Mossley Mill has been the scene of many key moments from the borough’s recent history, while the surrounding area has seen local residents come together to celebrate, whether that’s at one of the nearby schools, or at other community-based groups.

We’ve had a look through the Newtownabbey Times archive to find these fantastic pictures, helping to give a flavour of what life was like in the Mossley area over the past 17 years.

Hopefully they bring back some happy memories.
