Carrigrohane Straight - Tail Race / Mill Stream Bridge
« on: Monday 24 April 17 18:03 BST (UK) »
Hello,

My ancestors owned a forge next to Carrigrohane Flour Mills in the 1870's up to 1881. I am trying to find the location for a while but could find nothing on it. Today I saw a wikipedia article which states the below: "The building of the Straight, and its extension on to Leemount Cross, which necessitated the building of two bridges – one over the tail race of Carrigrohane Flour Mills"

Would anyone more familiar with Carrigrohane have an address for this Bridge that they could send me? or a link on Google maps to the spot would do?

I found online today a photo from the Irish Examiner of the Ruins of the Mill taken in 1938, I don't know what year the ruins were pulled down and rebuilt on - see photo attached
