Historic Holywood Library Co Down
I'm just a few miles from home over in Holywood Co Down. I'm on High Street which runs through the centre of town.
This is the historic and quirky building that now houses Hollywood library.
northdowntourism.com
At the Maypole turn left along High Street passing the fine building of the Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church on your right. The building from 1849, also by Charles Lanyon, with its fine Doric columns is built in the style of Andrea Palladio (Palladianism) who was arguably the most influential architect of the Italian Renaissance. Almost directly opposite is High Street
Presbyterian Church (1858). Approximately 50m past the
Presbyterian Church is Holywood Library.
Holywood Library
Holywood Library, a listed building, was founded as primary and secondary schools in the 1860’s. Formerly known as the Sullivan Schools, it was where the renowned 20th century naturalist and
historian Robert Lloyd Praeger and his sister Sophia Rosamond Praeger began their education. Outside the library you can see three sculptures entitled the “Pillars of Holywood” by Tim Shutter, who has worked with Anthony Gormley on a commission for the British Library. The sculptures, which were commissioned
by Holywood Arts Trust and received funding through the Arts Council of Northern Ireland Lottery through the Public ArtProgramme, depict the legacy of the town’s 1,400-year history from the 7th century church, to the invasion of
the Anglo-Normans in the 12th century and the domicile of the wealthy Belfast industrialists of the 19th century.
The Praeger Family
Egmont Apjohn Praeger was born on 14 May 1872 in Holywood son of Willem Emilius Praeger and Maria Praeger (nee Patterson) married on 13 November 1862 in First Presbyterian Ch, Rosemary St, Belfast.
Willem Emilius Praeger was born on 1 February 1835 in The Hague, Holland where his parents operated a linen business. Willem moved to Ireland and worked for the firm of Preston, Smyth & Co (linen manufacturers and merchants) in Belfast.
Willem and Maria Praeger lived in The Cres, Holywood. In 1868 the Praeger family moved to Woodburn House, Croft Road in the townland of Ballymenoch, Holywood. ( Ulster History Circle plaque commemorating Rosamund Praeger, Sculptor, (1867 – 1954) and Lloyd Praeger, Naturalist & Historian, (1865 – 1953). )
Next door lived Maria Praeger’s brother Sir Robert Lloyd Patterson JP.
Willem and Maria Praeger had six children:
William Emilius (born in 1863 and became Professor of Biology at Kalamazoo College in Michigan USA)
Robert Lloyd (born in 1865 and became a naturalist and historian)
Sophia Rosamond (born 15 April 1867 and became a sculptor.
Hendrich John (Harry, born 22 January 1869 and moved to the USA)
Egmont Apjohn (born 14 May 1872)
Owen Maurice (born 26 May 1874 and became a doctor; died in 1905 aged 31)
When Willem Praeger died on 25 April 1881 (aged 46) the Praeger family moved to the townland of Ballycultra.
Maria Praeger died on 8 June 1930 (aged 90).
Egmont Apjohn Praeger attended Mr McAlester’s School at Woodburn, Holywood from 1885 to 1886 (Charles McAlester was the local Unitarian Minister).
During the Great War Egmont Praeger served in the Royal Navy.
He died of a heart attack in London in 1919.
Cheba Street Art, Library Street Belfast
I'm in Library street just off Royal avenue and I've come across a wonderful example of Cheba Art. I had included this footage in with another video but i decided this guy's outstanding work warrented a video all to himself.
Cheba (°1983, Bristol, United Kingdom)
Cheba began painting the streets of Bristol in the early 2000's. Shortly after picking up a spray can, he quickly became addicted to painting the city's landscape and has been a long-standing figure in his hometown of Bristol's thriving street art culture.
Cheba has gone on to showcase his work across the World alongside illustrious figures from the world of street art including the 'Crimes of Passion' show at the Royal west Academy of Arts and more recently The House of Commons. His work has also featured in a plethora of publications including 'Graffiti World', 'The Art of Rebellion', 'Children of the Can' and 'Banksy's Bristol' to name a few.
Cheba's recent work is heavily inspired by Space, specifically the Hubble Telescope photos. His works depict parts of the cosmos like nebulas and star clusters but because the subject is so otherworldly and unfamiliar it blurs the line between the representational and the abstract. Cheba combines the graffiti staple of spray paint with more traditional medias such as oil, acrylic and ink and in recent years experimenting with resin. Painting on layer after layer with various mediums creating nebula like formations sometimes based on real nebulas. Using multiple layers of resin, to create thick paintings that appear almost sculptural, they need to be seen in the flesh to capture the depth of each piece which can be seen differently depending on the angle the work is viewed.
