Mallow, County Cork Bed and Breakfast Accommodation
Mallow is the "Crossroads of Munster. Set deep in the Blackwater Valley, Mallow was traditionally an agricultural market town but due to vast improvements in infrastructure, coupled with significant promotion and investment, the town has become a thriving business and satellite town.
Mallow developed rapidly in the late 16th century as a plantation town. It has prospered throughout the centuries as a market town due to its rich agricultural hinterland. Irish Statesmen such as Thomas Davis and William O'Brien were both born in Mallow in the 19th century.
The main street in Mallow is called Davis St. (although commonly referred to as Main St.), and joins with William O'Brien St. outside Mallow Town Hall. Ironically, at the point where Davis St. meets O'Brien St. there is a monument to J.J. Fitzgerald, a little-known local politician who was instrumental in establishing both Mallow Urban District Council and Cork County Council. The monument is often mistaken for O'Brien, even by a number of local people. In fact, it was O'Brien himself who unveiled this monument in the early part of the 20th Century.
The town developed a significant industrial base in the early 20th century, based largely on its agricultural capability, with dairy produce and sugar beet supplying the Sugar Factory, Macintosh, Bournes and Dairygold. Changes in the European Union sugar subsidy programme resulted in the closure of the Sugar Beet factory in mid 2006, after 75 years continual production. This has resulted in considerably less heavy traffic on the poor-quality national secondary roads connecting Mallow to nearby towns, and has freed up valuable space in the centre of town for future commercial, residential and civic development. The development of Market Square which contains both residential and commercial units in 2006 effectively relocated the town centre and has made the town a thriving commercial centre once more. After exploring the lovely town of Mallow, book and stay in a warm and friendly Bed and Breakfast and avail of high standard accommodation.

Mallow Castle
Certain traditions ascribe the building of the original castle to King John or at least to his time. It seems certain that there was a very early Norman structure on the site, of what type would be impossible to say, but probably attributable to the Norman De Rupe or Roches who had displaced the native O'Keeffes from the district and driven them further west. A date is given for this early construction as 1185 A.D.
The Long Room
The Long Room, which opened on 16th May 1738, occupied the site of the present Clock House. It was a two-storey building which extended to the centre of the road. It was built by Colonel Anthony Jephson of Mallow Castle as a place of public entertainment for visitors to the Spa. Balls and Public Breakfasts were held here and it was frequented by the Rakes of Mallow. The "Rakes" were wild men who engaged themselves liberally in drinking, gambling and, where possible, hunting, particularly during the Spa Years.
The Clock House
The Clock House was build c. 1855, by Sir Denham Orlando Jephson. He was an amateur architect who is said to have designed this house after he had returned from an alpine holiday. The Clock was brought from the tower of the Old Mallow Castle. The bell was cast at Millerd St., Cork. The Clock House is a fine example of a half-timbered Tudor construction. The bell tower became dangerous and was removed c. 1970.
