Drumnahoe townland, November 2011. Here you can see the modern reflection of 18th century rural industrialisation, when factories were located in rural areas to take advantage of water as a power source. In front here is the factory; there's been one on this site since the 1780s. To the right are the row houses of Millbrook village, modern council replacements of the originals built in the early 20thc. To the left are fields and farms, showing that this community still reflects its rural origins.
