Description

Llanmihangel Mill is a 3-storey mill built into the bank at the north end and adjoins a modernised farmhouse set at right angles to the south. Constructed of rubble sandstone, the east side is whitewashed, with a slate roof. The main range is orientated north-south, with a 2-storey wing extending west. The windows are 2-light casements with segmental stone heads. The east wall has three small windows to the top floor and four to the first floor; the leftmost window is larger and contains a late 20th-century window. The ground floor has one window with plain glazing and a doorway to the left. The west wall has one window to the top floor and one to the first floor, featuring a horizontal glazing bar. The west wing has a doorway with stable doors facing south into the yard, and a window in the west gable. A concrete stable block is attached to the west end. An open lean-to extends west from the side of the mill, facing the wing across the yard, and to its left is the jamb of a blocked doorway leading into the mill. The north end of the mill has a 2-light window, while the north side of the wing features two blocked ground-floor openings and a further blocked opening above and to the right.

A mill-race approaches the north end of the mill from the northeast in a stone-lined channel, turning at a right angle to enter the gable end under a segmental brick head. Water was fed to the top of the wheel at right angles to the wheel axis. The wheel is located within a stone-arched chamber below the gable end of the mill, which is open to the west, where the tailrace emerges. It is a pitchback type, constructed of wrought and cast iron with a timber shaft, by S F Kelly of Cardigan, and operated between 1870 and 1894.

The roof is built with bolted A-frame trusses in machine-cut timber and is likely a late 19th-century replacement. The attic floor retains a sack hoist pulley wheel and a grain bin. The first floor has three mill stones with vats clustered around a large central timber shaft carrying a spur wheel, made of iron with wooden gearing teeth; two small nuts drive from this. Belt drives and pulleys are fixed to the east and west walls. A wooden platform is located to the north. The top floor of the wing has a simple collar truss roof. The ground floor has a flagstone floor with wooden partitions across the north end and is said to contain remnants of a dresser.
