About
Join Dr Johnny Hamill and discover the fascinating story of the linen industry and its surprising connections to Omagh. This engaging talk explores how linen once flourished — and eventually faded — across the region, brought to life through authentic artefacts and samples of cloth. You’ll also uncover Omagh’s lesser-known role in this story, from its 19th-century flax market to the ill-fated spinning mill at Mountfield. Learn how a few twists of fate — and even events across the Atlantic — could have transformed Omagh’s industrial past forever.
