Cullybackey History

Little thatched cottage at Dunminning. Look at the disrepair it has got into since the National Trust put it up for sale a number of years ago. @NationalTrustNI @CbackeyHistory #nature @autumnwatch

O, to have a little house! To own the hearth & stool & all! The heaped up sods against the fire, The pile of turf against the wall! To have a clock with weights & chains & pendulum swinging up & down! Padraic Colum 📷mine of Arthur cottage, Cullybackey Co Antrim N #Ireland

A pleasure to listen to Professor Wesley Hutchinson of the Sorbonne speak at @CbackeyHistory. A packed room of local folk engaging with intellectual and cultural history.

@timothyferres I am so sorry Tim. I am only seeing this now. Do you still need the image? If so I can ask around now that we are back off our summer break.

@CbackeyHistory I wondered if any of your members had images of Dunminning House for an article I'm writing about the Patrick family? Many thanks. Tim.

Our new season starts soon! Check out our 2019-20 Programme now!

Great to hear @ErvineLinda talk in Cullybackey about Gaelic place names & language in Ulster. Learnt a lot& enjoyed the inclusive message about the languages of these islands connecting us, not dividing us. V important work by Linda. Well done @CbackeyHistory for hosting it.

Our new Programme is now available. You can pick up your own copy in Nisa Cullybackey from tomorrow.
