Want to explore the historic mills of Anglesey? I've just updated my Google Map of Anglesey Windmills, adding corn watermills, fulling and woollen mills, tidal mills and industrial/farming mills. You can see the list of mills at https://www.anglesey-history.co.uk/other-mills/ and the map of them at https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1MWpXARhESfLh_Q3l4Moe7uYZ-w8&hl=en&usp=sharing
