THE TEMPLETOWN ARMS
Here we have the Templeton Arms in Templepatrick back in 1930. The building has gone through many changes through the years - most notably
the 'Pig 'n' Chicken' and, more recently, the Templeton Hotel. The presence of the wonderful vintage car in the foreground, and another coming in the
distance, underlined the growing importance of motorised transport during the 1930's. Incidentally, the man standing with his arms folded is John Young.

TEMPLEPATRICK VILLAGE
Here we have Templepatrick Village in 1914.
On the left is the police station and leaning against it is a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary.
Further up three boys are sitting on a windowsill and the building behind the little girl sitting on the stool is the Post Office.
The road sweeper has been when looking at the piles of dirt on the right.

TEMPLEPATRICK VILLAGE
This serene shot of Templepatrick village was taken in the 1930's, and the notable absence of cars is a nice reminder of a more sedate age. The second building on the right is the police station, nestled beside the Post Office. If you look closely at the picture you might just make out the shape of a bike propped up outside. I've learned that it was used by the Telegram Boy Bobby McCullough who, as luck would have it, is actually pictured in the centre. Trundling down the street towards the main Antrim to Belfast Road on the tractor is John Gourley.

TWELFTH MILESTONE PETROL STATION
Standing in front of their petrol pumps is Sam Adair with his wife at the 12th Milestone in Templepatrick.
The sign behind them says: Please ring for Attendant.

TEMPLEPATRICK
Here we have Ann McQuillan in 1961 from Antrim at as you can see Templepatrick.
Perhaps Ann was waiting on a bus to Belfast while behind her heading in the same direction is a Ford Anglia.
