14th June 2018. Bus from Lurgan to Dungannon (population 16,000) a distance of 22 kilometres. I lived in Dungannon from 1979 to 1982.
Ranfurley House.
The Hill of the O’Neill (the ruins of the O’Neill Castle). The O’Neills were the most powerful clan in the Tudor Ireland.
The military-looking building was the town’s police station (Royal Ulster Constabulary) when I lived here. There is an urban myth that the design was supposed to be used in the North West Frontier of the British Raj but somehow was sent to County Tyrone.
The War Memorial.
This path was not in Dungannon when I lived here. The train station was closed in the mid 1960s when train service west from Portadown was discontinued. The path is the old railway track and nice to see the landscaping.
