the waterwheel rescue
irelands tallest water wheel that can still be turned with water

Lord O’Neill kindly gifted an old water wheel to Raceview Mill. 

It was around 150 years old and was in an old mill in MillTown village. The mill had suffered a fire and the roof had fallen in. 

The wood was burnt and rotten beyond repair but the cast iron elements were still recoverable. 

The recovery took two years.
