Historia
Ranks Flour Mill was established in 1931 by Joseph Rank (1854-1943), founder of one of Britain's largest flour milling and bakery companies. It was a significant industrial driver in Limerick, providing employment for 500 permanent staff and up to 1000 seasonal workers. The company ceased operations in 1983, following severe financial losses caused by increasing competition from cheap flour imports and a decline in bread consumption.
