What is recorded here

Hill Street in County Antrim still wears its brewing past on its skin. A bronze plaque marks the 1920s jute sack warehouse that later served the old Bushmills distillery, while barrels embedded in nos. 13-22 reveal a similar drinking history. The street did not announce itself; it waited for someone to read the shapes already hidden in its walls.
This bronze commemorative plaque records: This 1920s building originally functioned as a jute sack warehouse. Various breweries distributed their wares from Hill Street. The building at no.s 5-35 served the old Bushmills distillery. Spot the barrels and no.s 13-22 which reveal a similar past. Recorded plaque organisation: Belfast City Council.
Bushmills Distillery is one of the oldest licensed distilleries in Ireland, renowned for its whiskey production since at least 1608; the site's historical importance lies in its longstanding contribution to Irish whiskey heritage and local economy.
