great where i was born and brought up, down by the Church to the right to Shore Road Often thought about the place ,regretted the sectarianism ,but never forgot the craic and indeed the inherent tolerance of ordinary people .Keep up the good work Tom
I too look back with great fondness to Windsor Terrace in Banbridge where i lived for my first 18 or so years. Really happy memories really good friends made. Many are long gone. My dad and mum treated everyone the same. We never thought of religious differences back then We were shielded from the Troubles too. As ever many thanks Tony.

Sinead I left at 18 for the RAF because I hated the hypocrisy, but there I was born and always my heart will be. It's been 40 yrs now and I'm settled on the south coast of England since my 22 yrs 'in'. I'm scared to go back, even for a visit, because shops, roads, designs and more importantly People change drastically over time, and I think I'd be a 'tolerated oddity' which is a shame but an irrefutable truth. Sincerely hope you and yours are well, bye xx
I'm afraid Lurgam is not alone in this. All towns particularly east of the Bann have declined in a similar way. Lockdown and the inevitable bankrupsy it brings will kill off even more towns and village life. Best wishes from Belfast.
Hey William thanks for that. I'm afraid don't no much about Lurgan even though I'm originally from Banbridge. Best wishes from the Belfast Castlereagh hills.
