A cast-iron grave marker with the inscription “THE FAMILY BURYING GROUND OF WILLIAM J WATSON BELFAST 1928”. This one was made by Combe Barbour of Belfast – a business which traded (1845/1955) as The Falls Foundry from Second Street, off the Falls Road The date is interesting, showing that the manufacture of such products continued well into the 20th century. The foundry was, perhaps, better known for the production of textile machinery. Image shows the maker’s name.
