Watermills of England and Wales

This Sub - Series is comprised of 88 photographs of a wide range of watermills located across the length and breadth of England and Wales. The photographs have been arranged into the alphabetical order of the respective name of the county in which they are located.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Unidentified Mill, Wales

The first item is a photograph featuring the so called "Little Mill" of a Welsh farmyard; the location of which is unidentified. Gardner has written a handwritten note on the back of the photograph which reads " a private water wheel in a Welsh farm yard - at work until a year ago when its water trough was destroyed in a storm." The photograph is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Unidentified Mill in Merionethshire

The one hundred and twenty first item is a photograph of a mill in the historic county of Merionethshire (modern day Gwynedd); the precise location of which and name are unidentified. The item is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Carew Mill

The eightieth photograph is of the tide mill at the village of Carew in Milford Haven. The village of Carew is situated in the Naberth region of Pembrokeshire and is 7km east of Pembroke. The image is undated. The photographer was Arthur Williamson of Haverford West in Pembrokeshire and subject to copyright. For this reason, the photograph has not been added as a Digital Object file. The reference number given for this photograph is 5020/ 3.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Nant - Y - Coy Mill

The eighty third image is a photograph of Nant - Y - Coy Mill just outside the small village of Treffgarne in Pembrokeshire. The photographic print is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Old Factory, Montgomeryshire

The thirty seventh item is a photograph featuring an unidentified factory, simply described as "The Old Factory" in the county of Montgomeryshire. The photograph is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Mill, Rhydybenllyg

The sixty seventh item is a photograph of a mill which is entitled "Rhydebedog". The identification of the precise location of this mill from this information has proved to be a somewhat difficult task. Nevertheless, it has become apparent through consulting the photographs of the Frank Gregory collection that this is Rhydbenllyg mill. When comparing the photographs of both collections, it is clear that this is the same mill. Therefore, one would imagine that "Rhydebedog" is an alternative version of the place name "Rhyd y benlog"; the title used for the previous photograph which clearly features the same mill. Rhyd y benlog or Rhydbenllyg is the name of a great valley and ford in Snowdonia ; at the heart of which this mill is situated. The photograph is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Llewyn Watermill

The seventy third item is the first photograph featuring Llewyn watermill near the town of Dolgellau (Dolgelley) in the historic county of Merionethshire (modern day Gwynedd). The photograph is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Unidentified Mill in Merionethshire

Like the preceding photograph, the one hundred and twenty second item is a photograph of a mill in the historic county of Merionethshire (modern day Gwynedd); the precise location of which and name are unidentified. Once again, the item is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Aber Mill, Abertridwr

The fourth item is the fourth photograph of Aber mill, the watermill of the village of Abertridwr. The village is situated in the county borough of Caerphilly. The photograph is undated.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Watermills of Anglesey and Caenarvon

This Sub - Series is comprised of seventy four photographs which are mainly of watermills situated in the Welsh historic counties of Anglesey , Caenarvon and Montgomeryshire. There are also photographs of watermills from the other Welsh counties. The majority of the photographs have been arranged by the alphabetical order of the name of the mill. However, in the case of the mills situated in the historic county of Montgomeryshire, the decision was made to place the photographs of these mills together under the letter "M" for "Montgomeryshire". This is an attempt to recognise and respect the fact that it was Gardner's wish for these photographs to remain together in sequence. Gardner grouped these photographs together and on the back of each photograph she provided the heading of "Mont", an abbreviation of "Montgomeryshire", for this purpose.

Gardner, Emilie Montgomery (1882-1959)

Carew Mill

The eighty first item is the second photograph of the tide mill at the village of Carew in Milford Haven. The village of Carew is situated in the Naberth region of Pembrokeshire and is 7km east of Pembroke. The image is undated. There is an imprint on the back informing us that this photograph is subject to the copyright of Western Mail and Echo Limited, Cardiff. For this reason, the image has not been added as a Digital Object file.

Files of handwritten notes on watermills

E. M. Gardner produced an extensive and expansive catalogue of handwritten notes relating to an array of watermills throughout England and Wales between the years 1947 and 1955. The handwritten notes of Gardner are arranged clearly by county in alphabetical order commencing with Cambridgeshire. Gardner's notes record details of the geographical locations, visual descriptions of the buildings and the extent to which the buildings had survived the test of time as well as the names of the present and past millers. All of E. M. Gardner's notes have been collated and amassed together having been separated from the notebooks of inventories, index cards, photographs and postcards which also comprise the E. M. Gardner collection. There are some newspaper cuttings which Gardner collected herself. The decision has been made to include and incorporate these newspaper cuttings with the handwritten notes for the relevant and at the same time interesting and valuable information that they impart.

Farm Mill near Dyffryn

The eleventh photograph features a watermill referred to by Gardner in this instance as "Farm Mill Near Harlech." However, this is clearly the same watermill as featured in the twelfth photograph of this Sub - Series which is described by Gardner as "Farm Mill Near Dyffryn, Merioneth". Of course, there are a number of places in Wales called Dyffryn. The Dyffryn in question appears to be Dyffryn Ardudwy of the ancient county of Gwynedd which is not only situated near Harlech but also relatively close to the Gwynedd and Merionethshire border.
