Place & story
Paper and wool near Glanmire
Sallybrook’s paper mills stood within Templeusque parish and belonged to James Hodnet in Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account. They employed about thirty people at the time, compared with seventy when fully working. Lewis described a similar gap at the Riverstown woollen manufacture: it could employ nearly two hundred people, but very few were then engaged. These were estimates of capacity alongside contemporary employment, rather than two full workforces operating together. Bleach-greens and spinning mills also formed part of the parish’s industrial landscape, alongside dairy farms supplying butter to the Cork market. [2]
