Wilson’s Auctions, Naas, is handling the online action and describes the lot as a:

Prime site in the heart of Drogheda. The subject properties comprise Nos. 14 & 15 Trinity Street which are two terraced buildings. The Mill to the rear comprises a site with a number of derelict buildings. No. 21 Trinity Street comprises an end of terrace residential property on a corner site. 11 Mill Row comprises a terraced property which is in a derelict state. We understand the property was once a 3 bedroom house. The property is located on a cul-de-sac.

The Westgate Mill site backs on to the River Boyne. It once was a detached multiple bay four storey mill built around 1820, later used as a shoe factory and then as offices and a gymnasium. It was a protected structure with Louth Co. Council.

The entire is being sold as seen and not subject to planning”.
