so my friend and i explored some abandoned buildings

[hodot]

Great work Hodot!  That's a mostly demolished building from the industrial revolution (grain mill like you say) It has the same power transportation like the other mills:  Rubber belts from ceiling-mounted axles.  Really good find there, good job.

Did you find any evidence of where the steam engine may have been, or is that unknown due to demolition?

oh sick! and we didn't really do any research into what the building actually was, we just figured it was a grain mill from the stuff we saw inside... didn't know there would have been a steam engine but my guess is that it was in the other building that we couldn't go into. there was an opening into it through a wood plank but we were tired and figured we'd go in next time we came around. good thing we got back to the car when we did.

It could very well be in the next building.  You were wise to leave it for another day, make sure you do go back (but find better parking next time lol)

These mills tend to follow a specific pattern, so I wouldn't be too concerned.  Do you know the name of the place it's in?  There may be documentation on the internet about it that could fill in the blanks.

yeah lol i'll probably come back with my friend sophie later, i really wanna get more pics and show the inside so i can get a good idea of what to build for a map of it. i pm'd you about the location

I read the pm, thank you.

I'll see if I can find anything on it.  By the way, was there anything else in this section:

So it was at ground level?  I ask because of the visible supports and mud.

I think it would have just been the storage room.

yeah that was under the building we didn't go into, bottom level

Coal is usually stored at ground level, and the furnace for the steam engine would usually be there.

But if Andy didn't find anything interesting (i.e. furnace) then that could mean that it was used for grain storage (nice cold place) or general supplies.  It could also mean that either the steam engine is much higher and has the furnace in the same room, or that the steam engine is not situated there and was dismantled.

I don't know.  I'll do some research on it tomorrow.

That's brilliant.  I've explored a few abandoned mills and mills that have been converted.  I'm thinking of buying out one of the mills, but I think it would be risky because it's on a flood plane right next to the river and it was recently damaged by a flood last year caused by a reservoir burst.  (I live near Manchester, which was the center of the industrial revolution)  It's a shame, because it's in such good condition and it's just begging to be restored.  It would be a shame to waste all of that money to poor reservoir management though.

Anyway, I've explored some places where steam engines have been restored.  I'll have to post the pictures I took.

Again, good work.  Get back to us when you can.
