Greenvale Farm, Lisnagalliagh
Greenvale Farm, Lisnagalliagh
A view of Greenvale land from ‘Ten Acre Field’ looking eastward across ‘Nine Acre’ with its herd of cows, the ‘Byre Meadow’ beyond, and down to the mill stream in the valley which forms the eastern boundary of the farm. Two hundred years ago, with water from H6813 : Lough Avaghon a mile away to the south, Greenvale was at the heart of Ireland’s booming linen industry. Eventually its Flax Mill had to turn back to Corn and now the great farmhouse and its mill have gone, and the H6715 : Farm waterways: the Mill Stream on Greenvale Farm is just a trickle. Two miles away to the right on the skyline the ground rises to where the Mullananalt Wind Farm stands. The story of the Irwin family who farmed here for some 120 years is at LinkExternal link
