I worked in a paper mill for 25 years, it was built in 1891 and that building is as far as I know the only one still standing. We used water turbines as well for power and the river itself to supply water for steam. The turbines there are still in use generating electricity for the local hydro company.
i know of a post mils vermont they had a log and bobbin mill it was still in operation 1990s. it was dismantled in the 2000s.
The paper mill I worked at here in Minnesota we had the same exact method running the pulp beaters by water power. A canal was constructed in the 1800’s from the Mississippi River and went under the mill. It closed up in the 1990’s after going bankrupt. It’s now called Mill Park located in Little Falls, Mn. They left some of the remnants behind when they tore it down.
I ll look it up for next time I'm in Minnesota
Love this kind of history, the forgotten. ❤.. Terrific job Chris.
Thanks!
cool history. i have seen a berlin cast iron bridge in meriden ci in a park.
You always have great videos, Chris! I can't even begin to imagine being involved with the manual labor it took to cut out those big pieces of iron and get them safely loaded on trucks and hauled away!
It would have been interesting to be there and watch it all happen.
We will always support you. Seems like you genuinely love what you do.
Greetings from the ozark mountains! Arkansas side!❤
That was a incredible story thank you. Looking forward to the next story
I am an "anything mechanical" nut. I thoroughly loved this video, just like so many others you make. Thank you, Chris !
Amazing history of what we all take for granted…paper! Your insight and passion for such historical and spectacular doings is unmatched Chris.
Love this kind of stuff and you do it fabulously!💙🙏🏻💥Thanks Chris
Amazing how they salvaged repaired and used again after being left abandoned for so long. That’s proper recycling ♻️
One of my favourite vloggers, you always go to some interesting places ❤
Chris, you seem to manage to find the most interesting places and locate the stories behind them. It's too bad you can't travel back in time to film some of this stuff as it happens. God Bless and stay safe.
My home State.. glad you are here❤️
Just like in the 1981 movie Thief starring James Caan ,they used a burning bar to break into a safe. Good movie. Anyway, another great video from you! Keep up the great work! Take care.
The states of Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire include some of the most beautiful parts of the country. Thanks for posting and stay safe......
You go to the coolest places, stay safe dude.❤
Great story Chris!!!❤
Thats a great story Chris! 👍 I've been looking forward to this one-
Your videos are fascinating, and presenting style is spot on. I live in Scotland, have never been to the US, and can't get enough of your channel. I've followed you for a few years now and still look forward to your next video. Keep up the great work 👍
Thank you for showing us this piece of history
I'm loving the series ❤👍
Good to see that someone saved the turbines and that they were put back in operation someplace else
Thank you for a great story Chris!
Imagine living back then! And Working .there... it amazing how time flies! Everything changes so fast. Great story. 😊
*As soon as I saw that thumbnail I knew where this was! Love it when stuff about home pops up*
You are coming up with some interesting finds.
Welcome to New Hampshire. We have an abandoned Leather Board factory in Milton , NH.
Coolest place ever!!! Thanks
*HOME!* There was a video of a crew extracting the turbines30 years ago on CZcams somewhere, on the Internet somewhere. There used to be a hospital just across route 3. My pop remembers driving over the bridge before it was closed. Can you imagine driving that open deck with just a few flimsy pipe rails between you and the drop into Livermore Falls?!
Used to be a great place to swim when I was a kid, there's a nice little beach on the upper river side of the mill. Or at least there used to be. That's where the Playboy party pick photo shoot from the 80s took place.
Playboy's are a clue LoL same characters always lurking in the shadows. Bunnies from the rabbit hole.
Thoroughly enjoy all of your Explores and Stories..thanks for taking us along!
Very interesting!
Great video stay safe ❤
Love the history 💚💚💚 awesome find!
VERY COOL CHRIS,THANK YOU
I appreciate the adventures in every video. I've been a fan of the channel for a few years now.
I loved the bridge. My favorite. Thanks for all you do.
Man those termite cutting bars must have been something else to see. I used to wield in high school. I can’t imagine working with something 8,000 plus degrees hot!!! They couldn’t pay me enough to do that job.
Fascinating story, Chris! Thank you!
Thanks Chris. Quite interesting. 👍
Amazing place. Thanks so much for the video, I truly enjoyed this. Happy & safe journey Chris! 💜☮️
Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.
Very cool stuff Chris as well as the history.
That place is amazing. Great research too.
Imagine building that mill with the equipment they had at the time....that was truly an accomplishment. I think it's great these old turbines are still being used...even if not for their intended purpose.
Thank you, Chris❤
This Documentary is Excellent!. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Nice vid, Chris! My maternal grandfather (RIP 1968) worked at that mill for a time. Had I known you were passing through Cow Hampsha, I would've invited you for a beer!
Always looking forward to your videos Chris!
I've been there a few times, tons of fun swimming and rock jumping in that area, I actually remember swimming up the river to that paper mill from the public beach area to explore.
Great video, very interesting as always!!!
Very interesting video Chris. Keep them coming. 😊
Good stories!
