ROSSIN, COUNTY MEATH, AN UNOFFICIAL PLACE

Bryn Coldrick

Four Courts Press, Fumbally Lane, Dublin 8.

ISBN 1-85182-710-2. €9.95

Rossin is a primary example of how places and industries can disappear. Look at a map of Co. Meath today and Rossin isn't marked. Located above the Mattock Bridge on the N51 between Slane & Drogheda, the ruins of Rossin mill remain to this day and Bryn Coldrick work sets out the development of the area, the development of the mill and its subsequent decline as a flour mill in the early 20th century, conversion to a flax mill only deferring its inevitable closure.
