Can you help us identify these archive photos of watermill sites? Unfortunately, many of these are left unidentified or misidentified for various reasons. We need some keen eyes to help us put names and locations to these mill sites.
Last month we published a selection of unidentified Welsh mill photos for you to help us identify. Several of you came back with some names, so thank you for your help. This month’s theme is watermill sites in the E M Gardner Collection. You can click on each image to view its catalogue entry, and you can see more unidentified watermill sites in the E M Gardner Collection here.
