Local heritage and history walking tours based in Ballymena, North Antrim and the Glens

Delighted to be able to help Bann Maine West Cluster in promoting Damian Clarke's book 'Remembering' a great local publication!

The book is the outcome of a Bann Maine West Cluster history project to record the major events of World War One and it's impact on the local community.

The book connects some of the local participants in the conflict like Tommy Haughton and Jack Anderson.

Bann Maine West Cluster is a group of local community groups brought together by Mid and East Antrim Borough Council as a 'community cluster' building community relationships in the villages of Cullybackey, Portglenone, Ahoghill, Gracehill, Galgorm and the communities of Tullygarley, Cloney, Hillstown and the Grange.
