What is recorded here
The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows a mill at the north end of Swords village. The corn mill marked on the first edition OS 6-inch map probably occupies the site. A painting by George Holmes c.1790 illustrates a mill wheel to the south of the bridge which is marked on cartographic sources as the Mill bridge. There is a weir at this point in the river. Photographs of a mill wheel and weir from c.1900 are in the National Library collections. A millrace runs along the west side of Swords Castle.
