Dedication
Dedicated to both the remembered and forgotten, who once inhabited the homes and farmsteads, walked the "loanins" and toiled the fields in the village and townlands of Glenavy and district, making their last earthly journey along the "loanin" to their chosen place of rest.
GlenavyHistory.com
Welcome to GlenavyHistory.com, a unique website designed to provide an insight into the rich history of the village and surrounding district of Glenavy, situated in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
Ongoing development in the area continues to sweep away former homesteads, farms, buildings and green pastures confining those places to memory.
You are cordially invited to take a browse through the village, townlands and district and explore the past.
GlenavyHistory.com aims to capture those days of yesteryear, and piece together the jigsaw of past generations using a variety of sources to include newspapers, photographs, postcards, local ballads, poems and memories. Here you will find tales of ancient times, ring forts, folklore, folk charmers and water diviners.
Over time GlenavyHistory.com will develop into a book without cover, chapter or ending and will expand as more material is added to the site.
Please do make contact if you have any material or memories you would like to share with others about Glenavy and the surrounding district.
Please do call back again.
