Nostalgic memories of Dungannon's local history

Share your own memories of Dungannon and read what others have said

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our web site to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was when the photographs in our archive were taken. From brief one-liners explaining a little bit more about the image depicted, to great, in-depth accounts of a childhood when things were rather different than today (and everything inbetween!). We've had many contributors recognising themselves or loved ones in our photographs.

Why not add your memory today and become part of our Memories Community to help others in the future delve back into their past.

I visited Dungannon several times with my father who was born in the Lindesayville Cottages in 1923, his mother's family, the Stranaghans, lived at number 17 and my father lived second from the bottom end. The family attended Desertcreat church. Dungannon is a very nice small town. My father moved to Corby in England in 1947, in 1950 he took my mother over to meet his family, he did not go back until 1996 and had his picture in the Tyrone Courier, he knew the editor from school.
