I'm looking for any information about a place called Licklea Mill, probably near Colesmanstown. >> James, I'm going to assume that the Loughlea is actually Loughrea (I can't find any Loughlea), because a Loughlea could be near a Loughlea Mill <g>. The small town/townland of Colmanstown (it has a postoffice so, by some standards, it is also a town) has a small stream passing through it called, conveniently, Mill Stream. It crosses one of the town's "main" roads - going to the NW from Colmanstown "center" - about 300 yards from the intersection with two other roads, near the postoffice and public phonebooth. The central area of the town is shown at 589 384 on Discovery map 46. There are no current buildings shown in the townland alongside of the Mill Stream, but there are two small collections of buildings within a hundred yards of the stream - one near Mill Stream itself where it crosses the first road I mentioned, to the NW (which connects Colmanstown with the R 339 road, a bit over a mile away. The other small collection buildings is about 3/4 of a mile east of the town center, near an un-named branch of the Mill Stream. This group is at 598 384. But no townland or identification on this map of a Licklea Mill. Pete Schermerhorn, in the glorious Berkshire hills of western Massachusetts
