Mountmellick (Móinteach Mílic in Irish) is a town in the north of County Laois in Ireland. It was a significant industrial town before the Famine of the mid-19th century, when it was known as "little Manchester". This was partly thanks to the Grand Canal, the Mountmellick branch of which is now filled in. Mountmellick embroidery, also known as Mountmellick Lace, became one of the most popular forms of needlework during the 19th century.
