THE JANUS STONE, FERMANAGH, NORTHERN IRELAND – (click here for full story)

Went out and about one day on the search for the Janus Stone! What exactly is the Janus Stone? The Janus Stone, which is on Boa Island, County Fermanagh is believed to go back as far as Pagan time in Ireland. As it pre-dates Christianity it is believed to be over 2023 years old.

FERGUSON MEMORIAL STATUE AND GARDENS

GEORGE ‘HARRY’ FERGUSON This was one of those really nice surprises that you come across just randomly driving around Northern Ireland.

Harry was born near Dromore in County, Down, November 4, 1884. He was the son of James Ferguson and Mary Bell and was the 4th of 11 children. It was obvious from the time he was young that he was
