High resolution images and the history of the Internal Machinery and Water Mill named Felin Cafnan (previously named Melin Cathaern) on Anglesey in North Wales

Cemlyn - The Internal Machinery in Felin Cafnan Water Mill - (once known as Melin Cathaern) on the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) in North Wales.

Cemlyn, Felin Cafnan Water Mill, Internal Machinery.

I am indebted to Mr. John Byast for the images of the internal machinery at Felin Cafnan Water Mill. As the mill is not open to the public it was impossible for me to take my own pictures.

The Mill is owned by the National Trust, and hopefully because of the virtually intact internal workings of this mill they will one day restore it to its' previous glory, and open it to the public. I suspect the main reason it has not been done so far - notwithstanding having to raise the money - is that access to this remote location would be problematic.

I am not going to attempt to identify the various pieces of machinery in the Mill, suffice to say that there are shafts, cogs, pulleys and wheels, altogether making this one of the most substantially complete Water Mills on Anglesey
