O'Garney River, Sixmilebridge
The original village grew up around a crossing place on the O’Garney River. By the end of the 17th century development was tied to the industrialisation of the area as people of Dutch origin found the river very suitable for milling. This ended abruptly with the building of a toll bridge on the river by Henry D’Esterre (Ó Dálaigh 2004). D’Esterre’s construction gained a profit from people crossing the river but halted the trading done with Holland.
