OAK ROOM

OAK ROOM
The walls are covered from floor to ceiling with solid Irish Oak, most of it is dark oak but here and there you get a lighter shade of oak.
To the left of the picture you can see one of the family paintings. Next to your right is the fireplace which was also made of oak with
the grate in one frame. Now on touching a secret spring the whole massive frame swung out to reveal a hidden recess. To the far right
you can see a very large chair, this is in fact the " Speakers Chair " from the Irish House of Commons. Also in this room was the
original oak door from "All Saints Parish Church" which was riddled with bullet holes from the Battle of Antrim.

OUT FOR A SPIN
I'm sure you have heard of the expression " Do you think I came up the Lough in a Bubble?"
Well back in 1964 these two girls Lena and Evelyn Reade went down to the Glens of Antrim in a Bubble! It was of course the good old Bubble car which had three wheels one at the back and two at the front and as you can see the steering wheel was on the right - but they were great to drive.

Standing on the pavement outside her home beside her car on the Old Dublin road is Celia Madden.
Now students of Antrim Tec fondly remember Celia for Maddens use to have a small cafe at the side of the bar
where Celia gave them lovely soup during their school break.
