Antrim A22

ANTRIM NATIONAL SCHOOL
This is the class of 1894 of Antrim National School.
Look at the stern expression on the Headmaster on the left and the master on the right. No wonder none of the pupils are smiling, sadly none are known.

ANTRIM POSTCARD
This postcard has not been used so all I can tell you is that it was made after 1935.
This was called a novelty postcard as there is a little flap on the front that opens to reveal folded up four or five tiny paper photos of Antrim.

ANTRIM POSTCARD
Taken from a postcard it shows the Round Tower and Antrim Castle, but what I am interested in
is what is the structure in the Sixmilewater river next to the Castle. Was there a bridge there in 1907?
The card is postmarked; Antrim, 22nd August 1908. To; Mrs. C rore, 507 Fortingate Street, Belfast.

ANTRIM POSTCARD
Here we have a vintage postcard commemorating the great fire which destroyed Shane's Castle and started accidently on May 15, 1816. Legend had it that the
banshee, who was called Kathleen, was seen hovering above the fire. The banshee was said to appear to hearld the death of a member of the O'Neill clan.
Incidentally, folklore has it that Kathleen took on this grim task after she was abucted by the 'little people' after her father hacked away a fairy thorn on the
estate. The haunting image was used on a postcard - and this one was sent from Randalstown on July 27, 1915 to a Miss E. Morris in Bangor.
The card read: Your letter arrived alright but havn't time to writr you one back, I have written my father so you will get any news but I might see you all on Sat,
of course you need't depend on that it might be the one after that. So you need't write till after, (Any Sport), Do you hear from ( A.B.) now?
I had one from Nellie. Love from Mina xxxx
