Sustrans Portrait Bench on the Newtownabbey Way at Mossley. This shared-use path is part of a traffic-free cycle route between Mossley Mill and Belfast, about 9 miles, on the National Cycle Network's Route 93. The Portrait Benches are erected in various locations throughout the UK and represent the local people of the area. This one depicts, from left to right, a local angler who fishes the nearby Threemilewater River, a mill-girl from the former flax-spinning mill at Mossley and the onetime stationmaster of a local railway station, possibly Whiteabbey.
