Place & story
A mill recorded as a house
Barclay Clibborn held a large flour mill at Twomilebridge in the mid-nineteenth century. The University of Galway’s estate history records his proposed name, Anner Mill Flour Factory, in the Kilgrant Ordnance Survey Name Books. It also notes a change between maps: one building labelled Anner Mills on the first-edition survey appears as Anner House on the 1890s twenty-five-inch map. The changed label does not, by itself, date the end of milling. [2]
