In fact it became the largest linen thread mill in the world, giving Lisburn a richly deserved international reputation.

 If you visit here, walk round have a look for the headstone with the date, 31st February, 1916. How this date came to be cut in the memorial is a mystery. On the back of the stone is the name of the sculptors, "Kennedy Belfast." Was it intentional or a mistake? The official record states "23rd February, 1916.".
