The Pin Mill
Comments on this photo
The building was initially in Woodchester Gloucester where it was used as a pin mill, it was bought and moved brick by brick to Bodnant in 1938/9 it was rebuilt there, they then put in the lake to enhance the view, but to answer your question - I'm sorry Bloomer I don't know!
Thank you for liking Cinderella, Hywel and Drc :o)

Update: found the Bodnant Guide i bought 2 years ago and now have the info:- it was built as a garden house in 1730 then used as a pin mill - for the manufacture of pins!- later used as a tannery before falling into disrepair and being bought by 2nd Lord Aberconway for Bodnant. so simple really but I didn't remember!
