This was originally the Ffrwd-wen woollen mill, powered by water from the mill dam 230 m to the west. The leet was culverted under the road just to the right of this view. In view of the fact that the mill is well above the dam, it must have been driven by a Pelton wheel below the road level. The river falls about 3 m between the dam and the bridge, and there were mills on both sides, relying on volume rather than fall for their power.
