An aerial view of the Tuam Sugar Beet Factory in about 1940. Manufacturing operations began in the factory in November 1934. The factory was a mainstay of the local economy and remained the principal employer in Tuam and the surrounding countryside for much of the twentieth century. It was finally closed in January 1987 and the plant was subsequently demolished.
