Day 223 Donisthorpe Mill was targeted by an arsonist in the summer & I was interested to see how repairs were coming along. I took a long exposure to iron out the ripples.
Salt Mills in Saltaire. The sky was a bit dull and I didn't have any grads with me so I have spiced it up with some gimp trickery...
Thanks to Bamawester's posting some shots from here I had to make a trip by here. This place was so neat but we just had some terrible bad storms shortly before we got here. All the streams were gushing. I would like to come back when water levels are more tame.
Dalton Mills was once the largest textile mill in the region, employing over 2000 workers. It was built by Joseph Craven in 1869, replacing the original mill which was owned by Rachel Leach in the 1780's.
The mill was named Dalton Mills after the manager employed by Rachel Leach, a man called Dalton.
In its heyday between 1869 and 1877 the mill provided jobs for workers all over Keighley and the Worth Valley.
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.
Part of the renovation of the Clock Tower has included restarting the landmark clock which has not ticked for 25 years. In the mill's heyday, thousands of workers relied on the clock to get to work on time, but the hands had not moved for a quarter of a century. Last year Magna Holdings repaired the clock, and illuminated the faces, so it can display the time to the whole of Dalton Lane again.

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.
Not every mill in Manchester has been refurbished. These are vast buildings that require tremendous amounts of vision and cash to update.
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.

Graue Mill was a major center of economic life during the 19th century and was also used by Fred Graue to hide runaway slaves on their journey to freedom in Canada. President Abraham Lincoln reportedly visited Graue Mill during a trip from Chicago to Springfield. Three generations of the Graue family operated the mill for 60 years until modern milling methods rendered the old mill obsolete and the building was abandoned.
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.

It is believed that a mill and mill house have existed on the site since the 12th century, but the present Grade II listed building dates from the 18th and early 19th centuries. The River Leadon forms the race for the mill whose 4.3m wheel ceased work during the Second World War. However, a Gloucester engineer restored it in 1982.