Cheba has donated many works but mostnotably he was selected for two charitable fundraising public art exhibitions, Gromits Unleashed and Wow Gorillas, alongside household names such as Sir Quentin Blake, Peter Brookes & Peter Blake. At auction Cheba's sculptures raised £28,000 and £10,000 respectively, among the highest selling at both auctions.
LONDON WALK | King's Cross to The British Library and Euston Road | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour of King's Cross and Euston Road, including The British Library.
Experience all of the sights and sounds as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring King’s Cross and Euston Road. The route begins at Battle Bridge Place, opposite St. Pancras International, then goes through King’s Cross railway station to King’s Cross Square, along Euston Road, and ending at London’s Fire Brigade station, close to Euston Station.
Sights seen along the tour include the stunning roof inside London King’s Cross, St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel London, and The British Library including the 'Newton' bronze sculpture by Eduardo Paolozzi.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!

Belfast Upper Cregagh Road WW1 & 2 Street Names
I'm studying Google Maps again.
I have discovered that there are quite a number ofstreets/avenues that were named after WW1 Battles/Places eg Somme, Picardy, Thiepval. Two streets were named after the Shorts Sunderland Flying Boat/Bomber and the Stirling Bomber. Both these aircraft were manufactured in Belfast.
Another two roads were named after Field Marshal Mongomery, 17 November 1887 – 24 March 1976), nicknamed Monty and The Spartan General. 'Monty' was a senior British Army officer who fought in both the First World War and the Second World War and was particulary remembered for his North African desert campaign fought against Field Marshal Erwin Rommel ( the Desert Fox. ) Field Marshal Mongomery's family came from Donegal.
The second road is Alanbrooke Road.
Field Marshal Alan Francis Brooke, 1st Viscount Alanbrooke, KG, GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO & Bar (23 July 1883 – 17 June 1963), was Chief of the Imperial General Staff (CIGS), the professional head of the British Army, during the Second World War, and was promoted to field marshal in 1944.
Like Montgomery, Alanbrooke had a very strong Ulster family connection. He was the seventh and youngest child of Sir Victor Brooke, 3rd Baronet, of Colebrooke Park, Brookeborough, County Fermanagh, Ulster, Ireland, and the former Alice Bellingham, second daughter of Sir Alan Bellingham, 3rd Baronet, of Castle Bellingham in County Louth.
Walking Past Belmont Road Shops East Belfast
The Belmont Road shops facing the iconic Strand Cinema are a firm favourite shopping destination for many folks in East Belfast. Many of these shops are family run businesses. Many have been on the road, for as long as anyone can remember. Others are newcomer 'blow ins'. The Belmont Road shops are surviving against stiff competition from the big supermarkets, out of town shopping centres and more recently the power and convenience of the internet. Who knows how long the road will survive?
Today, though, with the run up to Christmas the outlook looked good.
The amazing City Hall of Belfast, Northern Ireland
At the central Donegall Square are the Town Hall (ground breaking ceremony in 1898, opening in 1906, be visited as part of guided tours) and the Linen Hall Library, a public library that was founded in 1788. Here the interested parties to all armed struggle of the IRA and the peace process.
Bernard MacLaverty on Belfast Public Library
Belfast Public Library and Central Reference Library is one of the set piece buildings of Royal Avenue. Bernard MacLaverty talks about its importance to the city and its writers.
Ancient Path Victoria Road Holywood Co Down
I'm a few miles from home over in old Holywood and I'm in the recently designated Holywood Conservation Area.
To find the upper entrance to this hidden pathway walk up along Holywood's Victoria Road for approx. 250 m, Pass Brook street on the right continue on and 50 m further, in a corner in to the left beside no 65 Victoria road is the upper gateway to an ancient pathway leading down on to the old Bangor Road. I do not know the name of this pathway but some residents have given it their own name of the scary path. i canfind no online reference to this old pathway either. The pathway meanders downward for a distane of at least 300m. Some would claim that this ancient hidden pathway has been there from the early 1800s.

Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Lurgan is a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The town is near the southern shore of Lough Neagh and in the north-eastern corner of the county. Lurgan is about 18 miles (29 km) south-west of Belfast and is linked to the city by both the M1 motorway and the Belfast–Dublin railway line. It had a population of about 23,000 at the 2001 Census. It is within the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon district.
Lurgan is characteristic of many Plantation of Ulster settlements, with its straight, wide planned streets and rows of cottages. It is the site of a number of historic listed buildings including Brownlow House and the former town hall.
Historically the town was known as a major centre for the production of textiles (mainly linen) after the industrial revolution and it continued to be a major producer of textiles until that industry steadily declined in the 1990s and 2000s. The development of the 'new city' of Craigavon had a major impact on Lurgan in the 1960s when much industry was attracted to the area. The expansion of Craigavon's Rushmere Retail Park in the 2000s has affected the town's retail trade further.
Lurgan sits in a relatively flat part of Ireland by the south east shore of Lough Neagh. The two main formations in north Armagh are an area of estuarine clays by the shore of the lough, and a mass of basalt farther back. The earliest human settlements in the area were to the northwest of the present day town near the shore of the lough. When the land was handed to the Brownlow family, they initially settled near the lough at Annaloist, but later settled where the town was eventually built. The oldest part of the town, the main street, is built on a long ridge in the townland (baile fearainn) of Lurgan. A neighbouring hill is the site of Brownlow House, which overlooks Lurgan Park.
Lurgan has historically been an industrial town in which the linen industry predominated as a source of employment during the Industrial Revolution, and is said to have employed as many as 18,000 handloom weavers at the end of the 19th century, a figure significantly higher than the town's resident population at the time.
Lurgan town centre is distinctive for its wide main street, Market Street, one of the widest in Ireland, which is dominated at one end by Shankill Church in Church Place. A grey granite hexagonal temple-shaped war memorial sits at the entrance to Church Place, topped by a bronze-winged statue representing the spirit of Victorious Peace. A marble pillar at the centre displays the names of over 400 men from the town who lost their lives in the First World War.
At the junction of Market Street and Union Street is the former Lurgan Town Hall, a listed building erected in 1868. It was the first site of the town's library in 1891, was temporarily used as a police station in 1972 when it was handed to the Police Authority, and is today owned by the Mechanics' Institute and is available for conferences and community functions.
Lurgan railway station opened by the Ulster Railway on 18 November 1841, connecting the town to Belfast Great Victoria Street in the east and Portadown and Armagh in the west. The Great Northern Railway of Ireland provided further access to the west of Ulster which was then closed in the 1950s and 1960s from Portadown railway station. Presently Lurgan railway station is run by Northern Ireland Railways with direct trains to Belfast Great Victoria Street and as part of the Dublin-Belfast railway line. The Enterprise runs through Lurgan from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central, and a change of train may be required at Portadown to travel to Newry or Dublin Connolly.
( Lurgan - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting Lurgan . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Lurgan - UK

Johnny the Jig Sculpture by S. R. Praeger, Holywood
This is the very famous Holywood, Johnny the Jig Sculpture, by local sculptress Sophia Rosamund Praeger.
It was her gift to the town and it commemorate the sad death in 1952 of local boy scout Fergus Morton. Fergus was killed in a road accident while out collecting for 'Bob a Job'.
Johnny The Jig”, is a bronze figure of a boy playing an accordion. It is very appropriately placed beside a children’s playground near the town centre.
This sculpture forms part of Holywood’s identity.
Sophia Rosamond Praeger, MBE, HRHA, MA (1867 – 1954) was an Irish artist, sculptor, illustrator and writer. She was born in Holywood, Co Down
She was the daughter of a linen exporter originally from The Hague. With her brother Robert Lloyd Praeger (later a famous naturalist and director of the National Library of Ireland), she attended Sullivan Upper school at Holywood, Co Down. Following a period at the Government School of Art in Belfast, she attended Slade in London at the age of 17.
Returning to Northern Ireland she worked from a studio in Belfast before purchasing her own studio in Holywood.
In addition to illustrating children’s books and providing botanical illustrations for her brother’s work, she exhibited sculptural works throughout Ireland and Britain.
Examples of her work can be seen in the Ulster Museum and the Ulster Folk Museum, as well as the Royal Victoria Hospital, St Anne’s Cathedral, the Ulster Hospital, Donald, and the Queen’s University of Belfast.