I was so excited to see you uploaded this, am enjoying my vacation as you explore the hidden gems of many years ago , the 2 boys were crazy , looking forward to more of your trip 😊
Hugely interesting. Great video, thanks
Great history and great video
That's one of your best videos Chris, thank you.
Awesome
Wow, that was different! Crazy story! Good stuff Chris, you never disappoint! Happy Trails.
Thanks!
Loved it. Very interesting ❤
Great video, as always! Loved the history and photos. Keep up the good work.
Another great exploration 👍👏
Great video! It's an interesting look at what was once such an important business. Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting Chris. Thanks for sharing this history with us. Darn crazy kids jumping off that bridge.
Amazing history! Makes one wonder how they even built this mill back then!
I could just imagine the heat coming off those torches. Interesting vid!
Great video ! Thanks for all the interesting history !
Very interesting. Can't wait for your Maine videos.
Great story this is why I love your channel.
Great area. Portsmouth, kittery, Portland have tons of history. Stay at wentworth by the sea for a really unique experience. Albacore is a must too in Portsmouth. Great video as always 😀
That is so cool
Really interesting & great job putting this together...even got some sound effects with some of those stills! Keep up the fine work Chris
awesome videos, wish I could take the roadtrips you go on
Checking in from Grafton County NH! Great videos!
The was cool!!
I see a great renovation here for some type of park but would cost a lot of money
Definitely big bucks
Just found your channel recently and its become my new favorite! Keep up the great work!
Thanks! Glad you found me
Love history ♥️
Awesome video
Good video thanks 👍
Great video mate. Big fan from Australia.
It’s funny to see two blokes just casually remove those turbines with a dodgy crane and some old trucks! I hope they got some decent money for it.
Ps those kids were mad jumping off that bridge!
Your research, narration and videography are spectacular as usual. Why a fascinating story.
Thanks, Chris
Great stuff Chris!!! you have a great 4th of July big guy!!!
Subscribed, thanks!
I actually lived there years ago. Beautiful and magical places in Maine. Thanks for the content, fascinating as usual.
You misspelled _New Hampshire_
This is in Plymouth, almost at the town line with Campton, the gateway to the highlands of the northeast kingdom, just vote in the centre of the state.
Just to think how they were built back then is unbelievable and to go and cut them out ! Incredible , thanks for sharing and the site of those two kids jumping off the bridge into the water scary !!
Very interesting! Thank you so much! …..🌝
Interesting place and dr pepper is the best soda.
Neat ruins. Interesting history
Awesome! We have a shell of an 1800’s paper mill in Dundas, ON, Canada 🇨🇦, too. They are pretty cool.
Old fashion American ingenuity. I wonder where the turbines are now. Beautiful area. Thanks Chris
You're in my hood. So cool. There's lots of great places to explore in NH. Maybe I'll see ya around. Lol.
there is one established in 1922 down the road from me still in operation today Stonehouse Paper & Bag Mills Ltd its got some nice historic photos on the website if you want to see what they looked like on the inside its the other side of the pond tho
I wonder how they made out, when the books were all balanced. It's interesting that it would be more profitable to recover 80, 100 (?) year old technology than to purchase contemporary units.
But you've also got to imagine the mammoth task involved in installing them in the first place. I suppose that story has been lost to time, but it must have been a pretty hair raising sequence to lower those giants down into there (and to transport them to that location), especially considering the limitations of the equipment of the time.
Those turbines are actually very efficient. Not much has changed in the last 130 yrs they pretty much nailed the Francis Turbine back than. Alot of those 1890-1910 turbines are still in use hooked to better more efficient Generators and electronic control.
@@charlesdeilke8364 Appreciate your insight, thanks for the reply, very interesting!
Okay so you got me. Reading the comments made me have to subscribe! Now don't disappoint me sonny. I take this stuff seriously!
I keep thinking of Privy Pits at a lot of places you go. Gotta be bottle dumps. The grafilthy cracked me up. " Dopeless Hope Fiend" reminds me of someone I know
Back when I was a kid in the 80s there was a lot less ruin, and you could see the concrete floor clearly; there was a terrific gigantic re-creation of the Becks beer label in the middle. Plymouth State College was one of the party college picks for playboy magazine in the 80s, they used the very pleasant little beach where the intakes were that is now excavated as the setting for the photo shoot. 😃
Nothing is safe from taggers is it.
Nothing
It's literally the crumbling ruins of a long abandoned mill house. Some people will find any reason to bitch.
They defy gravity too.
It’s amazing how they get into the strangest and most dangerous places to graffiti.
@@apocyldoomer the harder the spot is to reach, the harder it is for another to tag over your work. It also adds to the impression of the piece. Graffiti, like any other art form, often goes unappreciated by Ludites.
You mentioned a second channel? Live these videos. Like to what else you have. Thanks
Maybe the way to go would have been to drill a lot of holes and also use a torch? I love hybrid solutions tbh
Also like that Dopeless Hope Fiend tag
i would've went there. :) Nice title too!
