Here is a little bit of history I stole from Andy (sorry) who acquired it from Lenston (Cheers mate)
Out of the 5 mills situated in Talybont the mill was the only one built on the banks of the River Celuan. It is sometimes refereed to as Heron Mill. Built in 1847 by the Morris family it prominently produced flannel and cloth.
Although originally powered by a small waterwheel it was converted to run on electric during the 1920/30’s. The mill continued to operate till 1962 when, like so many other mills, it suffered from imported cotton prices. Attempts were made to pass the ownership over to the national trust but the then owners could not contribute to the cost of handing it over. Grade II* listed in 1997 the mill retains nearly all of its working machinery at closure.
For someone who usually has something happen everytime I go on an explore this one was pretty straight forward. Set beautifully on the river bank and considering it is literally 100 yards from a main road all I could hear was birds in the trees and water rushing down the river, really pretty and serene. Enough of that girly shit anyway.
This place was nice, I preferred Millie's Mill which I had visited earlier in the day but still it was packed full of nice bits to see, the machinery was still there, lots of tools and equipment and of course the textiles were there too. Some stuff I found that dated back a while aswell.
I spotted a beautiful metal baby crib in the loft but after realising this explore had been uneventful I decided not to walk across the floorboards, it would have been just my luck haha!
