Joe is correct, Lockport, NY area (Gasport actually) Known as the Royalton Mill. Here's an aerial photo.

Hey, that's pretty cool wolffbp!.....My freind that I dig with has distant relatives that were connected with that mill,....He lives right along the canal there in Gasport.....I was once in a large dump in Batavia, way back when I lived in the Java Center area...can't remember an awful lot about it, but I think I found a few good ones.

Just for fun,....First a painting of the same mill...

That must have been the "Doehler" dump, Joe. That was a good one! Big, deep and lot's of nice stuff. Ah, the good ol' days.

What's up with that? Cool painting too. Wolfbp, have you been to the museum up in Lockport? It looks like my kind of place. Do you know anything about the underground tunnels with Victorian trash in the area? Do you dig much?

Never been to the museum there. I don't live in western NY anymore. Only dug in Lockport once. Still dig as often as I can (which isn't nearly enough)
