"Constructed in 1912, the 150-ton ore concentration mill with its massive post and beam construction is an unusual example of a prefabricated industrial building. Its pieces were pre-cut, pre-fit, and coded with numbers and letters before being shipped to the site for assembly."

We made most of the long weekend and spent a lovely holiday down in South Devon. Our accommodation was close to Soar Mill Cove so I took the rare opportunity to take some photos at sunset. On the way down to the cove I had to cross a meadow with grazing young bulls. They were quite interested in me and I was not in the mood to be trampled so I initially tried to pass them very slowly. Suddenly some of the youngsters became quite active and started jumping so I lost my nerves and ran downhill crossing a boggy patch on the way - must have been quite the sight. After escaping the wild bunch I enjoyed the magnificent coastal views and took plenty of photos. I especially liked the thrift lining the cliff edge. Because there was such a huge exposure difference between cove and setting sun I used two exposures and blended them together in photoshop.

A good cross-section of the Lake Superior & Ishpeming’s mid-1980’s roster is shown in this view at the Eagle Mills Shops. On the left, in the late 1970’s green paint scheme, is RSD12 1802, purchased new from Alco in 1956. In the center is RSD15 2403, acquired from the Santa Fe in the mid-1970’s, where it plied the rails of its system, including Cajon Pass, as AT&SF 744. To the right, in sparkling new red paint, is U23C 2301, purchased new from GE in 1968.
Mabry Mill
Blue Ridge Parkway, VA
From my 2010 archives.
Mabry Mill is my favorite Grist Mill and one of the most photographed places on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
The mill was operated by E.B. Mabry from 1910 - 1935. It was first a blacksmith and wheelwright shop, then a sawmill and then in 1905 a grist mill. By 1910 the front part of the mill was completed. If you would like to visit Mabry Mill, it is located at mile marker 176.2.
I first learnt about this mill on a BBC programme called "Restoration". Since then I'd often wondered where the mill was as I drove through the village, usually en-route to somewhere else. This time however I stopped and had a good look around and was left feeling rather staggered by how obvious the mill and it's famous leat actually are. This was a long exposure shot using an ND1000 filter.
There were once numerous watermills along the River Nene in Northamptonshire, and historical records show that there were two at Cotterstock, a couple of miles north of Oundle, in the 1300s. The mill building that remains is much later than that, and probably dates from the Georgian era. It has been converted into a residential property, like several other old watermills that still remain. In the distance can be seen the spire of St Peter's Church in Oundle, a famous landmark for many miles around.
The River Mersey was as flat as a mill pond as the hard working sand dredger “Deo Gloria” made her way into Garston Dock.

I got up early today and drove to Lewiston, ME expecting to photograph hot air balloons but that never happened as rain was expected. Very briefly the sun shown through some clouds and this is the result. There are several large mills in Lewiston that have not been occupied since the 1950's or so. The one here has been repurposed to be used for businesses. The out of place apartment building was built about 20 years ago I was told by a former resident.
It seemed like depiction of some kind of traditional Korean machine (probably traditional water mill).

The original mill on this site was built in 1852 and was destroyed in 1868. It was rebuilt by Thomas McConnell in 1875 who replaced the waterwheel with water turbines This made McConnell's Mill one of the first rolling mills in the country. The mill was closed in 1928.
McConnells Mill State Park is 2,546 acres, in Lawrence County PA, Slippery Rock Township, and is one of the most beautiful parks to visit, so long as you can endure the hiking up, down or through the deep gorge that encompassed it.
The Old Mill in the historic town of Barton Upon Humber. Situated off the market place The Old Mill was built in 1803 and originally used to grind chalk and barley. After it ceased production in 1950 the building stood derelict until its conversion to a Public House in 1990.
During the reconstruction, an early Saxon burial ground was unearthed. 106 skeletons and various objects including swords and jewellery were found, of which some are now to be found in the nearby Baysgarth Museum
The remains of an old lead smelting mill on the moors between Arkengarthdale and Swaledale. It replaced two earlier watermills on the site and operated from the mid to late 19th century.
Oh, when this sunny day happens after a period of pure meteorological sadness and you haven't taken a picture for DAYS ;-)
So I just happened to look up watermills in my area and randomly chose the cedar creek grist mill to check out.
I guess I left a bit late considering the sun was just about to disappear behind the ridge. As you can see by the shadow in the bottom, the sun was about to be gone when I got this shot.
Langstone Mill built in 1730 and in use as a mill untill WW1 it was originally used together with the adjacent tide mill. The top and the sail have now been removed and it has been converted to residential use.

Water Mill.
Whilst Pakenham’s water mill was actually built in 1831 (some sources claim it was built earlier) however it was not the first mill on the site as it replaced a Tudor mill which was recorded in the Doomsday Book.
In 1846 the miller Clement Goodrich began to pass on his knowledge to an apprentice who he had just taken on board.
The Bryant family in 1885 took ownership of the mill where it remained for several generations.
Restored in 1950 by Amos Clarke a millwright from Ipswich who fitted a new weatherbeam to the mill.
Grants from the Suffolk County Council and the Ministry of Works enabled further restoration works to be carried out in 1961 and was subject to the condition that the Bryant family were to keep the mill operational.
A lightning rod was added to the mill following a near disaster in June 1971 when it was struck by lightning and damaged a sail. The mill was saved from destruction due entirely to the fact that the sack chain provided a route for the lightning to earth and thus avoided further damage.
A lightning conductor was added to the mill when the mill was repaired to avoid a repeat.
The mill remained operational until 1970 and has remained in the Bryant family where it underwent further restoration work in 2001.

Different conditions this weekend, so after the rain passed, I re visited the canal tow path for a similar view of the mills in Saltaire but in very different light. I had hoped for larger puddles to capture reflections in.
According to Wikipedia, no one knows exactly when this mill was built, but it was probably around 1846. It is now the only remaining timber-frame water-powered mill along the Grand River
