My childhood memories go to Ballyclare, Blackhead, Carrickfergus and last but not least, dear Whitehead. My late mother came from Whitehead, and as children, my sister and I often had wonderful holidays with relations, exploring the town and surroundings, especially walking to Blackhead up and around back to Whitehead..one time, many years later, my cousin who lived in Whitehead, said, will you take her for a walk, walk her off her feet.. no such luck boy, I walked you off your feet!!

Home again
I remember this shot very well. My dad had his fishing boat there, he would take us to Bangor for the day from this spot. To be sure some of you would remember Geordy McFall. My uncle Hammie Loughlin once gave me a beautiful night shot of the castle all lit up from this view, unfortunately apparently too beautiful as the picture was later stolen during a move. It is amazing to me to see this shot - makes me homesick!!!!!

County Antrim memories
Living at Waringsfield Miltary Hospital
I lived in Moira, Roughley about 1955. I was born in Moira in 1950. It was when the hospital was open, my dad was in the medical corp. I always remember Lady Mountbatten coming to the hospital, my younger sister was selected to present her with flowers. They were good days, I often go through Moira when I visit Ireland. I went to Moira school. I remember when they had Liptons, mum used to shop there. They were great days. I would love to have some old photos of the old hospital.
