What is recorded here

Detached eleven-bay seven-storey rubble stone built former mill building, c. 1820, with segmental-headed openings and crenellated parapet. Converted to hydro-electric generation plant, c. 1891. Dismantled, pre-1990. Re-commissioned and extended c. 1990, with concrete block built turbine house added. Of historic interest on account of being the source of power to light Carlow town in 1891, the first inland town in either Ireland or Great Britain to be so lighted.
