Lusky Mill, 41 Lusky Road, Kilmood, Killinchy, Co Down, BT23 6RR

Ruined remains of a large corn mill of 1823, set amidst largely wooded surrounds, to the NE of Lusky Road, roughly 1.5 miles W of the village of Killinchy. The mill building is T-shaped and consists of two storeys with the long front facade facing N and the upright of the T extending to the S to the mill race. The building is largely overgrown and badly dilapidated but its rubble facade can still be glimpsed and to the front there are several window and door openings which have brick dressings. Some of the windows still have the remnants of their Georgian paned sash frames. Above one of the doorways there is said to be an inscribed date stone, but this was obscured by rampant plant growth. Above the doorway to the left is a small foot bridge leading to higher ground a few yards to the N. The rear portion of the mill is largely hidden by trees. The mill race to the S appears to have been blocked and recently altered with breeze block construction in evidence. There appear to be remnants of the wheel itself. To the S of the corn mill a scutch mill was constructed in 1864, but little could be discerned of this bar an ivy covered chimney stack. To the NW of the mill complex is a small single storey house (?or office) with a hipped roof and sheeted timber door and two windows to front. To the W of this is a modern house which actually spans the River Blackwater. The mill pond is to the N.
