The flax or scutch mill had been abandoned prior to the Second World War and the building had become a total ruin, with only some walls partially standing. The mill building and wheel were restored in 2007 using the original stone from the building, reclaimed local Bangor blue slates, an authentic 18 foot diameter wheel and some quality workmanship from local trades people. Following extensive research, a cross flow turbine (pictured) was installed in the summer of 2008.

Demonstration Site

We understand that those new to Hydro Electricty may find it hard to visualise a complete and running site.

You are welcome to attend any of our Open Days throughout the year. This may prove beneficial if you are considering Hydropower or are already developing a site and need additional information.

Our Open Days are structured so that they are as informative as possible with plenty of opportunities to speak to one of our Hydro Electricity experts.
