Great photo. Took me a while to see the guys on the roof. Is that a black man on the far right of the group? Those water wheels are moving at a pretty good rate. I know it's a long exposure, but even so. My family were involved in the "http://www.offalyhistory.com/articles/83/1/Tanyard-Lane-Its-place-in-the-economic-history-of-Tullamore/Page1.html" target="_blank">brewing and distilling business in nearby Tullamore back in the 18th century. The Manlys were the predecessors of the Goodbodys and were in Tullamore from at least the 1740s. Members of the family are recalled in Thomas (Manly) Street and Henry (Manly) Street. I know they also owned a brewery in Moate, but can't find any other information. It's possible they also had involvement in Kilbeggan.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/eyelightfilms] No, it's not. He's holding what looks like a massive wrench type thing (technical term), so would imagine he was involved with engine maintenance, etc. And lovely that you can track family back to the 18th century!

I was just saying to myself that we have had some cracking photos over the past few weeks! (no comments needed on the topic of talking to yourself!)

On the 25" map, a paper mill. It's on the 1830s 6" map, too. A housing estate is being built there now called Drury Mills, others nearby are called Millrace Crescent, Gardens etc. Founded in the mid 17th century according to southdublinlibraries, and open until the 1970s.

southdublinhistory: For much of their history the mills were driven by a huge water wheel on the river Camac, at the upper mill; it was said to be the largest waterwheel in Ireland. Also: famous for their Ancient Irish Vellum and Erin brands I remember at least one Vellum brand, I wonder if it was this one? Finally: Apparently named after the former Dean of St Patrick’s, Jonathan Swift, in whose prebendary Saggart was located

I found an old pad in a drawer, and no - the Vellum I remember (and still have a few sheets of) was Fine Irish Vellum by Wiggins Teape on the East Wall.
