Armagh St Patricks Cathedral

Burns Margaret, on June 14, said:

These wonderful photos bring back happy childhood memories of my summer holidays with my grandma and namesake, Margaret Burns on Bandbrook Hill. My mother and sister and I would arrive each summer by boat and be transported to Bandbrook Hill in a horse and buggy. I loved being there, feeling the freedom from school uniforms and rigid rules and regulations in London. We played on the railway tracks, in the fields eating wheat from the stalks, and picking mushrooms freshly popped up around the cow fields. We spent many hours up at the cathedral, climbing the steps and entering the dark doorway. There was a spring with an iron pump and cup attached to a chain. That water was ice cold and wonderful. Some of my happiest childhood memories come from Armagh and the friends we had there during and after WWII. My family & I left England in 1952 and have lived in the USA since. I chose the Burns name as my surname many years ago.
