What was the old building/ Mill about 40 years ago when you come into Leixlip from Dublin and take the first right down the end of the road?

Thought it was some sort of factory, an old aunt of mine worked in it and lived in the cottages (about 6 of them) a few 100 yards from the (mill)?

The Liffey Champion newspaper is based down there and their address is "Corn Mill, The Mill Lane, Leixlip"
