- Ormonde Woollen Mills
Down at the end of the canal stands the Kilkenny Woollen Mills on the banks of the Nore. These mills are very ancient. The history of them began with Kenny Scott & Co.
One time there were five hundred people working in the Mills. The mills are driven by anever failing water power. The mills are three storeys in height. They are equipped with the best of machinery.
Detached from the mills are large drying and dyeing houses. Blankets tweeds flannels and seges are made in those ancient mills.
