You wouldn't think that this immaculate dwelling was once a primary school and it holds another surprise. One of the former pupils was Gordon Goody, better known for being one of the Great Train robbers in 1963. He was described as a man whose huge figure and tattooed arms, gave him a fearsome reputation amongst his fellow thieves. Known to the others as "The Ulsterman", he was convicted to 30 years in prison.
