Ewarts Mill

The last part of Ewarts Mill in an industrial area of Belfast to be knocked down was a small hut structure. I stood out on its own surrounded by the expanse of space the cleared site provided and then what was left of the perimeter wall and a make shift fence. It looked ludicrously small and isolated in its industrially scaled surroundings. However it had a tenacious quality as well as it once must have integral to the Mill and was the last part of it to be demolished.
