Castle Mill, Brecon

Castle Mill stands in Brecon, Powys, a castle or fort or tower whose name suggests grain, water and human labour. The facts do not say when it was built, who worked it or what it looked like, so much of its life must be imagined: a wheel turning, sacks lifted, a keeper watching the river. Even without those details, the name preserves the shape of the place and invites memory to complete it.
