Trefriw Woollen Mills is one of the few remaining mills of what was once an important Welsh industry. Originally a Pandy (fulling mill), it was situated on the fast running River Crafnant in order to use the water to drive the waterwheels and to wash the wool. The mill had been operating for over 30 years when it was bought by Thomas Williams in 1859. It is still owned and run by the same family.
