    Plus, he/she has a bunch of recent pics of Ballyshannon.

    bettlebrox,

    Once again you are on the ball, even raising threads that I personally had forgotten about, but which I still believe are important to the North-West forum.

    P. :cool:

    Do you remember my Uncle Liam Arthurs, Fish & chipper in Lifford, and Devines Tea premises (in Lifford) and grocery shop in Strabane's Main Street, My Mothers sister was Mamie Devine ( Nee McElhinney) from Convoy. I went to Melmount School for a short time, but preferred the Tech in Stranorlar.

    I thought the Cinema in the main street in Strabane was the greatest.

    Strabane is and always was a very special place to me, and will always hold a very special place in my heart.

    God bless.

    Hi I'm researching the family tree and my cousin told me that we are related to the "Strabane Tea Devines" would be interested in hearing any information, swaping family info etc. PM me.

    My late father was born in Carriegart 1924 and always told me the story that when he was a teenager he would be cycling into Downings to hang out with his friends and would often pass his old Uncle Barney coming the other way to have a beer with his cronies; they would shout hello to each other as they passed. About a month after Barney had died my father was cycling down the road and there in other direction comes 'Barney on his bike'. My dad decided that he would cycle on past and he swore Barney hailed him as they passed:eek:

    Now it wouldn't be like a Donegal man to blether the lugs off of a child with a tall tale would it?
