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.
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.
The ninth photograph features the watermill of the village of Erbistock situated along the bank of the River Dee in the Welsh county of Flintshire. There was clearly a degree of uncertainty on Gardner's part as to whether Erbistock mill was situated in English Cheshire or Welsh Flintshire as she has written "Erbistock Mill, River Dee. Cheshire or Flintshire." Gardner has recorded the name of the miller of Erbistock mill as "Mr John Rogues" and the fact that the mill was operational. However, Gardner has not written the date of production.
The tenth photograph features the watermill of the village of Rossett in the county of Flintshire. As Gardner notes on the back of the image, Rossett is located near to the city of Chester. Gardner has not written the date of production.
The fourteenth photograph features a watermill in Welshpool. The name of the mill is unclear as Gardner's handwriting is difficult to decipher. It appears to say "Pnuali Mill". Gardner has written a note of "Water Carrier gone" on the back of the photograph.
