BETTY TAKEN FOR A TRIP 3710
Here we are in High Street in 1975 with a Miss Betty McMillan tied up in a wheelbarrow and all done up had been wheeled all round High Street.
Betty was a member of the staff of Lowry's Café for many years in Church Street. The reason for this high jinks was because Betty was getting married to Mr. Samuel Sempy at First donegore Church on the 6th June 1975. They had stopped for rest and so the photograph was taken quickly, these are her friends from Lowry's and on the left is Miss Mary McGarry, then Mr Tommy Steele who was the baker not the singer, next is Mrs Margaret McGuinness and finally Mrs Audrey McNeill. By the look on Betty's face there are going to have a hard job getting her out of the wheelbarrow because she seems to be enjoying the fun! That was 40 years ago and they are still happily married, well done.
