Description
A three-storey water-powered woollen mill, dating from about 1885. The mill closed about1913 and later became Tivyside Creamery (nprn 91730), acquiring a brick building with a concrete loading platform on its south-east side. The original mill is built of rubblestone with a pitched slate roof, and the windows have stone voussoirs. An overshot waterwheel, supplied by Thomas Jones, Priory Foundry, Carmarthen, remains in situ at the south-west end of the building.
