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.
