Philipstown Mill, near Dundalk.
Very impressive stone mill set in a series of yards, with ancillary buildings and two fine stone houses – obviously for owner / manager. The mill was burned in the 1860s and is reverting to nature but is still remarkably solid. All sorts of levels and mill race areas exist to be explored. Oh and one dead cow!
No, there are some very fine mills and grain stores out there. Largely untouched and sinking into dereliction until recently.
A lot of potential and just about enough space to keep books. Try the canals in rural Ireland for lots more.Sadly some of the more recent conversions are grim, pastic window jobs.
I hope you wiped your feet on the mat that saved Ireland from F&M after your encounter with a dead cow.
Its strange to think of these industrial structures which are dotted around the landscape of ireland.They are so many storeys high( seven or eight in the monaghan version shown here some even higher) and yet housing is still built at incredibly low densities around every irish town. They should be an example to current plannersand developers about a direction to explore for the future.
