What is recorded here
Whitebridge Sawmill cut Powis Estate timber beside Welshpool during the Post Medieval period. The site served the castle and local builders, turning raw trunk into usable board. Its exact layout has faded, but the name still points to a working yard where wood became structure.
The National Monuments Record of Wales records Whitebridge Sawmill, Welshpool; Powis Castle Sawmill; Powis Estate Timber Yard as Saw Mill from the Post Medieval period. The saved point comes from the official national record. Inclusion does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The Powis Castle Sawmill, part of the Powis Estate, was established in the Post Medieval period, likely under the ownership of the Clive family, who held Powis Castle from the 17th century. It is remembered as part of the estate's industrial and economic activities, reflecting the broader use of water-powered industry in Welsh landscapes during this era.
