| Summary: | Burlington Quay was constructed in 1808 by the Duke of Devonshire. The term 'Quay' was used due to a proposal to construct a canal from deep water on the Bandon River to Dunmanway, planned and surveyed but never undertaken.The Store on the right was Scott's Cotton Mill built in 1810. The section with corrugated roof was built in 1835 to house the first steam engine operated in Bandon. It has been purchased by Cork County Council for demolition. The site is to be used as a public car park. A new proposal to develop the entire area as far as the chimney into a shopping complex and car park is being examined (in 1995.) |
