STEWARTS

Stewarts Oil is a family-owned business supplying home heating oil to homes and businesses in counties Roscommon, Leitrim, Sligo, Galway, Longford with forecourts in Boyle and Carrick On Shannon... In 1885 Hugh Stewart took over the running of the mill. The mill was built on the banks of the Boyle River, and here Hugh sank four subterranean turbines. Two of the turbines powered the mills, which in turn ground the grains. Farmers would bring grain in horse or donkey-drawn carts, or would have their grain collected and transported by carters, to be ground at the mill. During this period Stewarts became the main suppliers of animal feeds to farmers locally and in neighbouring towns... Stewarts oil supply heating oil and solid fuels to homes and companies in Boyle, Co. Sligo, Co. Galway, Co. Longford and Co. Roscommon.
