Place & story
Corn milling on River Street
The former Greene’s Mill on River Street in Cavan was built in 1846. The architectural survey records a two-storey corn mill beside a historic millrace, with openings arranged for moving grain and finished products through the building. It was adapted as a museum and coffee shop in 1995, when another mill building was moved and reconstructed beside it. The 2012 survey identified it as the survivor of five mills in the town. [2]
