1989 work began on the House Mill and the fabric of the Mill has been fully restored. As part of the work to restore the site, the Miller’s House, which had been demolished in the late 1950s, was reconstructed in 1993/4. The façade was rebuilt to the 1763 design with reused 18th century bricks. Using many of the original materials recovered from the bombed site, the ground floor of the Miller’s House has been reconstructed as original, whilst the rest of the building is a new structure.
The Miller’s House provides a visitor, information, and education centre, with meeting rooms for hire and a small cafe. It was funded by the European Union. In 1996 it won a Civic Trust Commendation for outstanding architecture.
The garden was laid out to include a combination of design suggestions by pupils of Sarah Bonnell School, and includes original kitchen garden plants and a herb garden.

The area known as Three Mills Island is a stretch of land surrounded by three channels of the ancient River Lea. There have been mills in this area for many centuries – according to the Domesday Survey, there were at least eight mills here at that point in time. Over time, wind power was used to drive mills with the addition of windmills. But, this area remains, perhaps, best known for its tidal mills. It was to become the home of the biggest tidal mill in the world.
The mills on this site were historically able to take advantage of the tidal flow of the river up to the Thames Estuary and the local Bow Creek. During its heyday, the mills here could work for up to eight hours in each tide, allowing them to become major producers in London.
In medieval times, Three Mills was the main producer of flour for local bakers who baked bread for the city. The mills here also had other uses, however, and at least one was a gunpowder mill. The site was largely developed in the 1720s when it was purchased by a group of local residents, including Peter Lefevre, a Huguenot refugee from France.
In the 1770s, the owners built the current House Mill building. Its name was derived from its location between two houses for staff who worked on the site as millers. The second of the mills, the Clock Mill, was constructed in 1817 and the third was a windmill. This site was a thriving concern in the 18th century. As well as the mills that worked on site, the owners also ran a distillery and piggery and employed many local people.
The House Mill was damaged by a fire in 1802 and needed to be partly rebuilt. Bombing during the Second World War effectively closed the site down in terms of milling production. The last of the mills to be in operation was the House Mill itself, which was ultimately shut down in 1941. This building now has a Grade I listing.

nrhp # 900001789- The original mill was constructed in 1808. That facility served the needs of George Beck's family and the newly arriving settlers until approximately 1825. Then a new and enlarged Mill was reconstructed into a building of approximately 30 feet by 30 feet. The Mill was again rebuilt in 1863-64 and made into this two story structure. The Mill continued to operate until approximately 1950.

The Dickman lumber mill operated from 1889 until 1977 and was the last working sawmill on the Old Tacoma waterfront. It burned in 1979 and is now the site of Dickman Mill Park. Here is a pic of the mill in operating condition in 1948 (http://search.tacomapubliclibrary.org/images2/88/t1/29392.jpg)
La Mille Miglia è emozione, passione, tradizione, eleganza e leggenda. La gara riservata alle auto d’epoca costruite tra il 1927 e il 1957 giunge quest’anno la sua 35ª rievocazione, che coincide anche con il 90° anniversario della prima edizione della corsa nel 1927.
Dal 1927 al 1957 piloti più o meno famosi si diedero battaglia su strade aperte al traffico, il suo tracciato negli anni fu modificato per ben tredici volte. La corsa inizialmente fu concepita come gara unica (non a tappe ma a cronometro) con un percorso a forma di “otto” da Brescia a Roma e ritorno, su una distanza di 1000 miglia corrispondenti a 1.600 km circa.
La Mille Miglia è un patrimonio d’eccellenza italiana e bresciana, è identità legata anche al Garda e alle sue bellezze. Desenzano è infatti la prima tappa della sua “folle corsa” e il legame della nostra città con la Mille Miglia parte da lontano: affonda le sue radici nell’epopea del Reparto Alta Velocità e nel record di Francesco Agello.
Non a caso, Desenzano è diventato il punto di partenza del “Ferrari Tribute to Mille Miglia” e del “Mercedes-Benz Mille Miglia Challenge”.
Il programma della Mille Miglia 2017, dopo la partenza della prima tappa da Brescia, prevede il primo equipaggio davanti al porto di Desenzano per le 15.15, lì i concorrenti effettueranno il controllo timbro. Contestualmente al passaggio della corsa, dal 16 al 21 maggio, è stata allestita in Galleria civica “G.Bosio” una mostra fotografica dedicata al pilota Tazio Nuvolari e alla Mille Miglia storica. Inaugurazione martedì 16 maggio alle ore 12.
Anche quest’anno, ad ammirare Desenzano del Garda, e tutte le altre magnifiche località sul percorso, oltre a circa milleottocento operatori dei media, ci saranno migliaia di appassionati provenienti da tutti i continenti, a conferma dell’internazionalità della Freccia Rossa. La promozione del territorio attraversato dalla corsa più bella del mondo, delle sue bellezze, delle tradizioni e dei suoi prodotti ha sempre rappresentato uno dei primi obiettivi della Mille Miglia.

