Llanbeulan Water Mill

Melin Treban Mill on the Isle of Anglesey (Ynys Môn) in North Wales.

Melin Treban Water Mill on Anglesey was a Corn Mill, powered by the water from the Afon Caradog River and is typical of what is left of many of the mills, with the existing buildings probably dating to around the mid 19th century. However, because of the structural damage caused by the extreme movement of the machinery, mills had to be rebuilt or strengthened at least every 100 years, therefore it is certain that a mill would have stood on this site for many years prior to that date. The mill has now been converted to a dwelling, and it would appear that the mill pond would have been where the garden is now.

Much of the stone from original buildings have collapsed into the mill race exit and in fact, the mill race would have been quite wider than it now appears.

The miller and his family did not live at the Mill, they lived in the miller’s cottage – also named Felin Treban – just a couple of hundred yards away, and tragedy was to follow.
