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.
Woodson's Mill
Piney River, VA
This Grist Mill is on the National Register of Historic Places. This is a fine example of a 19th Centry Mill. This one is a bit unique as it has two water wheels, one on each of the mill. The mill was originally constructed in 1794 by Guildford Campbell and was called "Big Piney Mill". The present structure on the foundation of the original mill, is four stories and was completed in 1845.
Preston Mill is a watermill on the River Tyne at the eastern edge of East Linton on the B1407 Preston Road, in East Lothian, Scotland, UK
There has been a mill on the site since the 16th century. The present mill dates from the 18th century and is in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. It was used commercially until 1959, and it produced oatmeal. The River Tyne still drives the water wheel, and the machinery can still be seen at work by visitors taking part in a tour. There is also an exhibition about milling, and a mill pond.
The engineer and millwright Andrew Meikle maintained the mill in the 18th century. In 1948 a flood submerged the buildings, and in 1950 a local land owner gave the mill to the National Trust for Scotland. The milling firm Rank Hovis McDougall provided help with the renovation and expertise to allow the mill to be operative again.
Preston Mill consists of a kiln, a mill, and the miller's house. The mill wheel dates back to 1909. The mill is loved by visitors, painters and photographers, especially the kiln with its conical red pantile roof. (source Wikipedia).
I commute through Hazelwood daily on my way to work and yet I never have a camera on me. Last Saturday, I went to a gallery opening in Sharpsburg and actually remembered to bring a camera. On my way home, I stopped to grab a shot of Mill 19 at the recently redeveloped Hazelwood Green.
This structure once housed a rolling mill for making bar products for J&L Steel. During site redevelopment, the exterior sheeting was stripped off and three new office/lab space buildings were built underneath.
Rick Rowlands has a nice video describing some of the operations on this site: youtu.be/4OLPIVa6BHk
One hundred years the mill has stood:
One hundred years the dashing flood
Has turned the wheel with roaring sound,
Through foaming waters, round and round.
One hundred years: and overhead
The same broad roof of blue is spread;
And in the meadows, bright and green,
The miller's children still are seen.
And thus the world is still the same:
The sunset clouds are turned to flame;
And while we live, and when we die,
The lark still carols in the sky.
And others rise to fill our place;
We sleep, and others run the race:
And earth beneath and skies above
Are still the same; and God is love.
"The Old Mill" ~ John R Eastwood (c1896)
LS&I RSD12's 1804, 1802 and 1850 exit the rock cut and are about to cross Riihinen Road and work there way onto the joint track with CNW at Eagle Mills Junction on August 25, 1984. The good looking Alco's have 120 empties in tow for Tilden.

Although lived about 4 miles away from age 5-18 I'd never visited this mill. Some 50 years later I turn upon as a tourist with a camera :)
This is the "other" side of the Glade Creek Grist Mill at Babcock State Park in West Virginia. With all of the snow, we had the place completely to ourselves today. What a difference from last Fall when there were people everywhere.
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.

abandoned Headquarters Saw Mill, Merville, BC
The "Blokker", a wip mill, pierces through the mist at sunrise. A mill has been standing on this spot in the Kinderdijk at least since 1542. The current windmill most likely dates from 1633 and was restored after the fire damages from 1997.

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.
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.

Apps Mill: Ontario’s Old Mills. Built in 1841, it was actively operated until 1954. At that time Hurricane Hazel washed out the dam which supplied the mill with water and it was abandoned. It is near Brantford.
This Mill Dam has a fish ladder and the salmon are back to spawn in the Sydenham River. Another spot within walking distance from my home.
Tidal Mill, Carew.
History does not tell exactly how long a mill has existed at Carew however there is documented evidence that suggests that a Mill was in existence at the site from as early as 1542.
For the sum of ten sovereigns per annum according to records the mill was leased to John Bartlett in 1558.
During the intervening years the mill was rebuilt and the current mill most likely dates from the early 19th century and it contains two Mill wheels one of which is dated 1801.
This timeframe would coincide with the late 18th century revival of the agricultural industry which saw the Mill being used on a continual basis.
Perhaps it was in reference to the French burr stones which accounts for the Mill being referred to as the ‘French Mill’.
The Mill was used continually until 1937 when it ceased operations and as a result it lay dormant until the early 1970’s.
A complete renovation of the Mill was undertaken and was completed in 1972 by the Carew Estate which was aided by funds from the Historical Buildings Council of Wales.

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.

A view of old Hammond Mill in rural Ozark county Missouri, taken in 2007 on an overcast winter day. This old mill was converted to a residence a few years back and was still occupied the last time I was in the area.
There has been a drainage mill on this site on the river Waveney at Haddiscoe, Norfolk since at least 1797.
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.
