Lovely colour and interesting history.

Initially, it powered several sawmills and gristmills. Later many textile mills were constructed, but it became famous as a center of hat making, cut nails, horse carriages and automobile bodies. The Great Depression of the early '30s ended most of that... the mill buildings that survive have been developed into housing and office and small business buildings. <http://www.hemenway.com/Amesbury-R8-K200-03022008/> or: http://tinyurl.com/62d2af <http://www.hemenway.com/Amesbury-6008Pro-03022008/> or: http://tinyurl.com/6c4xwq It was a cold day and even though my photobuddy shot a few images with his 4x5, my 11x14 remained in my car.
