Gelligroes Mill

The Mill at Gelligroes in Pontllanfraith dates back to approximately 1625. There have been several improvements made including a water powered generator which was built in 1908 to provide electricity for the Mill and the house. A major restoration was made in 1993, and the mill now incorporates a candle making factory.

 

In 1912 Arthur (Artie) Moore an amateur radio enthusiast living at the Mill picked up the distress signal from the Titanic from this location.
