An Old Industry.
There is no bread as good for growing children as that made from wheaten flour; so it was a loss to Glin in more ways than one when the flour mill ceased to work.
About fourty-five years ago the mill, worked by water from a stream was in working order and owned by my great grand-father, Edward Dore. The miller was Pat Cusack, and afterwards his son had that work. But as there was no encouragement at that time (as there is now) to grow wheat the mill did not pay. No trade of it now remains.

Told by my mother - who remembers the mill in operation.
