Ballycopeland Windmill

The plastered and white-washed tapering tower is a landmark in Millisle, and the last remaining windmill of more than one hundred mills in County Down. It is estimated that Ballycopeland windmill was built around the 1780s or 90s, appearing on the first Ordnance Survey maps of the area in 1830s. It was owned by the McGilton family and the mill ground grain until 1915. In 1935 it was acquired by the government of Northern Ireland. Disused for many decades, in 1978, the old windmill was restored to working order again. Further information here.
