Felin Newydd

Felin Newydd is a 2-storey mill built from roughly coursed local rubble, topped with a slate roof and featuring timber-framed hopper windows with a 3-pane over 2-pane configuration. The building showcases Tudor-style drip-moulds and chamfered lintels, particularly noticeable on the front gable end where the ground floor openings have continuous lintels. The central entrance is a boarded door, flanked by blocked windows, with an additional window located at the centre of the first floor. There is also a round-headed window at the apex of the gable, which is blocked. The symmetrical design of the main gabled front is mirrored in the three-window side elevations, each featuring central hipped-roofed single-storey porches. To the left side, there is a lower cross-range in front of the porch with a boarded gable. A ramp with low rubble parapet walls leads to a contemporary upper stable door with a pegged doorcase. The downhill gable end retains the iron frame of a backshot water wheel, which once had wooden paddles, and there is a slate path across the pit.

This mill is particularly notable for the completeness of its internal machinery. It contains two pairs of stones with timber hoppers on the stone floor, which flank a vertical shaft with a wooden toothed crown wheel. This shaft drives lay shafts that carry secondary drives and belt pulleys, including one for the sack-hoist. Another pulley operates a third nut that drives an oatmeal shaker. The front bay is partitioned off as an office by a boarded screen with a small-pane window. The original roof trusses feature diagonal struts, and there is a central timber staircase.

Additionally, various 19th century and early 20th century ledgers and account books are preserved in an upstairs cupboard.
