Little Mill (Welsh: Y Felin Fach) is a village in Monmouthshire, south east Wales, United Kingdom, in the community and ward of Goetre Fawr. It has a population of about 600.[1]
Location
Little Mill is located three miles north east of Pontypool, and three miles west of Usk.
History and amenities
The village derives its name from a
A472 trunk road. Today Little Mill is small and mostly contains Victorian cottages and villas and compact housing developments dating between the 1950s to the present. Half a mile north of the village is Ty Draw, a small residential community that was previously the local reformatory school
for boys from 1859 until it closed in 1922.
The village has minimal facilities, comprising a
Pontypool and New Inn and Cwmbran railway station. The village is in the catchment area for several schools including Usk primary and Goytre Fawr primary schools as well as several comprehensive schools including Caerleon Comprehensive School and King Henry VIII Comprehensive School
. Little Mill contains two parks which are known locally as the "pocket park" and "the big park".
During 2013-14 a high-density housing estate was built at the village's eastern edge which involved the demolition of The Sawmill residence in Little Mill,[3] and use of surrounding open areas.
