Kathy's bedroom wall

This is a collection of photos and archive material from a house / forge in Kanturk in the north of County Cork, Ireland. When I came across the house in 2004 it was up for sale along with the neighbouring property. This building you see here had been vacant since the late 70s / early 80s, when the last member of the family, Kathy ended up in a home where she spent her last days.

The Conveyor

A long conveyor stretches down both sides.

Gravity is the miller's partner. The grain is initially carried upward to the top of the structure, then passes back through the works by gravity. The entire mill process is connected from beginning to end

 ... Boland Mills is located in the heart of Dublin, Ireland. Production ceased at the mill in 2001. Bolands Mills not only dominated the skyline at Ringsend area (Dublin 4) but also played a major role in the industrial, commercial and social life of the area. Sadly, Bolands Mills and nearby Dock Milling no longer provide employment for the countless generations of workers from Ringsend and the Pearse Street area. The Bolands Mills site was sold for Euro 42m in 2004 and was to be redeveloped for apartments and offices. The area is right next to the office buildings of Google's European Headquarters.
