Talgarth Mill

Water operated mill, early-mid C19. Rubble stone building of 3 floors with a stone slated roof. The gable end has double access doors to the lower bin floor, similar doors to the first, the stone floor, and a 2-light casement window lighting the top "hopper" floor. On the S end, an external overshot water wheel with an iron shaft and connecting hub for 5 radial timber spokes connecting to the outer iron ring holding the iron bound rim buckets. Above the wheel, a timber plank box containing a rod-operated sluice controlling the flow of water emerging from the 40cm diameter iron delivery pipe. The pipe drew water from beyond two sluice gates further upstream, and runs at a slight fall parallel to the river, turning into the head box.

No machinery survives.
