History

Established in 1847.

Long before The Dropping Well was established, Milltown was home to a thriving silk industry, two corn mills, an iron mill, a paper mill and a sawmill which was located at Classon’s Bridge on the site of the Dropping Well pub. In the late 18^th Century John Classon started his own milling business at this site beside the river Dodder, he later built a bridge across the river from granite stone lifted from the Dodder bed to aid transport to and from his business, Classon’s Bridge still bears his name to this day.

Since first licensed in 1847 the Dropping Well has enjoyed eight ownerships:

Mr & Mrs John Howe, Miss Williams, Joseph Brownrigg, John Maher, Edward Daly, P.H. Meagher, The Cleary Family and the current owner Charlie Chawke, we know some of this great establishment’s history…
