yes indeed only Glenties in Donegal had a higher death rate during the famine years , 90% of Lurganites have no idea of that fact , Lord Lurgan providing work lodgings to dig the park lake attracting lost souls all the way from the west of Ireland ,walking in hope towards Lurgan , up to 150 died in a week in lurgan poorhouse , many claim along the old wall are hundreds buried , i even recall reading muliple corpses buried in basket ' coffins ' . One story i recall of a 70 year old man being deposited in a wheelbarrow naked outside the poor house , his clothes stolen off him before he even got to the gates . Tragic , TY for the images . btw Andy Mitchells bakery = 1 of the very best in town !

I enjoyed, but was looking forward to a detailed video of Shankill graveyard. Will you post one?
