ME AND MY PALS 2020
This is Nellie McCaughey at the back in the middle surrounded by all her pals
in the WRAFF during World War II.
As you can see they have just had a cup of tea and they did need it, for just
look at all that snow.
MOORE BROTHERS 2022
Out for a cycle we have the Moore brothers, on the left is Raymond then Cecil
and finally Jack. Jack has a bicycle also but he left it on the grass verge
on the right to have the photograph taken.
The bikes are Raleigh complete with bells and rear dynamo lights and of course
the cycle clips for your trousers.
MOAT 3663
Here we are at the Moat at Ballymena when they had put wooden steps right
up to near the top.
The people in the photograph are unknown just for not taking the time to right
their names on the back. They could be two couple of friends or even a family.
The two men look as if they are doing alright for work. The girl does not
have ring on her finger so it could be his sister or even his girlfriend.
While the other could be mother and son and with the mother dressed in black
she sadly is mourning a loved one, perhaps her husband.
MOAT 752
This is hard work cutting the grass on the Moat at Ballymena while the boss
watches on from above.
The year is 1899.
EVENING WALK 2021
Having their photograph taken while out for an evening walk we have Tillie
and Jack Moore.
MILL STREET 4068
This is Mill Street and it's ten past one in the afternoon,
over to the right are a group of men standing outside Collins shop. On the
street corner on the left is a man with a policeman and towering above them
is the clock tower.
MILL STREET 4070
It's early evening here on Mill Street in Ballymena and
the street is packed with shoppers. On the left is a lady walking along well
dressed and a fancy hat probably the height of fashion and next to her is
another lady but we can only see her hat. Let us cross the road to the other
side and here the two ladies are dressed much differently, both are wearing
shawls and no headgear, the one walking past the auctioneer's shop seems to
be carrying a wicker basket. Four ladies but oh so, so different lives.
MILL STREET 4080
Here we are on the Ballymoney road and looking across
the road is the Methodist Church and someone said that that the first bedroom
window in the house next was Sheila Stanfields. Now on this side of the road
in the left hand corner is a wter pump were you turned the round handle and
the water would come out.
