Ian Bloomfield, Sammy Mulholland

Two young friends, Ian Bloomfield and Sammy Mulholland, hang out together.

Date unknown – most likely early to mid 1950s.

Anyone know the town (from the shop names in the background)? Ballymena? Anyone know the type of car?

One Irish Rover focuses on the history and the people of the area in Northern Ireland where I grew up. Notably, the Portglenone, Kilrea, Maghera, Bellaghy, Innisrush and Tamlaght areas, in Counties Derry and Antrim.

My mother took many photos and saved loads of old newspaper cuttings. Many of these appear on this website.

I am also delighted to receive old photos, and stories. Feel free to drop me a line, via the Contact link (in the MENU above). Thanks for all your contributions.

June and July - took over 28,000 photos, in some 25 additional graveyards. There is much work ahead, in photoshop and with transcribing headstones.
