Take a walk back in time with these historical photo's of Newtownards. Song by Terry Christian Lights of Newtownards
love that song
fantastic
The picture of me on my Raleigh Chopper with my custom lights and mudflap in Conway Square bring back great memories of growing up in Ards. Sadly I had to leave behind when we left for Canada in 74.
As a son of Newtownards, I'm SO happy to say that these photos, the main street's double cruciform layout, and the range of buildings are still the same, and recognisable in 2023....Sadly the eejits thought it wise to make Conway Square pedestrianised and circular, with pavements that only seals could grip....Otherwise, the vistas are the same, 100+ years later ❤
you could be looking at youre grannie or yer granda in these , my grandfather my great grandfather and great great grandfather are all ards men so was my father and i alike i dont know how far back we go but a great great grandfather is wayyyyyyyyyyyy back .
so many people dont even realise that they are saying the name all wrong , it sound like i will spell it , Newtnards , thats wrong, try saying it like this spelling New town ards = Newtownards,
Utter shite and bollocks...It's pronounced 'Newton-Ards' and a precedent of Newtonards was established and maintained, thus!
Away n lie down
Yer heads cut! It's the 'Norn Iron' accent. Akin to Aussies pronouncing Australia as Straya.
LOL. I'm from the Ards area, lived in Newtownards itself for part of my life.. and no-one local pronouces it as you say they should. Unless they're trying to mimic RP or something cringe like that. Most people just call it Ards.
So glad I discovered this short video. I retired last year and decided to undertake a big project to fill my time. I took a DNA test and began researching my family tree. I discovered that I'm 50% Scots, 40% Irish and 10% Scandinavian. Being born and bred in Ayrshire, South West Scotland and having lived here all of my 62 years I was surprised although not shocked by the Irish % but the Scandinavian element certainly was a bolt out of the blue. My subsequent research has uncovered links on both my paternal and maternal lines to Newtonards, Antrim and Down. They mostly left for Scotland around the mid 1860s taking the journey across the Sheugh and settling in Ayrshire and a few in Glasgow. They left their jobs as handloom weavers and took up jobs in the Iron Ore and later the coal mines that were opening at the time. The towns connection with the Vikings adds another link in the tree. The family names associated with Newtowards are Hawthorn and Steele.
How our wee town has changed.
