- There is a field in Drumcar which was owned by the late Mr T W Bell. There is a stream in this field where at one time there was a flax mill.
This mill was owned by a man named Callan. He also owned a bakery and a corn mill. He owned some fields, and there is a field up to the present day called after that name, "Callan's meadow. There is a pillar at the gate going ito this field where the flax mill was. There is a wheaten mill now where the corn mill used to be. It is about one hundred years since these mills or bakery were in operation.
