Rhydwern Mill

Rhydwern Mill is a former water-powered woollen factory built in 1895 by John Jenkins of Troedyrhiw. The building is a rectangular block with two storeys and seven bays, constructed from slate rubble. It features cambered brick heads above openings that mainly contain 12-pane lights with swivelling 3-pane uppers. The roof is pitched and slated, with cast iron rainwater goods.

The main facade displays yellow brick heads over the ground floor openings and red brick heads over the upper openings. The first bay on the left side of the ground floor has paired boarded timber doors, while the remaining bays have 12-pane lights with slate sills. The upper storey has identical 12-pane lights in all bays. There is a small truncated roof stack on the left gable and two small aluminium pipe stacks on the roof between the fourth and fifth bays, and the fifth and sixth bays.

The left gable end features a partly blocked gable window that retains a small, horizontal three-light design, along with a flight of stone steps ascending from the right to a first-floor doorway, which is sheltered by a modern lean-to roof supported by two timber posts. The upper doorway has a modern split-level door made of boarded, varnished timber with a glazed centre panel. The rear of the building has a boarded timber door with a slate step at the first bay on the left, and similar windows and sills in the remaining bays that match the facade.

An overshot waterwheel made of cast iron is located to the north of the mill. The upper floor has been converted for residential use.
