1. Pant-yr-Ynn Mill stands at the foot of Manod Bach beside the waterfall at Bethania in Blaenau Ffestiniog. Built in 1846, it is the earliest surviving slate mill of Diffwys Casson Quarry, which pioneered the great slate industry of Blaenau Ffestiniog. After an interval as a school, it was converted into a woollen mill in 1881 by Jacob Jones & Son and worked until 1964 when it was closed down and the machinery scrapped. The original part of the building is preserved with its overhead line-shafting, and the 24ft diameter overshot waterwheel restored to working order.
