Description
The mills, established along the banks of the river Lee near Cork in 1794, quickly became an industrial center during the Napoleonic Wars. In 1837 they produced about 16,000 barrels of gunpowder and by the mid-1880s some 500 men and boys were employed there.

Through slide shows and exhibitions, the mills explain the dangerous work done there.
