Sadly, the woollen mill at Penmachno is no longer in operation,
said by locals to be a matter of modern safety standards and the proximity of
certain working parts to the stream. Many internet tourist sites seem to think
it is still operational. Sorry! The buildings still stand in a delightful
position by a bridge over the Machno River.
In the nineties it was operating as a factory and a sales outlet
as well as a historical site for tourists. One unusual feature was the dummy of
a man sitting on the old long drop toilet, which jutted out over the Machno
River.
