The remains of an old mill race and sluice beside the Sixmilewater (right) Image To the best of my knowledge they powered the paper mill (1875-1950) which was served by a siding on the (3ft) narrow-gauge railway Image from Ballyboley Jct, between Ballymena and Larne. The line closed to passengers in 1930 but continued to operate goods trains to the paper mill until its closure. The river is not shown on the Google map – see the satellite photograph.
