Ballymagee Street in Bangor, County Down on a fine day with an omnibus complete with destination plate to put our location on the map, so to speak! I do love posting photographs like this with so much going on, shops, awnings, clothing, traffic etc. The title comes from the song The Auld Orange Flute Oh, it’s six miles from Bangor to Donaghadee Now Bob, the deceiver, he took us all in He married a Papist called Bridget McGinn Turned Papish himself and forsook the old cause That gave us our freedom, religion and laws Photographer: Robert FrenchCollection:Lawrence Photograph Collection Date: Circa 1865 - 1914 NLI Ref: L_ROY_11218 You can also view this image, and many thousands of others, on the NLI’s catalogue at catalogue.nli.ie
