A history of people, places and houses
Bullock: lands, harbour and castle. A talk by John Martin on 3rd March. Cistercian monks from St Mary’s Abbey in Dublin established a farm estate at Bullock about 1000 years ago, developing a fishing harbour and a protective castle.
This talk by Peter Pearson on 3rd February will cover the Royal Irish, the Royal St. George and the National, formerly known as the Edward Yacht Club.
The area was unique at the time as it contained a sizeable number of Unionists and constitutional Nationalists. This talk will focus on a number of specific events which took place locally during 1916-1921.
