The Groomsport anchor
The harbour at Groomsport is used almost exclusively by small pleasure craft. There was a lifeboat station from 1858 to 1920. The old lifeboathouse (top right) is still a boathouse (now under municipal ownership). The origin of the anchor is not known. It was brought ashore by a local fishing boat in the mid-60’s.

The war memorial, Groomsport
Not on the same scale as its cousin in Ward Park, Bangor the war memorial in Groomsport is, nevertheless, a fitting tribute to those who died in “the war to end all wars”.

The Pier at Groomsport harbour
One Fredrich Herman, Duke of Schomberg, landed here in 1689 as head of King William’s army and the rest – as they say – is history. It has never been fully documented but it is believed that some of the Scottish soldiers in his army stayed after the battle eventually settling in various parts of what is now NI.
