This is a small clip box, with room for small swaps - This cache is the second of a set of seven on the Magical Mystery Tour.
Come and join us on a magical mystery tour, around some of the smaller villages in Pembrokeshire which you maybe did not know existed. This set of seven cache and dashes can be started from either the outskirts of Narbeth or from Tavernspite. The caches have been placed to ready for The 2012 South Wales Event. Please note the lanes can be quite narrow in places. Hope you don’t get lost, on the way around, but that is how I found some of the places!
Llanmill (properly Lanmill) used to be a leading centre of the woollen business. In 1770, a fulling mill owned by Penlan farm stood just to the southwest of Llanmill House. Another fulling mill, also powered by a leat from the Gwyddno, belonged to Dyffryn Farm. A third mill, the Factory, was built near Venterin.
William Humphreys acquired the Llanmill business around 1860. In 1876 he leased Dyffryn Mill and rebuilt it on three floors. Power came first from a waterwheel, but by 1898 a steam engine had taken over. William built the Street - Brynvale - to house some of his staff. His son, David, introduced the new synthetic dyes and other up-to-date technology. Cloth woven here won international prizes, but the business could not weather the depression between the wars and it closed down.