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.

This mill is sometimes referred to Stonewall Jackson Mill, while General Jackson did live at this mill for a time he did not own the mill. The mill is administrated by the University of West VIrginia, it is not functional. It is near Weston, WV.
Today visitors can see the mill's grindstones and milling equipment

The Graue Mill is a water-powered grist mill that was originally erected in 1852. Now a museum, it is one of two operating water-powered gristmills in Illinois (the other is the Franklin Creek Grist Mill). It is located on Salt Creek in Oak Brook, Illinois, owned by the Forest Preserve District of DuPage County and operated by a nonprofit preservationist group.

Built in the 1700's this mill stands in the Area of Warwick, NY near Florida that was once known as Randelville. It was enlarged in the1830's when it became a piano forte factory. That expansion on either side no longer exists.
The Beam Mill line can be seen diverging away from the goods and passenger lines and running along the incline. It will later cross over the running lines to enter the Lackenby Steelworks site.
Mill Lade Remains in Roslin Glen Country Park near Edinburgh. This old gunpowder mill was built in the early 1800's and used the nearby River North Esk as it's power source. I think the two walls on the right held the water wheel.

A paltrok mill
Wood sawing windmill 'De Gekroonde Poelenburg', a paltrok type of windmill, is almost the last of the 200 or so wood sawing mills that were to be found in the Zaanstreek. Paltrok mills are distinctively different to most other windmill types. They have a three-sided open work floor, have a dark façade and to turn the sails into the wind the whole body of the mill is rotated with the aid of a great ring of rollers built on a brick base. Other mills have a stationary body and only the cap rotates to turn the sails.
De 'Gekroonde Poelenburg' was built in 1869 in Koog aan de Zaan to replace a similar mill that was destroyed to make room for the Amsterdam – Alkmaar railway line. In 1904 it was moved to Zaandam to replace another mill that had burned down and in 1963 was dismantled, moved again, and reconstructed at its present location, the Zaanse Schans.
Paltrok
Houtzager "De Gekroonde Poelenburg" is een molen van het type paltrok, waarvan er ooit 200 hebben gestaan in de Zaanstreek. Paltrokmolens hebben aan drie zijden een open werkvloer en een geteerd, dus donker molenlijf. Bij het kruien (op de wind draaien) wordt de gehele molenmassa over een rolring rondgedraaid. De paltrok is hierdoor een onderkruier in tegenstelling tot de bovenkruiers, waarvan alleen de kap met de wieken draait.
"De Gekroonde Poelenburg" werd in 1869 gebouwd in Koog aan de Zaan ter vervanging van een soortgenoot, die moest verdwijnen voor de aanleg van de spoorlijn Amsterdam - Alkmaar. In 1904 moest de molen opnieuw plaatsmaken en werd hij verhuisd naar een plek aan De Gouw in Zaandam-oost. In 1963 werd hij tenslotte opnieuw uit elkaar genomen en verplaatst naar de Zaanse Schans.
