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.

8223 trundles south through Phoenix Mills after grabbing storage and spare cars at MP2 just south of Cooperstown. 8223 is the last operating, if not the last existing S7 in the world.
8223 is easily my favorite on the roster at the CACV, always makes a wonderful noise going up Clintonville Hill. I do have video from this as well at this spot, YouTube: NYSW3636
“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.”

Lake Mills on Sept 10th 2009. Very peaceful. We could see about 20' down underwater. This lake will be gone in a year or so. They are removing the dam to hopefully restore salmon runs etc. Will see I guess. There is a lot of controversy over it.

Belmont Mill is a mining camp in White Pine County, Nevada. Note that this is nowhere near the better known town of Bemont. This mill and several nearby buildings were built in the early 1900's to process silver ore from mines on nearby mountains. There are still cables from an aerial tram used to bring ore to the mill, and some machinery is intact inside. The mines never amounted to very much so the mill was closed down after just a few years. This is another image scanned from a slide as part of my project to digitize my old photos.
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.

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.

I have had the Glade Creek Grist Mill in Babcock State Park on the list of structures I've wanted to photograph for a while. I put togethe a jigsaw puzzle of it when I was a boy. Even then, it was an old jigsaw puzzle my grandmother had, so it gives you an idea of how old this structure is. You have to go to West Virginia to see it and we were lucky enough to be there when the leaves were turning. We have been fortunate enough these past couple of years to be in really nice parts of the country to see fall colors. This image will have to find it's way to a wall in our home. Who knows, maybe I'll have a jigsaw puzzle made of it for us and others to enjoy. Photo by Steve Coyle Photography (www.stevecoylephotography.com)

Lyng mill was built as a flour mill in the early 1400s but over the centuries it was operated as both a flour mill and a paper mill. When the mill was rebuilt after being badly damaged during the riots of 1832, it was configured to run as both a flour mill and a paper mill using two cast iron wheels.
As operated prior to closure c.1868:
The flour mill was powered by a 6ft 9ins wide, 14ft 5ins diameter cast iron wheel. The cast iron pit wheel (described as new in 1868) was 9ft diameter, the wallower was also cast iron, the great spur wheel was 9ft 6ins in diameter and the crown wheel was 5ft 6ins diameter. Three pairs of 4ft 4ins French burr stones were set in line on the stone floor along with flour mills etc.
The paper mills were powered by a 8ft wide, 15ft 6ins diameter cast iron wheel. The 10ft diameter pit wheel had wooden cogs and ran two 11ft 7 ins by 5ft cast iron paper engines set in line along with other ancilliary machinery.
Whissendine Mill is a 6 storey mill built in 1809 by the Earl's of Harborough of Stapleford Park.
The mill worked until 1922 when it was damaged by a gale and not repaired.
It was sold to its present owner Nigel Moon in 2005 and has since had a new cap and 4 new sails. In 2009 the mill worked again by wind.
