Kimmage An Illustrated History

At the foundation of the State in 1922, Kimmage was just a crossroads (KCR), with farmland all around, but then thousands of houses were built by Dublin Corporation in the 1930s, bringing life to the area. In earlier times, the old Larkfield Flour Mill was used to train volunteers leading up to the 1916 Easter Rising and is now the site of Supervalu Shopping Centre on Sundrive Road. Until recent years, Kimmage Manor was a major seminary for the Holy Ghost Fathers, and part of their extensive farm was later redeveloped for St Mary's Rugby Football Club. Big employers in the 1950s included McEntaggart Motor Assembly, later taken over by British Leyland, while Dublin Dairies was a major distributor of pasteurized bottled milk to households.
