The factory at the River

This factory is known as Slane Mill, a very old flour mill.

Slane Mill stands on the north bank of the River Boyne, co. Meath, Ireland. The mill is a five storey cut stone building. When the mill was completed in 1766 it was the largest flour mill in Ireland. The water powered mill continued to be a flour mill until the 1870s when roller mills replaced grindstones. The mill was converted to scutch flax.
