The mill that kept turning

Annalong Cornmill was still working in the 1960s, one of the last working watermills in Northern Ireland. Its grain-drying kiln, millstones, waterwheel and back-up engine are all still there, showing how water power and machinery worked side by side.

Bringing the mill back

When the council took over the cornmill, restoration began in 1983 and it reopened in 1985. A working rural business became a place where you can see exactly how it was done.
