The millers at Melin Treban Water Mill did not actually live at the mill, but in the above cottage a couple of hundred yards away. To get from the millers cottage to the mill was just a short walk up the road and across the bridge that spanned the Afon Caradog River.

On the 1881 census, Thomas Owen aged 43 - and born in Rhoscolyn - was the Miller. He and his wife Letitia aged 39 - born in Bodedern - had one son, also named Thomas and in 1881 aged 15. Yet a third Thomas Owen also lived there, and together with three servants ran the farm.

The above picture which was taken in about 1900, shows Thomas Owen senior then aged 62, and his son Thomas, then aged about 34, and stood with his wife Elizabeth Owen.

In the above picture, taken sometime about 1920, Thomas Owen (junior) is now aged about 54. Sadly, it was not too long afterwards that Thomas would cross the bridge over the river for the last time, as he took his own life in the nearby mill. Elizabeth would later marry again.
