KILBARRON/TERRYGLASS HISTORICAL SOCIETY
A very interesting and enjoyable evening was had by all at the recent Kilbarron/Terryglass History Society meeting, where there was a general discussion on the history and legend of Ballinderry Mill. Many thanks to John Mulvihill for chairing the talk, with many contributions from people who shared their memories and knowledge of the mill during its working years. It gave a fascinating insight into part of the industrial heritage of the parish. Many thanks to all who turned up to share their experiences of the Mill.
A lot of information has come to hand concerning people connected to the parish who were involved in World War 1 in some capacity. It is hoped to have a presentation on this interesting subject in Terryglass on Sunday 27th July.
The Society will also present a History of Kilbarron Church on Saturday 14th June and an historical tour of Kilbarron parish, as part of the celebrations of the bi-centenary of Kilbarron Church.
The Historical Society meets on the second Friday of each month in the Pavilion at the Sportsfield, Ballinderry.
