At the Ulster Folk Park there are many displays of different you might have seen in 18th and 19th century Northern Ireland. The ship display was obviously a ship leaving Derry for the New World in the middle was in the inside of a ship which took might have taken my great-grandfather 5 weeks to come across from Ireland to Castle Gardens New York, and believe me it wasn't as nice as what is pictured here in real life. On the right is a catholic prayer house, at least that is what they called it. On the bottom is a Presbyterian church, you can see how plain it is. In the middle is Deb who is about 5 foot 2 and she could barely fit under the doorways and on the right is a print shop. The scary thing is some of the things you see pictured here in the print shop I used at one time at the Reading Eagle, and that has been since 1970. Where the Ulster Folk Park is located County Tyrone is also the area where my great-grandmother came from Ellen Kirk. I will find her on another trip. |
