"[2] David Lewis erected Cambrian Mills on the site of a former small water-powered weaving workshop in 1902.

A workman on the top floor had a lucky escape when, having found his exit route blocked by flames and smoke, he climbed onto the roof and was rescued with the aid of a long ladder.

[5] The restoration work includes a glass roofed courtyard and a new gallery which displays aspects of the National Flat Textile collection.

As well as historic machinery, a raised walkway gives a view of textiles in production at Melin Teifi, the site's commercial woollen mill.

In 2005 a Research and Collections Centre opened which includes a room dedicated to hands-on learning opportunities.
