J4499 : Millbay pier, Islandmagee

Millbay pier, Islandmagee

Limestone is common in east Antrim. There were several piers erected around the coast of Islandmagee to facilitate its export. I have not been able to trace a source which gives all locations. The pier, in the townland of Carnspindle, is however recorded as having been completed in 1834 for one Archibald Donnan at a cost of £450. It seems that it was subject to silting and fell into disuse. Magheramorne quarry is in the background. J4499 : Millbay pier, Millbay, Islandmagee (May 2017) shows a similar view in 2017.