Places to see in ( Belfast - UK )
Belfast is Northern Ireland’s capital. It was the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, which famously struck an iceberg and sunk in 1912. This legacy is recalled in the renovated dockyards' Titanic Quarter, which includes the Titanic Belfast, an aluminium-clad museum reminiscent of a ship’s hull, as well as shipbuilder Harland & Wolff’s Drawing Offices and the Titanic Slipways, which now host open-air concerts.
Belfast is the capital and largest city of Northern Ireland, the second largest on the island of Ireland, and the heart of the tenth largest Primary Urban Area in the United Kingdom. Belfast was a centre of the Irish linen, tobacco-processing, rope-making and shipbuilding industries: in the early 20th century, Harland and Wolff, which built the RMS Titanic, was the world's biggest and most productive shipyard. Belfast played a key role in the Industrial Revolution, and was a global industrial centre until the latter half of the 20th century. It has sustained a major aerospace and missiles industry since the mid 1930s. Industrialisation and the inward migration it brought made Belfast Ireland's biggest city at the beginning of the 20th century.
Today, Belfast remains a centre for industry, as well as the arts, higher education, business, and law, and is the economic engine of Northern Ireland. The city suffered greatly during the Troubles, but latterly has undergone a sustained period of calm, free from the intense political violence of former years, and substantial economic and commercial growth. Additionally, Belfast city centre has undergone considerable expansion and regeneration in recent years, notably around Victoria Square.
Belfast is served by two airports: George Best Belfast City Airport in the city, and Belfast International Airport 15 miles (24 km) west of the city. Belfast is a major port, with commercial and industrial docks dominating the Belfast Lough shoreline, including the Harland and Wolff shipyard, and is listed by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network (GaWC) as a global city.

The World Cruise Ship First Belfast Visit
I'm down on Belfast Lough and Victoria Channel watching a very special cruise ship making it's way into Pollock Dock. From the outside this cruise ship looks like every other cruise ship yet it is unique.
This cruise ship called the World is the largest privately owned residential ship/yacht in the world!
This will be the World’s first visit to Belfast.
The World attracts residents from about 45 countries. The 150-200 folks live on board as the ship travels, staying in most ports several days. Some residents choose to live on board full-time while others visit periodically throughout the year. The ship is operated by ROW Management, Ltd., headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.
The World was the idea of Knut U. Kloster, whose family had a long history in the marine industry. The management company of the ship is responsible for operations and administration, including hiring the employees. The residents, however are fully included through their elected board of directors and a network of committees. They provide guidance to the management about the ship's itinerary, finances, and lifestyle.
The ship has a large lobby, deli and grocery store, a boutique and showroom, fitness center, billiard room, golf simulator and putting greens, a full-sized tennis court!, jogging track, a spa, swimming pool, and cocktail lounges.
There are six restaurants for dining that supplement the kitchens or kitchenettes in most of the residences. For on-board entertainment there is a movie theater, library and music performances. In addition to shore excursions, various classes have been offered on board. The World provides internet access in each residence.
In September 2012, the ship became the largest passenger vessel at the time to transit the Northwest Passage.The World, carried 481 passengers and crew, for 26 days and 4,800 nautical miles (8,900 km) at sea. It's route followed in the path of Captain Roald Amundsen, the first sailor to complete the journey in 1906.

LONDON WALK | Brompton Road, Knightsbridge from the V&A to Harrods and Harvey Nichols | England
A first-person perspective London walk tour of Brompton Road in Knightsbridge, from the Victoria and Albert Museum to Harrods and Harvey Nichols.
See all the sights as Watched Walker (yes, I’m talking about myself in the third person) takes us on a walking tour through the streets of London, featuring the Brompton district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. The route begins outside the V&A on Cromwell Gardens, then along Thurloe Place, which becomes Brompton Road by Brompton Oratory, this road is followed, taking in Harrods and Harvey Nichols, where the tour concludes.
Sights seen along the tour include the Victoria and Albert Museum, statue of John Henry Cardinal Newman, Brompton Oratory (The London Oratory), various high street shops and restaurants, and finally Harrods and Harvey Nichols department stores.
And in each video I've hidden a blinking eye, can you spot it? (It could appear more than once). In addition to the blinking eye, I've also added the Watched Walker logo to various scenes–it could be on buildings, vehicles or any other objects, so keep an eye out for it too!
Footage recorded October 2017.
