Description
Between Ballymagorry & Artigarvan, Strabane, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland
Most of my images have the history/story of each building or area attached. However once in a while, a scene like this comes along. I’ve looked everywhere online & asked many people but to no avail. I cannot find the history on this old Leckpatrick mill. I guess the real reason is because it’s not famous or symbolic to many people living today, so it stands lonesome & hidden away in a field alongside an extremely quiet country road.
We may not know its history or stories, but I can tell you that this old barn means the world to me. My friends & I spent our childhood/teens meeting up, playing & camping out etc inside this old building. Some of the best summers of my life were spent around here.
I decided to return to this old ruin after 25 years! to capture this photograph for my own personal memories. However Instead of keeping it in archive, I’ve decided to share it with you all. I believe that just because the history isn’t available or that this old building may only hold personal memories for a select few, isn’t a reason for others to miss out on its charm.
