Mill History The Mill's origins are enveloped in mystery, its exact foundation date unknown. It is believed to have undergone significant renovations around 1766, concurrent with the construction of the adjacent Mill House. The earliest record of paper production at the Mill dates back to 1791, highlighted by a catalogue printed on paper from Prendergast Paper Mills, a cherished artifact held by the Pembrokeshire Society. At its peak, the Mill was a hive of industry, employing about 150 workers and spurring the development of Prendergast through the construction of homes for its workforce.
