Here is the second mill from our recent trip to Machynlleth. Ffatri Isaf, Abercegir. A fulling mill that closed in 1964. The large water powered wooden hammers beat cloth until the fibres knitted together. One of only two compete fulling mills left.
Dyma Felin Crewi, Penegoes, ger Machynlleth. Sefai melin yma ers yr 16ed ganrif. Stopiodd falu yn 1940. Fe gychwynodd eto yn 1985 ond yn awr mae yn lety gwylie.
