Melin Llynon, Historic windmill in Tref Alaw, Great Britain.
The three-story windmill tower features masonry walls with rendered surfaces and contains three pairs of grinding stones for grain processing.
Built between 1775 and 1776 for Herbert Jones at a cost of £529, the mill operated continuously until a severe storm in 1918.
The windmill represents the agricultural traditions of Anglesey, where numerous mills once processed grain for local communities during the 19th century.
Visitors can observe milling demonstrations and learn about traditional grain processing methods through guided tours of the restored machinery.
Melin Llynon stands as the single operational windmill remaining on Anglesey, following extensive restoration work completed in 1983.
