Windmill Stump near Kearney
Windmill Stump near Kearney
Windmill stump near Kearney on the eastern Ards peninsula. Possibly dating from the 1780s - I have found reference to a windmill and other property in this area being advertised to let by none other than Waddell Cunningham J3570 : Mausoleum of Waddell Cunningham, Knockbreda Cemetery, Belfast in October 1783. An advertisement in the Belfast News Letter from that time read:
"She will have two running mill-stones, one for oats the other for hard grain, in good wheat country."
