Afon Teifi and the surviving part of Allt-y-cafn Mills, Pentre Cwrt These mills were developed from the 1860s by John Lloyd Davies. (Information from 'The Buildings of Wales') On the 1889 1:2500 map this was the only building shown, captioned 'Allt-y-cafn Factory (Woollen)' It is being renovated, presumably for housing.  The line across the river is a weir, which surprisingly is not shown on the 1889 map but is on the 1906 edition, on which the building has become 'Alltcavan Mills (Woollen)'.
