This book spans a period of 4,000 years and covers social, economic, political and military historical themes. Costello examines the impact of major historical events including the Great Famine, the Fenian Rising, World War 1 and the War of Independence and the impact they had on the village.
Drawing almost exclusively on primary sources, Milltown: An Illustrated History recovers the lost history of a small village community and attempts to tell some of its story.
