Other Mills on Anglesey

This site has a major section on the windmills of Anglesey, which are distinctive buildings on the horizon on Anglesey. However, a wide variety of other mills lie unnoticed around the landscape. A couple still have their water wheels, but many have been converted to dwellings or other uses. Many are derelict or have disappeared completely.

The list below gives all the mills on Anglesey that I'm aware of. Each is followed by the Ordnance Survey grid reference, linked to the 1899 Ordnance Survey map, where the mills are usually clearly marked. Note that you can see a modern map by changing the "Transparency of Overlay" setting in the lower left when viewing the map.

The grid reference is then followed by links to on-line descriptions of them, mostly in the Coflein and Archwilio online catalogues of archaeology, buildings, industrial and maritime heritage in Wales (produced by the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales and the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust)), as well as the Mills Archive Trust and Cadw Listed Buildings databases.

All the mills can be seen on this Google map. If you have Google Earth installed you can add the mills with this KMZ file.

This list is a work in progress, so I will be adding any new sites that might have been mills as I discover or am informed about them. If you have any suggestions let me know.

Please note that almost all of these mills are on private property, many turned into homes, are derelict or have been demolished. You will need permission of the landowners to go onto the land for a closer view.

I am grateful to the Gwynedd Archaeological Trust, who have kindly given me access to their database of Historic Environment Records of mills on Anglesey.
