Place & story
Milling beside the Tar
Writing in 1837, Samuel Lewis recorded a recently built flour mill at Castle-Grace in Tullaghorton parish. Established by Sam. Grubb of Clogheen, it employed between thirty and forty people; Lewis gave an estimated construction cost of £6,000. The parish lay along the River Tar and the Clonmel–Cork coach road, with much of its land cultivated. Local limestone supplied building and agricultural uses, while peat was cut on the mountain. [2]
