Anne Marie McAleese with the people, places and stories that make Northern Ireland unique.
Last on
Aghadowey Presbyterian Church
Almost 300 years ago, 1,000 people set sail from Coleraine and Portrush on their way to a new life in America.
They were led by a man called James McGregor, the minister from Aghadowey Presbyterian Church.
There is now聽a blue plaque in his honour on the wall of the church, where the Reverend Robert Kane is the minister today. He and local historian George Dallas tell Anne-Marie McAleese the reasons for the great 1718 migration and more about the Reverend McGregor.
Beatrix Potter
Back to 1935聽- and a unique connection between a woman in County Antrim, a man in Belfast and an author in the Lake District.
That is because of a series of letters written between the Right Hon. Samuel Cunningham, business man, politician, farmer - and author and聽environmentalist Beatrix Potter.
Miranda Tisdale is Samuel's great grand daughter and, from her home near Muckamore, she tells Helen Mark about the friendship between Miss Potter and Mr Cunningham.
