Blackstaff Mill, located on Springfield Road in Belfast
Blackstaff Mill, located on Springfield Road in Belfast, is a significant landmark in the city’s industrial heritage, particularly within the linen industry. Established in the 19th century, the mill was integral to Belfast’s reputation as a global center for linen production. At its peak, the linen industry accounted for 40% of all jobs in Ulster, with numerous spinning and weaving mills operating throughout the city.
The mill’s workforce consisted of both men and women, including children, who often faced challenging working conditions. Historical records from the early 20th century depict crowded factory floors filled with staff, highlighting the labor-intensive nature of linen production during that era.
