Trefriw Wollen Mills Ltd Main Road Trefriw
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. Visitors to the Mill can see the weaving and hydro-electric turbines which generate electricity.

Inside Trefriw Wollen Mill
The earliest mill in Trefriw (a pandy or fulling mill) dates back to the 15th century. In 1820 a new pandy was built, this still carrying the faded name "Vale of Conwy Woollen Mill". By early in the 19th century the village had a water-powered fulling mill (replacing the former cottage industry which dated back centuries), but serious development of the industry began only after it was bought by Thomas Williams in 1859. It is still owned and run by the same family. The current roadside mill building, sited below the original buildings, was built in the 1970s. The water from the river is still used to wash the wool and drive the turbine which generates the electricity to power the machinery.
This photograph shows the water turbine that drives the generator.
