Middle Mill (Welsh: Felinganol) is a small settlement on the River Solva in the parish of Whitchurch, Pembrokeshire, Wales, approximately 1 mile upstream from the coastal village of Solva.

Buildings and amenities

The settlement is centred on the water mill with its iron overshot millwheel.[1] A mill in this location appears on a 1760 map, though the current mill dates to 1781. It is Grade II listed.[1]

Bridge at the River Solva at Middle Mill

A three-arch stone road bridge crosses the river nearby, also Grade II listed and possibly dating back to the late 18th-century (one of its arches is over the mill leat).[2]

There is also a Baptist chapel, originating in the 18th-century, though the existing building dates from 1833.[3]

A commercial woollen mill is in operation in buildings behind the water mill, producing woven goods but currently specialising in making stair carpets.[4] It made a carpet for the Carmarthenshire residence of Charles, Prince of Wales.[4] Now called Solva Woollen Mill, it was originally opened in January 1907 and is the oldest working woollen mill in Pembrokeshire.[5]
