I have been searching for this site for years. Found due to winter flooding and now low rivers. Site of 1600s corn mill in Loughry last used in mid 1800s

After a layer of red oxide and another of Buckingham green I think I'm done. More lurking about though.

Transcribing an interview I had with a scutcher from Derrynoose. When I asked how dusty the flax mill was he responds "dusty, damned it was tara"

Long twitter hiatus, seen a few places since. Faraway windmill stump at Portaferry taken from Castleward which has a very interesting corn mill on site.

The milestone at Carrickmore. Omagh 9 miles. Where did the hundreds of other milestones go to?

Two retted beets from flax grown at the Moneymore allotments. A lot of hard work involved. About 12 more left to do.

@TSlivinghistory Map mill fever

[MillsNorthernIreland @MillsofNI]

No more hay making this year. Way late in the season. Backbreaking work but glad i tried it out. More time now for mill research.

[MillsNorthernIreland @MillsofNI]

I survived one week and a bit without a mobile. Very impractical as i use it mostly as a torch for photos. Anyway an Ards door will clear things up. Ive seen three of these on my travels this week.

Lovely hidden industrial feature at Pomeroy Forest. Remains of mill race and slate river bed.
