Thornford House, store or warehouse in County Monaghan

What is recorded here

Detached four-bay three-storey grain store, built c. 1820, part of former corn and flax mill. No roof. Gabled walls, red brick eaves course. Rubble stone walls, portion of wall to front (south) elevation missing. Red brick segmental-headed openings. Standing on roadside at entrance to former mill complex, having dressed stone gate piers abutting west gable. Ruinous rubble stone linear structure to west.

This substantial stone grain store has a striking presence in its rural setting. Its rubble stone walls, red brick detailing and simple form are typical of mill structures. Mills were vital structures in Irish society and important for the economic life of local communities. This provides a physical reminder of their role and the industrial legacy of County Monaghan.
