Milling around in St Dogmaels


The water mill at St Dogmaels, Pembrokeshire, existed in the 1640s and may have been founded much earlier ...

by monks. The machinery fell silent in 1926, but in the 1970s Michael and Jane Hall began to restore it. They had to scour West Wales for parts, but their efforts were rewarded when the mill began to work again in 1981.
