Mill in Ballymacsradeen East, County Limerick

What is recorded here

The Mill in Ballymacsradeen East gives some windows red-brick finery and blocks others up altogether. Four storeys of rough limestone, and it still found room for a family row: ‘Your brother got a lovely surround.’ ‘I got masonry where my view was.’

Detached seven-bay four-storey mill, built c. 1880, with recent extensions to front (north) elevation, rear (south) elevation and abutting shed to west elevation. Pitched corrugated-iron roof. Roughly-dressed limestone walls with dressed quoins. Square-headed openings, some having red brick voussoirs or red brick block-and-start surrounds and limestone sills with replacement timber fittings, some blocked. Set back from road within yard.

The use of limestone, brick and corrugated-iron in the construction of this mill creates textural variation in its appearance.
