Ballance House, Glenavy
John Ballance was the Prime minister of New Zealand from 1891 to 1893 and he was born in Glenavy, a small village near Lisburn, the eldest son of a tenant farmer.聽 And this weekend at his restored birthplace, the Ulster New Zealand trust are having a special Christmas Event.聽 Anne Marie McAleese talks to Hilary Bracefield, who volunteers with the Ulster New Zealand Trust and Ellie Irving who helped organise the event.
A History of Newry
175 years ago, in County Down, a 7 acre site, South East of Newry was agreed as the place where a workhouse would be built to provide relief for poor people in the district.聽 Anne Marie McAleese talks to Hugh McShane, an expert on local history in the area - his latest booklet is called 'Newry Workhouse and the Great Famine.'
Deep Sea Diving in the North Sea
Anne Marie McAleese heads to Portstewart to talk to native Portstewart man, Barry Dempsey, a deep sea diver and a skilled engineer.聽 The idea of life working with and living near the sea was a straightforward one for Barry, not just because of the town he grew up in... But also the house he lived in... even though his home is now across the Bann in Castlerock.
