Sunset in Coleraine

The Coleraine chapter of my life began in 1990. It lasted over 18 years, before I left in 2008 for pastures new. Work back then involved travelling, each day, at all hours of the day and night,...

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.
