This reconstruction of the original Mills House stands on the site on which Otis Mills, a grain merchant and real estate developer, built his grand hotel in 1853. Designed by architect John E. Earle, the building had running water and steam heat, the first such installations on a large scale in the city. The five story, 125-room hotel cost $200,000 to build. The cast iron balcony on the facade came from Philadelphia, and terra cotta window cornices were ordered from Worcester, Mass. The entrance porch has rusticated columns supporting arches. Gen. Robert E. Lee was a guest at the hotel in 1861 and watched the great fire of that year from the balcony until the proximity of the fire forced him to leave the hotel. The staff of the hotel saved it by hanging wet blankets out the windows, so that the building was blackened but not destroyed. Gen. Pierre G.T. Beauregard, the confederate commander, used the hotel as his headquarters until Mills invited him to use his own residence in Meeting Street. A later guest was Theodore Roosevelt. For many years, the hotel was named the St. John's. ln 1968 the old hotel was torn down and the present building was erected, in the same ltalianate style as the original. ln the reconstruction, the old ironwork was retained and the terra cotta was copied in fiberglass. The building is two stories higher.
After the main buildings of Lihue Sugar Mill were dismantled in early 2014 and the processing equipment shipped to a mill in the Phillippines, a 10 ft. high pile of scrap metal remained behind.

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.

Things I didn't notice until today: The DM logo (Was it once the Dutch Mill?) and the remnants of neon on the windmill itself. This place must have looked SO cool in its heyday.
Graeme Lyons, the ecologist at Sussex Wildlife Trust.
Went from work straight to the Sussex Wildlife Trust HQ Woods Mill today, for a members evening. Arrived just in time for tea and cake, then we were taken by Graeme for a walk around the reserve to listen out for nightingales. Heard one briefly. He very kindly let me take a portrait image at the end. Loved the tattoos!

Driving home from Galena last night, we watched the rising full moon in front of us, and decided to try getting a shot of it rising over Beckman Mill. A mutual decision we made so suddenly that I almost missed the turn at County H!
The trees made me doubt we'd get anything. I could see some orange sky hues, but no sign of the moon. Thankfully, Suzie was wandering around while I checked exposure settings, and said come over here, by me, quick! She was right. (Note: we're doing this in the dark, without dark adapted eyes, and right along the edge of the pond.) When the moon cleared these trees, the orange haze was gone, and the typical cold white glow of a full moon was all that remained. #teamwork
Our tour guide showed us how to do the donkey's job, and we got to taste sugar cane water, fresh from the cane :) The guy in the jamaican flag shirt was crazy... that's all I'm gonna say. Oh, and he was from Canada ;)
The fully functional tower mill "Geismühle" was orginally a watch tower built circa 1300. In the 15th century it was turned into a windmill, which was restored in 2007.
De volledig functionele toren molen was oorspronkelijk een uitkijktoren gebouwd omstreeks 1300. In de 15e eeuw werd omgezet in een molen, die werd gerestaureerd in 2007.
The Lybster Mill, constructed between 1860-6, became one of the largest and a pioneer in the cotton industry in the early days of the Dominion of Canada. The building would become home to a paper mill in the early 20th Century operated by Lincoln Paper Mills and Howard Smith Paper Mills. In 1961 Domtar would operate the plant and expand the operations surrounding the historic mill with modern buildings, operating in the location until 2002. During the extensive cleanup of Merritton area in 2002 the Domtar buildings were demolished and the original 1866 mill restored and today is home to a boutique hotel and Italian restaurant.

The powerful flow of water along Pond Brook allowed the mills of Mechanicsville to thrive in the 1800's and early 1900's.
My first trip to Mill Lane, Walton-on-the-Naze. This was a lovely old boat called Patricia. Does anyone know what the top four sets of numbers refer to?
