Adelaide Memorial Church, Myshall, Co Carlow
The Adelaide Memorial Church of Christ the Redeemer is situated near the village of Myshall, Bagenalstown, Co. Carlow. The architect was George Coppinger Ashlin. The Church was designed in the style of Salisbury Cathedral with one tower and spire. It is built mostly of limestone and some local granite. It was erected circa 1903 in an ornate gothic revival style. There is richly carved detail on the extension including a frieze and the tower has a balustraded parapet. The interior is ornately decorated with black marble steps from Galway and red granite pillars from Aberdeen. The design of the floor in the chancel is based on St. Mark’s Venice. The interior also features decorations in mosaic and mother of pearl. It was built in memory of Constance Duguid who died tragically in 1880’s at the time of her engagement to the heir of the Cornwall-Brady estate of Myshall. It also commemorates her mother who died later. The Adelaide Memorial Church can be visited today in its original glory.

Warehouse at Mill Lane , Birr
Milling was an important employer in the town throughout the nineteenth century. There were two mills in the town, and one on the outskirts at Elmgrove . All used the water of the Camcor to drain their mill wheels. The larger of the three located on Brendan Street had its own mill race constructed. This mill thrived in the early part of the nineteenth century but declined in the later part due to competition from America. Associated with this mill are the warehouses of Mill Lane
