A big fan of Jack Leigh’s work, I was amazed to find this water-powered mill still operational and virtually unchanged in appearance from the time he photographed it in the mid-1980s for his iconic The Ogeechee: A River and Its People (UGA Press, Athens, 1986). The original mill was built in 1872; it was relocated and built on this site across the river after flooding in 1932. It is still operational but open only once or twice a month, I believe.
Met a man that took pictures of Millmore bridge/mill. The pictures were awesome.
I wonder if it was the late Jack Leigh. His images inspired me to look for this place. He is one of my favorite photographers.
Jack Leigh. He was at UGA when I was there but I never knew him. Lost him way too soon.
