Appraisal
A large number of functional structures were erected to provide services for the railway networks in Ireland, including warehouses, goods sheds and water towers. Such structures were considered important enough to warrant careful design and good quality materials were often used in their construction. This warehouse and the large associated flour store give an indication of the importance of the Clondulane Mills. These warehouses form an integral part of the group of railway structures at Clondulane, including the station and water tower.
