  • Alan Godfrey Maps
    ALAN GODFREY MAPS Alan Godfrey maps are reprints of Old Ordnance Survey Maps. They are based on either 25" (or 1:2,500) plans, reduced to 15" to the mile, or “Inch to the Mile” maps. As all these maps predate the Second World War, they show the configuration of streets before bomb damage, after which many streets in Belfast were lost. Each map includes a history of the area, and some include extracts from contemporary directories. Co. Antrim Co. Antrim Sheet 32.16 Ballymena 1903 This very detailed map covers much of Ballymena, including the town centre. Coverage stretches from the station eastwards to the Braid River, and from the Union Workhouse southwards to Harryville Bridge. Note that most of Harryville is off the map. The map covers the town centre with houses and other buildings all neatly delineated; The Castle, Braid Water Mills, station including narrow gauge line, Market Place, Fair Green, Town Parks area, Recreation Ground, Court House, Adair Arms Hotel, weaving factory, McClurkanstown, St Patrick's church, Kintullagh House, District Model School, People's Park, cottage hospital etc. A list of private inhabitants from a contemporary directory is included. Co. Antrim Sheet 40.04 Larne 1903 This very detailed map covers the important harbour town of Larne. Most of the town is covered on this busy map and major features include the Harbour railway station and the two town stations. Other features include the northern part of Inver (around the stations), Inver Mill, Market Place, Invermore, Bleach & Dye Works, Pound Street, Main Street, Union Workhouse, McGarel Buildings, Linen Weaving Factory, Aluminium Works, Curran House, Olderfleet Hotel, Chaine Monument, Drumalis (or Drumaliss) and much more.

  • The Clogher Valley Railway
    B B C Northern Ireland Schools One Potato,Two Potato Autumn 2004 The Clogher Valley Railway by Albert Crawford Programme 4 5 October The narrow gauge railway line was fi rst in use in 1887 and was closed offi cially in 1942, although trains continued to run until 1944. There were thirty seven miles of track extending from Tynan in Country Armagh to Maguiresbridge. For the most part, the track followed the route of the main road, and ran down the middle of the road in many of the larger towns such as Fivemiletown, Aughnacloy and Caledon. The thirty seven mile journey took three hours, as the train travelled at a maximum of twelve miles per hour. Its timetable was said to be based ‘more on folklore than fact’. In 1928 the trains became diesel and the journey was cut to two hours. The locomotives were famous for their huge lamps in front and the whole train gave an impression of the American ‘wild west’, with open vestibules and glass roofs. The introduction of cattle grids has been attributed to the Clogher Valley Railway, so perhaps the incident described in the story was not unusual! Today’s story makes a journey with Bobby along the railway line from Tynan to Maguiresbridge. Song The Clogher Valley Tram Come all ye local people and listen to my song It’s only forty verses and it won’t detain you long It’s all about the great express that runs along ram-stam The noble-hearted monster, The Clogher Valley Tram. It starts out in the morning from the town of Augnacloy And if you happen to be late just do a sprint me boy And if you’re good at running, then it’s mighty sure I am It won’t be long till you’re safe inside the Clogher Valley Tram.

Although every realistic effort has been made to obtain all relevant information, all potential contamination, environmental and / or geotechnical constraints or liabilities associated with the site may not necessarily have been revealed. Any interpretation and advice given in this report should be considered preliminary and suitable for planning purposes only. It should not be used for detailed design unless confirmed by a ground investigation.
