Pembrokeshire Mill

On a recent trip that ended up in a Gallery in St Davids, I found a book of gritty black and white photographs of Pembrokeshire taken by a local photographer, David Wilson. The photographs contained in the book are exactly the kind of images I would love to take – atmospheric landscapes and shots of old farms and deserted buildings. It’s a lovely book and it inspired me to do a bit of research to try and find some of these fabulous places. So far I haven’t been overly successful in locating the farmhouses, but I did discover an old Linen mill in Tal-y-Bont thanks to the web site of another photographer, Paul White (www.welshruins.co.uk).

I cant tell you just how much I loved visiting this factory, I was only disappointed by not being able to spend longer there – I could have spent hours soaking up the history, trying to fully capture the atmosphere. But I did manage to take a few shots while I was there.
