That is a great discussion. 👏😉Thank you for undertaking this wonderful project. What a pity we were not taught this in secondary school in Ireland 1960's. In his time, his writing was ridiculed to the point that even in my school days 'Trollope' became a byword for bad writing (and women of bad character!).

Mike, as a boy of about 5 years, I just remember these trains at Dromod station in 1958. My father Jack and his brother Michael Frank worked at the station during WW2, transfering coal from the narrow gauge to the main line wagons. Great testament to them and their colleagues in difficult times. Best Regards Valentine Shanley

Wonderful stuff! I was amongst a large party of School Children who were on board the last (return) trip between Drumshanbo and Arigna. I was aged 8 at the time and I still fondly remember it.

Thank you Penny I am delighted you found this video and can understand how helpful the information is, when you visit be sure to try and contact Noel who I know would have lots more stories for you and family, he is a mind of information, we were limited with the time we had but this show could have gone on for a day with Noels stories and recall. All the best for now. Mike

My grandmother was Mary Wrynn, from Fenagh. When my mother and I visited Fenagh, my mother's first cousin, Paddy Wrynn, took us to the area and told us the story of Selton Hill. Those poor men who lost their lives will never be forgotten. Eileen

Double Pneumonia!!! That was a scary time for everyone, I can just imagine the worry that brought at the time, I would imagine your father had to go to the hospital at the time to get cared for? And the trip there depending on where he lived could have some interesting stories?

Hi Mike my father told me he remembered walking to school in Huge snow drifts here in Anglesey in 47 ! He past away in 2017 he was 78 🏴

May your father Rest In Peace, with the area mentioned and including Ireland and UK, the amount of snow that fell must have been huge, I would guess those school journeys were great fun in the snow, with lots of games and excitement.

Hello Mike, I am the Great Grand Son of Caleb S Laird, and have just returned from a trip to Drumshanbo with my Father David Burrowes eldest Sone of Norma Burrowes ne Laird where we met with Noel.
@DjMikeMulvihill 3 жыл бұрын
Hello John, lovely to hear from you, I bet that was an enjoyable meeting with Noel and that he had some wonderful memories and stories to share with you, Drumshanbo is a great town, it can move forward and yet keep many features of the past which are important for our heritage and also for visitors like you returning. I hope you enjoy your stay in Drumshanbo and Lovely Leitrim, give my regards to Noel if you see him. There are some other programs on my channel which you might find interesting. I spoke to Noel about Caleb on a Narrow-gauge railway show and also the Lairds family are mentioned in many videos which include photographs of the town from yesteryear.
