Information |
The pandy, or fulling mill, at Tregarth dates back to the 18th century. Fulling was a finishing process in the production of cloth in which woven cloth was cleansed, thickened and strengthened. This involved washing to remove dirt and grease and kneading with wooden hammers to mat together the wool fibres.

Nice bit of corrosion going on there.
You can’t beat a nice bit of bit of hydrated ferric oxide 😉
Really like the second photo 🙂 the DOF shows the details very well!

I visited the old mill at Tregarth in the late 50’s when my then great auntie Jane (Griffiths) lived there. Never been back but nice to see a picture or two.
