Tower ({{irish place name|Teamhair}}; Ordnance Survey Ireland name Model Village[2]) is a village in County Cork, Ireland, northwest of Cork city. It is 3 km from Blarney and the two villages are merging along the R617 road and are dormitory towns for Cork city.

History

The 1845 Ordnance Survey map shows a hamlet called Tower Village at the junction of the townlands of Coolflugh, Kilnamucky, and Cloghphilip in the civil parish of Matehy.[3] By 1902, the Cork and Muskerry Light Railway branch line to Blarney had a station at Tower Bridge.[4] This prompted development of a model village by O'Mahony builders along what is now the Model Village Road. There was further growth in the Celtic Tiger era, with the population growing by 116% between the censuses of 1991 and 2002. It grew more slowly thereafter, reaching 3,306 in 2011.[5]

Features

Tower is in the Roman Catholic parish of Inniscarra. There are two pubs in the village (The Huntsman and Aunties Bar), and a SuperValu store.[6]
