Mills is the new life of Newmills, a peaceful rural village ideally
situated between the thriving towns of Dungannon and Cookstown.
DUNGANNON
Dungannon
is one of the most venerable towns in Northern Ireland, yet its
fresh spiritof reinvigoration is evident everywhere. This is a
growing, go-ahead community of 12000, where the legacy of the
past is cherished by adapting it to the needs of the 21st Century.
For
example, Moygashel Mills, one of the greatest names in the historic
heyday of the Irish linen industry, has been given a new lease
of life as The Linen Green, the craft, design and factory outlet
centre which attracts customers from Ireland and beyond.
Another
example is the tasteful transformation of an ornate church hall
into a popularrestaurant in one of the beautiful terraces which
bear witness to the town's wealth in the Georgian and Victorian
eras.
Dungannon
has been a centre of ecclesiasticaland educational excellence
for centuries, The Royal School Dungannon dates from 1614; the
bronze statue in front of the school is ex-pupil General John
Nicholson, who died heroically in the 1857 Indian Mutiny.
