Entrance to Rock Mill

On the brown sign it states 'Melin Wlan', Rock Mill, Woollen Mill. Interesting because this is the last remaining, water-powered, commercial Woollen Mill still working in Wales. The Mill was built in the 1890s by the great grandfather of the present owner and operator, Mr Donald Morgan. See: Link
