Description
Rhydlydan Mill is a 19th-century stone building with brick dressings and eaves courses, topped by a slate roof. It has two storeys and an attic. The ground floor features two doors and two windows, while the upper stone floor has three windows and one blocked window. The gable ends are timber framed and weatherboarded. At the rear, a cambered-headed window illuminates the wheel house.
The mill includes a funnel-type kiln with a brick substructure and perforated iron tiling in the loft. Inside the attic, there is a raised walkway between wooden bins and trapdoors. A wooden sack-hoist is located to the left, and the roof trusses have arched ties to allow passage underneath. Wooden steps lead down from the attic to the stone floor, which contains three sets of millstones, two of which are marked with the names E. Davies & Sons, Liverpool, and Kay & Hilton, Liverpool. The three pairs of stones are powered from above by wooden stone nuts and have hoppers above them. At the rear right of the stone floor, there is machinery for a flour dresser and a boulter. The driving machinery consists of an internal overshot iron wheel with wooden buckets, which are now missing, and an iron pit wheel. The ground floor has a wooden stair leading up to the stone floor and a doorway into the kiln, which can also be accessed from the stone floor.
