Drumaness
Drumaness village lies about 5 kilometres south of Ballynahinch in County Down, beside the main Belfast to Newcastle road. It is situated in the civil parish of Magheradrool. Drumaness developed as a mill village in 1850, with the opening of the linen spinning mill on the banks of the River Cumber. Most of the area's inhabitants worked in the flax/linen industry. The linen industry declined after the Second World War. Hurst’s Linen Mill closed for good by the 1980s. The mill was subsequently demolished.
