  • The North Gate - Carrickfergus by SNAPPYDAVE

    Just behind this archway to the left is a Restaurant/Bar named ‘The North Gate’ ironically! ... this is where I met a girl named Jenny …. ‘the rest is history’, as they say – I married her ;-) Looking at the quiet old town to-day one can scarcely believe that it was once a place of the greatest importance, and the centre of such stirring times, when Belfast was only a small village. The oldest records tell us that an Irish King, Feargus, built the first castle to defend his property three hundred and twenty years before Christ. He crossed to Scotland, and on his return journey he was wrecked on a rock in the bay, called afterwards the Rock of Fergus. His body was found and buried in the adjacent abbey of Monkstown. Another story tells that the same rock was called Carraig-na-Fairge, rock of the sea, from which it is more probable the name Carrickfergus was derived. From that time until a hundred years ago, Carrickfergus suffered almost constant invasion, plunder, bloodshed and burning. The Castle, the Church and remains of the walls bear silent witness to the oft-told story. The first wall was built round the city inside a month. It was built of sods and the inhabitants all joined with alacrity to defend the place from their enemies. This wall was afterwards replaced by stone, part of which is still to be seen. It was eighteen feet high, six feet thick and had seven bastions. The corners were of cut yellow stone, freestone, not found in any place in the neighbourhood. A moat safeguarded the landward side, a deep trench and drawbridge the outer side. There were four gates-The Glenarm or Spittal Gate-now the North Gate, the Woodburn or West Gate, the Water Gate and the Finey Gate which had battlements on the top. James I. entered the town by a drawbridge. The North Gate is still a picturesque memorial of the old days, but we hope the ancient structure may not fulfil the tradition which says: “The North Gate will stand until a wise man becomes a member of the Corporation.” A recent resolution was passed which proves that wise men have now a majority on the Corporation, for they have decided to restore the North Gate. Long may it remain as a most interesting object.

  • the old church lane ... by SNAPPYDAVE

    This photo was actually taken with my mobile phone (cell phone) as I had left the camera at home. I couldn’t wait to get home to see how it had turned out … not too bad !!! Just goes to show that if the lighting and subject material is right, then even a basic camera can capture a pretty cool pic/moment.

  • The Australian Jam Factory AJC Circa 1950 by Tom Newman

    This is an historical photo, B&W 35mm taken by me in 1950. The scene is The Jam Factory, Garden Street on the left hand side looking toward Chapel Street South Yarra, Victoria Australia. The men are having a “smoko” at the entrance . The Jam Factory or the AJC has now been converted into an upmarket shopping centre , retaining the name of “The Jam Factory”

  • THE BLUE ANGLES by SMOKEYDOGSOCKS

    BEFORE “THE BLUE ANGLES” CHANGED JETS, THEY FLEW IN THE A-6 SKYRAIDER BACK IN 1981. NOW OF COURSE, THEY FLY THE FA-18 HORNET, WHICH IS A MUCH MORE MANUEVERABLE JET. THIS PHOTO ALONG WITH SEVERAL OTHERS ARE JUST A FEW OF THE AIR SHOW SHOTS THAT I HAVE SCANNED TO CONVERT INTO DIGITAL. I HAVE SO MANY MORE TO SCAN THAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE ME SOME TIME TO ACHIEVE MY FINAL GOAL. ALL FILM PHOTOS DIGITIZED AND LOADED ONTO MY EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE. I HAVE ANOTHER SHOT OF THIS YEAR BLUE ANGLES THAT I TOOK BACK TO TRAVIS AFB NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IN 1983 AND HAD THE PILOTS OF THAT YEAR SIGN THE SHOT. I GOT ALL SIX PILOTS IN THE DIAMOND SHOT, BUT THEY WERE DIFFERENT PILOTS THAN THAT OF 1981. THEY ALL ASKED ME THE SAME QUESTION, “WHERE’D YOU GET THIS SHOT FROM”. I HAD TO TELL THE TRUTH, I TOOK IT, BACK IN 1981. I GUESS THEY ALL THOUGHT IT WAS A WORTHY IMAGE OR THEY WOULDN’T HAVE PUT THEIR NAMES ON IT.
