Mother's home
An amazing photo for me as it shows the house in Bow Street where my mother lived with her parents. In 1929, she was 12 years-old. What a feeling to think my grandparents would have heard the plane passing overhead as it took the photo.
They were Robert and Martha McKibben and their daughter, my mother was Nan (Anne).

My childhood memories go to Ballyclare, Blackhead, Carrickfergus and last but not least, dear Whitehead.

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!!!!!
