Old Antrim

The venerable town of Antrim is captured in its heyday within the pages of this collection: fifty-three rare period photographs which recall the days when the town still had its castle and horses were still taken to the forge at Massereene. The pleasure steamers of Lough Neagh and the beginnings of the airport are other subjects featured, as well as the notorious 'Pogue's Entry' made famous by Alexander Irvine's book about the poorer part of town, a 1930s precursor to Angela's Ashes.
