Appeal: Over the last year, the Parish has been compiling the history of Derrylin & Teemore. We have information about these areas dating from the year 1636 up to the present day. We hope to put up some visual displays for people to view and we kindly ask that if anyone has any
photos to share them with us, please. Photographs can be of people, families, homes and gardens, buildings/businesses (cinemas, pubs, hotels, butchers, shops, salons etc), Churches, schools, club and society pictures or general views of Derrylin & Teemore over the years.
Did you know in the 1870s, John Grey Vesey Porter opened up 'Knockninny Hotel'. He commissioned Belleek Pottery to design & produce the tableware. We think 4 plates are still in existence....does anyone have any information on them? @ECMFCM
