Mill in Moneymore, County Louth

What is recorded here

The Mill in Moneymore has had its business makeover, but steel tie bars still help hold those four storeys of stone together. There’s a building that understands formal occasions: look prosperous, stand straight, and trust the braces.

Attached seven-bay four-storey former mill formerly with integral carriage arch, built c. 1780, three-bay two-storey extension to north, c. 1800, renovated 2004, now in commercial use. Buildings arranged around internal courtyard to east. Pitched slate roof, stone verge coping to gables, replacement aluminium rainwater goods. Random rubble stone walling with modern tie bars. Square-headed window openings, tooled limestone surrounds, keystone and sills; red brick surrounds, stone sills and lintels to north extension; painted timber casement windows. Square-headed door opening, smooth rendered surround, painted timber panelled door; segmental-headed carriage arch, smooth rendered surround, mild steel gates, segmental-headed door and carriage arch to north extension, red brick arches, painted timber glazed and sheeted doors. Street fronted.

This former mill represents the industrial activity that was once located on the quays of Drogheda. Recently renovated, this building represents an important era in the history and development of Drogheda and continues to make a positive addition to the streetscape.
