I went to Anglesey Abbey to finish off a test roll in the Autocord, and also to capture the main building with the wildflower meadow in the foreground. The meadow and weather were great for capturing it, but unfortunately it was clad in ugly scaffolding, typical! But still, there are other views and details to capture here, including the mill, and soon wished I’d brought some more rolls of film.

The Elora Mill dates back to 1833, built by William Gilkison, a Scottish Naval Captain. Glickson purchased the area along the shores of the Grand River. He originally wanted to build on the South side of the River but dynamiting through the thick limestone proved too much. Due to this, the construction was moved to the north side of the Grand to the location that the Mill stands today. The building was enlarged in 1859, after a fire. The building has been used as a saw mill, flour mill, woollen mill, distillery and now a high end hotel, restaurant and spa.
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.

Pictured here is a view of Mill Neck Manor as captured during Long Island's peak fall foliage season. This private manor is a gorgeous Tudor Revival mansion that is located on an 86 acre estate. It can be found on Long Island's North Shore along the Long Island Sound.
The manor itself is two-stories, has over 34 family rooms, 16 bathrooms, along with several guest and service rooms as well. The outside of the building is made from granite blocks that are trimmed in limestone. The Initial designs and construction on the manor began back in 1922, and was originally known as Sefton Manor.
The manor was later purchased by the Lutheran Friends of the Deaf back in 1949, and today serves as the home for the Mill Neck Manor School for the Deaf. This institution is dedicated to empowering both deaf and hard of hearing individuals, and works to provide students with the tools necessary to be successful despite the challenges they face with respect to hearing.

Another revisited shot from last August taken at Thorrington water mill near Colchester in Essex. Had a smashing sunrise that morning which I would have preferred shining onto the mill but I am still very happy with this shot all the same.
Another shot from my trip to lake district!
I eventually found this mill thanks to directions from Alex Bell & Dick Coulthard Thanks Lads!
Place Mill is a Grade II listed Anglo-Saxon watermill located a short distance to the south of the Priory on Christchurch Quay. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book and features a mediaeval stone base underneath red brickwork. The mill belonged to the Priory but stopped working in 1908 and stood derelict until purchased by the council and restored in 1981. It is unique in that it takes water from one river (the Avon) and spills it into a second river (the Stour). A millstream is supplied from the Royalty Fisheries near to the Electricity Museum behind Bargates, and flows for nearly 0.5 miles (0.80 km) to the mill between the Avon and the Priory grounds before joining the River Stour. A mediaeval Grade II listed bridge known as the Place Mill Bridge crosses the millstream nearby.

This picturesque early 19th century mill, is situated in on the banks of the River Mole. It is Grade II listed and is the only surviving fully working watermill in Surrey. It was originally part of a much larger mill complex that once stood alongside. Its rural location next to the nearby weirs, the views over the adjacent fields and farmland, and the variety of local wildlife, make it ideally placed for leisurely exploration.
Although the Domesday Book records that there were three mills in Cobham, we have no documentary evidence that shows that one of them was on the present site. The other two mills were at Ash Ford on Cobham Tilt and at Downside. The earliest known written reference to a mill at the site of the present Cobham Mill is dated 1534 when it was owned, together with the Manor of Cobham, by the Abbey of Chertsey. Since then, there have been several mills on the site and one, probably wooden, was washed away by floods in 1799. Two buildings were erected in its place, the larger being a 4-stone mill used to produce flours and fresh bran. The smaller mill, which remains today, was completed in about 1822 for the production of animal feed.
A succession of families has either owned or leased the mill. The Abbott of Chertsey leased the mill to Richard Sutton in 1534. Those associated with the mill through the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries include Sir Anthony Browne, George Bygley and Thomas Lucy who remained at the mill until 1787. From the 1830s the Sweetlove family was involved with the mill. In 1871 a Mrs. Batchelor was the “Master Miller employing five men and one boy”, and in 1890 her nephew, Thomas Sweetlove, took a lease on the mill. Eventually the mill was bought by Henry Moore & Son, the last owners to operate the mill commercially.
By 1928 milling ceased due to the competition from roller mills situated at the ports through which grain from the U.S.A. and Canada was being imported. The larger of the two mills was badly damaged during the Second World War when a Canadian tank ran into it. In 1953 this part of the mill complex was demolished completely so that Mill Road could be widened.
Throughout the 1980s several attempts were made to have the mill restored. The Cobham Conservation Group was particularly active during this time and set up a separate charitable trust, the Cobham Mill Preservation Trust. In July 1990 the Trust became the tenant of the National Rivers Authority, which was by this time the owner of the mill.
The restoration work, which was carried out by a dedicated group of local enthusiasts, including retired engineers, soon got underway. This work was completed in less than three years, and on the 13th of December 1992 the restored mill ground grain and produced flour for the first time in more than sixty years. Since then the Cobham Mill Preservation Trust has taken responsibility for the day-to-day care and maintenance of the mill, the milling machinery and the surrounding landscaped areas. In addition, the Trust organises the opening of the mill to the public.
After the completion of the restoration work and the commencement of the regular public openings the Trust received Elmbridge Borough Council's 'Conservation Award' in 1996, and in 1997 it was awarded the Surrey Industrial History Group's 'Conservation Plaque'.

