A question for locals in and around Coalisland...
« on: Monday 17 August 20 15:14 BST (UK) »
Hey all,

So I've just run across a wonderful piece of autobiographical writing which confirms my 3x great grandfather as coming from, quote: '[the area] between Coalisland and the Washing Bay - either the high bridge or the big bridge, I'm not sure'.

Do any locals know to what bridge this might be referring to, and where it might be? I know there was once a tall railway bridge called Carson's Bridge somewhere in the area, might that be the one?

Thanks very much in advance!
