Converted windmill There must be dozens of old windmills across Anglesey, where wind is a feature, but fast flowing streams for water power are rare. This old mill was photographed by Nigel Williams in 2006 and Eric Jones in 2007, but since then the mill has been transformed into a desirable and unusual residence.
