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.

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.
