Down / Men who built the Mourne Wall
« on: Friday 03 February 17 16:55 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,
This is maybe a bit off topic, but I feel it still sits within family history in Co.Down, particularly the Mournes area.
I do not live in Co.Down, but I am regular visitor to the Mournes with a passion for climbing in the Mournes and its history. I feel that there is not enough coverage or information surrounding the men who built the Mourne Wall. I am sure there are magnificent stories during the building of the wall between 1904 and 1922, I would like to research the builders and if enough informatuon is obtained, put this into a website to allow more lovers of the Mourne Mountains to freely access.
Please get in touch if you have any photos, stories, documents etc which can be pulled together in one place to give an understanding of the hardwork and skills was required from these men to build the Mournes Wall. You may be a family relative, or know some information on the topic, any discussion is welcome.
Thanks,
