Place & story
Two mills near the bridge
Samuel Lewis recorded two flour mills near Glanworth bridge belonging to Messrs Murphy and Killeher in 1837. Together they produced an average of 10,000 barrels of fine flour annually. The figure belongs to the pair of mills in his description, rather than to each mill separately. No weight conversion or later woollen-mill identity is established by this account. [2]
A schoolhouse and chapel repairs
The late parish priest, the Reverend J. Killeher, left £100 divided equally between building a schoolhouse and repairing the chapel. Lewis’s account identifies the two intended purposes without supplying a school opening date or demonstrating any family connection between the priest and the mill proprietor. [2]
