11 The club had a great run to Ballyminane Mills Wholemeal Flour.
Owned by the Murphy family for almost 200 years, Ballyminane Mills was built around 1790. Ballyminane Mills was one of several local mills fed by the River Urrin, including the Davis Flour Mills in Enniscorthy. The mill was originally used as a or flax mill or ‘scutching’ mill. Like many other mills at the time, it was turned over for corn production in the 1830’s. Around this time, a second water wheel was installed to drive a sawmill. Over the years, the timber wheels have fallen into disrepair and have both been replaced. Both the sawmill and the grain mill are currently operational. The saw mill is powered by a water turbine, installed in 1949 to replace the old timber wheel. The grain mill was fitted with a new cast iron wheel in 1962 and is currently used to grind locally produced wheat. Ballyminane grain mill uses a traditional water wheel to power its operations. Water from the Urrin River is channelled into the mill race. It is released into the mill pond which feeds through the sluice gate and over the water wheel, causing it to turn. The water wheel then drives the mill engine and slowly grinds the wheat against the mill stone.
