Place & story
A village in two counties
The River Blackwater divides Tamnamore between County Tyrone and County Armagh. Its western side belongs to Mid Ulster, while its eastern side became part of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon in the 2015 council reorganisation. The council’s 2017 settlement evaluation records that the village had previously been designated under the Dungannon and South Tyrone Area Plan. [2]
Feed milling at the motorway junction
Capper Trading’s Tamnamore premises are on Tamnamore Road near junction 14 of the M1. The business, founded by Robert Capper, manufactures and transports feed for cattle and sheep. In its own account of the site, the company records investment in a new feed mill in 2016, linking this local industrial development to the surrounding agricultural economy. [3]
