Place & story
Milling and a school site
The Yeomanstown mills on the Liffey could manufacture between six thousand and seven thousand barrels of flour annually, according to Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Carragh parish. This was stated capacity, rather than a return of flour actually produced in a particular year. Lewis also recorded a schoolhouse built by subscription on land supplied by A. Mansfield. Connected with the National Board, the school taught about one hundred and twenty boys and ninety girls. The contribution of a site was distinct from the subscriptions for the building; the account does not identify Mansfield as paying its entire cost. [2]