C&O 614 hustles through Highland Mills, NY with a westbound Hoboken to Port Jervis excursion. 614 powered a series of main line excursions between 1996 and 1998 that featured unassisted 79-mph running. Sadly, 614's operating career was cut short after 1998 and it has since wound up as a display piece at Clifton Forge, VA...an unfortunate end to a locomotive with a rich history.

Mouth of Wilson
"Mouth of Wilson is an unincorporated community in Grayson County in the U.S. state of Virginia, just north of the North Carolina state line. The community lies in the Blue Ridge Highlands section of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which are part of what is considered the Middle Appalachian Mountains, on the western banks of the New River, where Big Wilson Creek empties its waters. The main road through the area is U.S. Route 58; other major roads include Virginia Route 16 and Virginia Route 93 (County Line Road).
The name Mouth of Wilson originates from a young surveyor named Wilson, who died and was buried in a creek while surveying the line between Virginia and North Carolina in 1749. The creek was thenceforth known as Wilson Creek, which empties into the New River where the town was established. The first European settler in the region was Robert Parsons, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, who was awarded a grant of 1,600 acres (6.5 km2) from the North Carolina line to Wilson Creek. One of Parsons' nine sons, Johnny Parsons, built the first mill on the creek. The mill was built to grind corn, with a sawmill as an extension. Johnny Parsons served one term as the overseer of the South Fork and New River Turnpike in the Virginia General Assembly. Another mill was constructed in 1884 by Colonel Fields J. McMillan. The community built a power dam in 1930, introducing electricity to Mouth of Wilson.
Oak Hill Academy, a Baptist-affiliated secondary school, is located in Mouth of Wilson. Oak Hill was built in 1878. Rev. W. A. Hash became principal in 1923 and oversaw the accreditation of the school and construction of dormitories, a water system, and electric lines. In recent history, the school has earned eight national high-school basketball championships since 1993, becoming widely recognized for its athletic programs. Most students are boarders, so that the population of Mouth of Wilson increases substantially during the school year." (Wikipedia)

Looking out over Pleasley Vale Mills, with Pleasley Park Woods in the background. The Mill Pond is to the left and the new white building stands on the Site of the Mill Owners House.
Pleasley Vale Mill, a textile mill, located to the north east of Pleasley Village. William Hollins & Co Ltd began in 1784 at the Pleasley Vale, the factory there became the first establishment in the world to take in raw cloth material at one end of the factory and sent out the garment, ready for sale, at the other end. William Hollins was established at The Pleasley Vale site for three basic reasons: 1. Water supply 2. The trees in the valley maintained the required humidity levels, and 3. The closeness to the main highways of the day. Labour was difficult to recruit due to the remoteness so a workhouse for child labour was established. Two mills were built but both mills burnt down in 1840's. The mill buildings in this photograph were built in the mid 19th century and replaced the earlier burnt Georgian buildings. When they were re-built, steam driven machinery was introduced. This mill later developed the Viyella cloth. They won large contracts from the government to provide cloth during the Second World War. William Hollins & Company still manufactures clothes under the Viyella brand. The Hucknall, Nottingham-based company is a subsidiary of Coats Viyella.

One of the several buildings still standing near the ghost town of Animas Forks, Colorado. Animas Forks is located 12 miles northeast of Silverton, Colorado in the San Juan mountains at 11,200 ft elevation. This particular building was positioned near the opening of a several mines.
"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."

See the video, as this is a fully functional saw mill, from the 1860s, that still runs and functions. It is used to cut lumber to produce goods for the museum village.
An open-air museum / heritage park recreating village life in 1860s eastern Canada, with fully functional machinery and era-accurate workers who work the machines and use the techniques of the time to make various things for the village (and gift shop, naturally).
A superb place to visit, full of history and photography opportunity.
