The historic Welsh woollen mill frozen in time that one man is trying to bring back to life

There is something Willy Wonka-esque about Daniel Harris as he rushes around a crumbling mill in the heart of the Carmarthenshire countryside with a giant grin on his face and a yellow woolly hat perched askew on his head.

He talks excitedly, lurching from one thing to the next, as he explains how he wants to turn this relic of the past into a weaving-themed attraction which he's calling Loom Land for now. He knows he has one hell of a job on his hands having bought one of just seven working woollen mills that remain in Wales, but he is far from daunted.

"Imagine with me, if you can, a weaving based theme park," he says. "A massive, fully functioning cloth mill encompassing the entire history of mechanised weaving from the 1870s onwards."
