Exploring the New Manchester Mill Ruins Part 2

Walking through the old ruins of this Mill from the 1800s reminds me how long we have been using bricks and mortar for building such structures. Though many parts of the structure have unique stonework and techniques that may be long lost by crafters from many generations ago.

This huge block was used to run a water wheel on. Its probably a very hard rock and was brought to the location for that use. Amazing they made the top so smooth with old tools.

These holes were not caused by the Civil War, but by people that showed up afterwards. Our guide said it probably happened in the 1970s when people that lived around the area would come down to the mill and take shots at it with their guns for fun.

Plants were growing out of the many cracks in the brickwork. Making them separate and break down quicker than without them there.

Its amazing the walls still stand in many area, though they have been reinforced since the fire during the Civil War days.

Some old graffiti on the walls etched into the brickwork. The guide was saying that they suspect some of it was by Union or Confederate soldiers during the late 1800s.

Not sure if this was once a door to the outside, or a window. I think a door due to the rocks at the base of the structure.

Once where a large factory stood, now its formed a courtyard like feel without a roof over head.

I wonder how many more storms, floods and other natural occurrences these walls will stand up against.
