About

Sion Mills was laid out as a model linen village by the Herdman brothers, James, John and George in the 1830s. The River Mourne has powered industrial machinery in the area since 1640, according to civil surveys from the mid-17th century this was also the site of a former corn mill. The model village which was created by the Herdman family also incorporated recreational amenities for locals such as a community centre, cricket, bowling and football clubs.
