Hi
Would anyone know if Esgaer Moel Isaf Farm Llanwrtyd wells is still there .The Winston family owned the farm in the 1800s they also owned the Woollen Mill close by. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

       I have had a look on the ordinance survey map and there is an Esgaer Moel still there but in the earlier census there was an Esgaer Moel Isaf and Esgaer Moel Ganol.This one is on the back road from Llanwrtyd to Llangammarch.When i go i will take a photo of it for you if its possible and find out with my older relatives,ones 91,if its the right one.

Hi,
The Esgair Moel woollen mill is now a working mill in St Fagans Folk Museum, near Cardiff.
http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/stfagans/ .
It was donated by a Jones relative of mine who lived in Esgair moel, during the 20th century. It was taken down stone by stone and re erected at St Fagans in 1951 when the Folk Museum was started. This link will show you a picture of it

All the best

Hi Cochiaid
Thanks for your info on The Esgair Moel woollen mill .I had be in Esgair Moel woollen mill at St Fagans years ago, but at that time I didn’t know it belonged to my ancestor Richard Rhys Winston.

Hi,

Yes, I know from censuses etc that your winstons were there. I still have blankets which were made probably in the 19th century, at the mill, for my great grandmother.
