Couldn't find any other reports so thought id chuck this up.

Spotted it whilst driving home, only had my mobile with me but if its open sometimes you gotta take the opportunity and make the most out of what you got.

Foelas corn mill, Pentrefoelas, is a stone building of two storeys with an iron overshot wheel on its east side, fed by a timber launder from the millpond to the north of the mill. Inside there are three pairs of mill stones with hoppers and shoes, etc. The mill was reputedly rebuilt in 1815 by Morus Llwyd. It was restored to working order in 1985-88, and is complete and operational (in 1993).

Nice, any idea what the status of this is - maybe someone's pet project, or former/future tourist attraction?

Cool, nice spot. The phone pics are pretty decent, good infact. Last pic those are French chairs I believe. Would be a shame if this place got smashed up though
