Place & story
Mills, brewing and cargoes
In 1837 Samuel Lewis described Tallow as a centre for grain trading, flour milling and brewing. The Hannan mills, built in 1822, used a stream flowing into the Bride; Anthony and Terry had established an ale and porter brewery in 1835. River craft connected the district with Youghal through the Blackwater. Lewis recorded coal, culm and timber unloaded at Janeville quay, and grain loaded at Tallow bridge quay, showing the different cargoes moving through the local waterway. [2]
