Outside the House Mill, Three Mills Island. Grain was brought in through the door in the center, and the sacks were hauled up by rope to the floors above.

Grain came down from the floor above through wooden chutes into the grist mills. Because the grain dust is highly flammable, all the moving pieces of the machinery in the mill were made of wood (metal parts would have caused sparks). The squatters thought these things were worthless and left them in the mill.

The top floor of the House Mill. Sacks of grain were hoisted up to this level. We had a great tour of the mill from bottom to top and back down again. Our docent Tony was fabulous.

Restoration on the House Mill began in 1989, using 18th century brick to restore the bomb damage to the 1776 facade. www.housemill.org.uk/trust_history.html

The facade of the House Mill sustained bomb damage during the blitz. It was later a squat for many years, and the squatters took away anything they could sell. Fortunately, the millstones and various wooden parts of the machinery were either too big to carry away or had no value as scrap, so the squatters left them behind.

The House Mill is Grade I listed and dates from 1776. It is the largest tidal mill in the world (the tide on the River Lee turned huge water wheels beneath the mill). It was in operation as a grain mill until 1941. www.housemill.org.uk/history_housemill.html

I'm not totally happy with either the b&w or color version. I'll have to come back and try again next time I'm in San Antonio -- I think early morning light might be best, and a more dramatic sky would look cool. See where this picture was taken. [?]

There's a row of 16 or 18 of these silos (check out the link below to the satellite map), near an old flour factory and a brewery, and right next to the railroad tracks. I'm not sure which factory used them, and for what. View On Black See where this picture was taken. [?]
