Houghton Mill (NT) is the last surviving mill on the River Great Ouse able to produce stone ground flour from a water-powered wheel.
This is the view of Mill Pond you would get if you turn around from the shot of the 2nd inlet I posted earlier. Mill Pond is about 9 acres and has been in Laura's family for half a century. A wonderful place to relax and enjoy nature. This is a blend of three exposures taken just after sunset.
Rutter Force is a waterfall on Hoff Beck. The mill to the right was used to generate electricity for the nearby village of Great Asby.
Norfolk Southern's Penn Central Heritage unit leads stack train 22A west through Wytheville, Va., passing the N&W CPL's that guard the east end of the Wytheville passing siding at Stones Mill. To my understanding, these signals were recently replaced.
Saturday 26th July 1986. Rock Nook Mill was still a working factory. It's now a burnt out shell, but I imagine at least somebody has plans to turn it into new build flats for Manchester commuters.
Houghton Mill was almost demolished, then saved by the local villagers and restored to working order to carry on the tradition of milling on this site for over 1,000 years.

“We were going to the long field which today looked like an ocean, although I had never seen an ocean; the grass was moving in the breeze and the cloud shadows passed back and forth and the trees in the distance moved.”

Cropthorne Mill, Fladbury, Worcestershire, England, UK.
Fladbury is a traditional English village located in rural Worcestershire, England. The village was mentioned in the Domesday Book, almost 1,000 years ago. It is sited on the banks of the River Avon, with many interesting and original buildings and features. Cropthorne village is on the opposite bank of the Avon. The two ancient communities are linked by the Jubilee Bridge.
Cropthorne Mill was originally built to serve the village of Cropthorne about a mile downstream.
The buildings in this historic mill complex date from 1850 till about 1890. They were used to manufacture wool, cotton, paper bags, and then, finally, chocolate from the early 1900s till World War II. More recently the old mill buildings have been renovated and repurposed as retail, dining and office space. Ballston Spa, New York.
DANVILLE VA: DAN RIVER MILLS: Once upon a time, a long time ago, factory workers lived very close to the factory. So close, in fact, they could be called to work by the ringing of the factory bell or whistle.

Three cotton spinning mills built for the Mutual Spinning Company. On the left is the No.1 Mill on which construction began in 1884. Next is the No.2 Mill which has a foundation stone dated 1891. Just visible at the right edge is the No.3 Mill, started in late 1914 but due to the war production did not start until 1922.
The completion of this mill made the company the largest cotton spinning firm in the district with a total of 246,000 spindles. The mills continued in operation until relatively late, switching from cotton production during the mid-20th century to incorporating woollen and artificial fibre spinning.
The design of the mills was by local architects. Potts, Pickup and Dixon (No.1), Potts, Son and Pickup (No.2) and Potts and Henning (No.3). This is reflected in the similarities between the three buildings.

The earliest mill built on this land was built by Johann Heinrich Kersten in 1725. Kersten shortened his name to Kerst as many immigrants did to make for easier pronunciation. The current mill was built in 1841, a 40'x 55' limestone mill standing 3.5 stories and covered with stucco. The head race is fed from Manatawny Creek and the tail race empties into the pond. The mill is located on Bertolet Mill Road near the intersection with Kauffman Road in Oley, Berks County, Pennsylvania.

On our way home from Suffolk we took a detour to Flatford Mill. All durring our trip the weather was fabulous but alas on the way home the clouds rolled in and a strange errie light fell upon the countryside. Great place though and well worth the visit, great cafe as well!
Mill Beach, south of Bermagui on the NSW Far South Coast was named after a sawmill nearby that used to exploit the Spotted Gum forests of the adjoining area. The sheltered location also enabled loading of the cut timber onto boats for transfer to markets.

In the 1800s, the Barrington Woolen Mill was an important local business that used machinery and water power to turn raw fleece into the yarn and cloth needed to make warm, durable clothing.
Powered by the mill's rushing river, machines like the spinner, twister, skeiner and loom made it possible to wash, pick, card, spin, dye and weave wool in a fraction of the time it took to do by hand.
Today, visitors can step inside the preserved mill and discover how small manufacturing operations like this helped shape Nova Scotia by offering growing communities valuable services and jobs.

Cromford Mills
As usual, Cromford Mills near Matlock Bath was full of people enjoying their day out so waiting for a clear view of the small weir took quite some time.

Ripponden
According to the book called The History of the Antiquities of the Parish of Halifax, written by a man called John Watson in 1775, two Fulling Mills stood on this site at Slithero Bridge, on the main Oldham Road right on the boundary of the villages of Ripponden and Rishworth. Later they were replaced by textile mills, which subsequently closed leaving this behind. I’ve no idea what it is other than it looks like some kind of boiler. It’s tucked away in a difficult to reach area, behind what is now a farm shop/butchers/cafe and gift shop. The cafe and gift shop are closed at the moment due to the Covid 19 virus, but the farm shop and butchers remain open.
