Appraisal
Although in a bad state of repair there are still some discernable features visible in this industrial building. The brickwork is in good condition and a credit those who produced and worked with it. A striking feature of the mill is the timber air vents on the roof, a reminder of air extraction techniques. Located near the centre of Tullamore, this structure is an integral part of the industrial heritage of Tullamore and a reflection of the economic prosperity which trade and commerce bought to country towns.
