Troserch Mill was built sometime between 1806 and the late 1810s, the Mill was built because the the Napoleonic Wars had artificially increased the price of corn at this time, making it a more attractive crop to grow, and the corn laws were introduced in 1815 to protect the farmers and growers by keeping that price high.
John Rees and his descendants were to occupy Troserch Mill for nearly 100 years, well into the 1940s. His son J.B. Rees became well known in Wales by his Bardic name of Morleisfab, or son of the Morlais. He was a founder of the Llanelli Cymmrodorion Society and the 1895 National Eisteddfod of Wales was greeted by an “ englyn “ from him. In 1910 he won the Crown at the National Eisteddfod held in Bethesda, North Wales, and went on to win prizes at four more National Eisteddfodau, held in Caernarfon, Colwyn Bay, Llangollen and Swansea, and also at an Eisteddfod held in London. The last family to occupy the mill were the Taylors who left in the mid 1960s.
