Back by popular demand, this selection of 100 unique photographs from a collection of 1,100 negatives provides a window into a lost world of pre-First World War Ballymena, Ulster and beyond with intimate family photographs and more artistically inspired images set alongside an intriguing record of everyday life beyond the walls of the demesne.  A free souvenir brochure is available for visitors.
