Milford Mills and bridge over the River Barrow
Milford Mills and bridge over the River Barrow
A view of Milford Mills and bridge over the River Barrow from Mr. and Mrs Hall's Ireland c1840. The Mills were owned by the Alexander family and were built in 1790. There were two major fires on the property in 1862 and more recently in 1965. This sketch gives a good idea of the huge size of the buildings in this complex. This complex fell into disuse in the 20th century and apparently was partly occupied by a leather tanning operation until this was destroyed by the second fire in 1965. Apart from some external walls, nothing survives today of this complex.

Close-up of the flour mill in Cloghristick
Close-up of the flour mill in Cloghristick
Close up view of the flour mill in Cloghristick, County Carlow, located just upstream from the Milford Mills in Ballygowan. Cloghristick is a townland on the east side of the river Barrow. The flour mill in Cloghristick was also owned by the Alexander family. The Cloghristick building has not been used as a mill since the 19th century, although a local co-operative creamery apparently operated from it in the 1890s. The building was taken over around 1890 by an English company, Messrs TEH Gordon, who built an electricity generating plant in front of it to supply public lighting in Carlow Town. This was subsequently taken over by the Alexanders until being taken over by the ESB in 1928.
