  1. The Burnt Mills

    Share Share Post
    The Burnt Mills as they are called are situated on the bank of the Shournagh in the Parish of Inniscarra. These mills were once owned by a man named Gayer, and they were then known as Gayer's Mills.
    Flour and meal were manufactured there, and they gave employment to a good number of people. A little lower down another mill worked on the same lines, so that about sixty years ago, before they were accidently burned down, the vicinity of Gayer's Mills was a well populated area.
    Scores of Bowls in those days were "bound" from the Lower Mills to Ryan's Paper Mills which were also going at that time.
