7 14/03/2010 Changed Bleach Weir to Bleach Road Weir. This weir is simply called the weir by Kilkenny People. Very popular swimming spot for generations. Maddoxtown is in local parlance a blind weir, i.e. an old broken down weir. You can still see the masonry under the sallies on the left bank. The weir below is mostly intact and called Collis's weir after Collis' mills. Collis' mills were used to cut and polish limestone for the production of Kilkenny Marble. The pond between Maddoxtown blind weir and Collis's is known as Millay's. The old building on the west bank was formerly a distillery. Do a bit of paddling in a Canadian, all the weirs from Brett's down are great fun in a Canadian as long as you dont mind shipping plenty of water. Wouldnt recommend Bleach or Lacken Weir in a Canadian. Yvonne
