Worker's house in Slane, County Meath

What is recorded here

Worker's house in Slane sits high above the river and bridge, in a terrace thought to have housed mill workers. A lovely view, with one dreadful flaw: try saying the bridge held you up when your neighbours have watched you cross it.

Terrace of six two-bay two-storey stone houses, built c.1800. Limestone block-and-start window surrounds with limestone sills and some timber sash and replacement windows. Limestone block-and-start door surrounds, with limestone thresholds and replacement doors. Pitched slate roof with three yellow brick chimneystacks.

This terrace of houses may have been built at the end of the eighteenth century for the workers at the nearby mill. This terraced forms an interesting group of mill related structures, with the mill, mill house, gates and gate lodge. The terrace occupies an elevated site overlooking the river and Slane bridge.
