It is the heritage and durability which sets Welsh Slate roofing tiles apart from other roofing slates, this is derived from its density and the unique geological formation found exclusively in North Wales.

It was built at the end of 19th Century by master-builders Pyrch Mykhailo Mykhailovych and Pyrch Fedir Mykhailovych and re-built in 1946. After Prykarpattia’s joining to the Soviet Ukraine, the mill became the property of a local collective farm. It was used for its intended purpose. In 1960th, after a water flood it didn’t function till 1970th, when transferred to the Museum. The mill stayed on a bank of a torrent, flowing out of Shypit water flow.
The building has a double-room log construction. It consists of a “shack” to shelter the visiting farmers and a mill itself with mechanism. It has two waterwheels and two pairs of stones – grinding plates.
The flouring mill is built of smereka wood. Its high roof is covered by combination of straw and wood. It is the only showpiece of the museum with such combination of roofing techniques.
To grind corn, water should be forwarded to the walls. For this purpose, the stream has been dammed up by smereka timbers. Water taken from the torrent passed by hollowed-up logs to the upper wheels; they turned the axles with wheels – gears, and they tuned a shaft and the upper stone. Grains had to be loaded into a hopper fixed above, and flour fell into a through, fixed under the lower stone.
Total area of the building is 62.7 square meters.
Млин із села Пилипець, Міжгірського району, Закарпатської області.
Збудований наприкінці ХІХ ст. Майстри-будівничі - Пирч Михайло Михайлович і Пирч Федір Михайлович. В 1946 році його перебудували. Після приєднання Закарпаття до радянської України млин став власністю колгоспу, використовувався за призначенням. В 1960-х роках після повені млин не функціонував до 1970-х років, коли його перевезли до Музею. Млин стояв на березі стрімкого потоку, що витікає з водопаду Шипіт.
Споруда має двокамерну зрубну конструкцію і складається з «хижі» - приміщення, де жили і відпочивали приїжджі селяни, і млина з механізмом. Він має два водяних колеса і дві пари каменів – жорен.
Млин збудований із смерекового дерева. Високий дах комбінований, покритий соломою і деревом. В музеї це єдиний експонат, де поєднано різні матеріали та покрівельні техніки.
Щоб перемолоти збіжжя, треба було спрямувати воду на колеса. Для цього потік перегороджувався гаттю із смерекових колод. Воду з потоку подавали довбаними колодами до верхніх коліс, які обертали вали із закріпленими на них колесами – шестернями, а вони обертали веретено і верхній камінь. Зерно засипали в кіш, що кріпиться зверху, а борошно сиплеться в корито, яке закріплене внизу нижнього каменю.
Загальна площа споруди – 62,7 кв.м.

During the early stages of the pandemic, carload traffic was dropping, especially on last mile segments. On the NS Dayton District, there was still product to be moved at a few major industries. NS L12 works one of their regular customers off the Dayton District at Atlas Roofing near Franklin, OH. The crew is busy shuffling covered hoppers in the industrial tracks before heading north towards Springfield.

St Cuthbert’s Church stands prominently on Shibdon Road, Blaydon‑on‑Tyne, serving as the parish church for Blaydon and Stella since the mid‑19th century. It is a Grade II listed building, recognised for its architectural and historic significance. Built during a period of rapid industrial growth, it became a spiritual anchor for miners, ironworkers, railwaymen, and families across Blaydon, Winlaton, and Stella.
Foundation & Early Parish History (1844–1866)
The site for St Cuthbert’s was donated by T. W. Beaumont Esq., a major local landowner. The church opened for public worship on 24 November 1844, led by Rector Wardell of Winlaton.
In August 1844, the new parish of St Cuthbert, Stella was formally created. It included:
The entire township of Stella
Part of Winlaton
The growing industrial settlement of Blaydon
The first incumbent was Revd. William Brown, M.A., who served from the parish’s formation until his death in 1876. The benefice became a rectory in 1866, with Brown as the first Rector.
Architectural Development (1844–1900)
Original Construction (1844–45)
The church was designed by G. Pickering in Early English Gothic style, using snecked sandstone with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. The original layout included:
Nave
Chancel
North aisle
Vestries
This style was typical of mid‑Victorian Anglican churches, but St Cuthbert’s is noted for being better detailed than most Early English churches of its date.
Major Extensions (1860–1869)
Chancel (1860–62) designed by J. E. Watson
Tower (1862–63) added shortly afterwards
Restoration & re‑roofing (1882)
The tower is one of the church’s most striking features, with:
Battlements
Corner and side spirelets
Gargoyles
A clock set in a round stone surround
Quatrefoil bands
These additions doubled the seating capacity and transformed the church into one of the most distinctive ecclesiastical buildings in Blaydon.
Interior Features & Memorials
The interior reflects both Victorian craftsmanship and the parish’s social history:
Round piers supporting a 4‑bay nave arcade
Arch‑braced roof on carved floral corbels
Stained glass (c.1869) by H. M. Barnett of Newcastle
Frosterley marble steps and terrazzo flooring in the chancel
Chancel screen (1899) commemorating Revd. M. Green
Richly carved oak pulpit (1902) marking the end of the South African War and the Coronation of Edward VII
Boer War brass tablet
First World War memorial font
Second World War memorial tablet
These memorials reflect Blaydon’s contribution to national service and the church’s role as a centre of remembrance.
