The BBC reported (Oct 30) that “Firefighters have brought under control a blaze at the site of a historic mill in a County Tyrone village”
The fire was focused on the front offices of the Mourne mill – the large industrial factories that were occupied between 1989 and 2004 when the last mill workers were paid off.
