PENYBONT MILL, Trelech, Carmarthenshire 2019
Notes on PENYBONT MILL, Trelech, Carmarthenshire 2019
I had seen a CADW report on this mill and knew back in 2012 that there were still machinery left inside and took a gamble and an hour’s drive and found it was all still in place including an iron pit wheel, stone-nut and pair of mill-stones – moss covered, heavy-looking, motionlessly stoic. The building itself was little to look at, a few high walls and smaller rooms adjoining but little detail, roofless, stone, mortar, moss. A rusty truck also sat sinking near to the entrance – this of course was photographed too – Penybont mill is a calming place, at least on my visit, just a hundred yards or so from the road but felt miles from anywhere. A fair hour was spent, viewpoints were sparse but I did what I could and appreciated the visit.
