A view of Baltinglass weir in winter-a black and white image from across the river

The Weir in Winter

This view of Baltinglass Mill taken circa 1900, complete with mill wheel was one of a series of postcards produced by James McCann of Mill Street. The mill was originally built by the Cistercians who first came to the area in the twelfth century. It was partially burned during 1798. In time the mill passed into the ownership of one of the two Chandlee brothers. Edward Morrin of Crookstown, Ballitore took over the mill as tenant in 1888. His son Peter Morrin expanded the business, adding more grain stores down through the years.
