    “In Kilsharven about 70 years ago there was a linen mill.”

    Share Share Post
    In Kilsharven about 70 years ago there was a linen mill. A man was employed to turn the linen in the night or else the linen would be beetled too much. He soon fell asleep. After a while he woke up with a start. He roared out "I am ruined" but when he looked at the linen he saw that al lthe work was done.
