Holyford, Co.Tipperary

Hollyford Tipp.

 

 

The photo was taken by Matt Parkes of a lightening damaged chimney at Holyford, Co Tipperary. There is little to see apart from the chimney, a second stump of a chimney next to ruined walls of a building (engine house?) and a shaft. The mines were mainly worked between 1837-39, and again between1848-1862. Copper was produced, from veins in Silurian greywackes.
This photo shows the ruined chimney stump and overgrown nature of the remains at Holyford copper mine, Co. Tipperary. See Cole's Memoir page 39. Hollyford Ruins
