Melin Sguthan Windmill (Union Mill)

Melin Sguthan windmill is one of 3 mills in Gaerwen on Anglesey. This mill is situated in between Melin MaenGwyn and Melin Berw. Unfortunately due to poor record keeping, we are not sure when this mill was built, but the name Gaerwen mill on early OS maps and documents from local estates would indicate that this mill pre dates its neighbouring mill Melin Maengwyn to the south east.

According to the excellent book on Anglesey Windmills, “Windmills of Anglesey” by Barry Guise and George Lees it is thought that the ownership of the mill passed into the hands of an association of Manchester people, hence the name Union Mill.
