Strand Road, PORTSTEWART, BT55 7PF

It has been re-furbished recently.

It is along the sea front.

Looking SSE in the direction of the Panoramic Wheel, it was closed last weekend. I would have thought that it could have been going to the end of the high season this month

Located along the promenade at The Crescent

Located at the start of the cliff walk - it includes the following text: This end of the Crescent is dominated by the view of the Promenade opposite 3nd the 'Castle' above. This view of Portstewart has sight of the four main churches in the town, which are. Portstewart Presbyterian Church, Portstewart Methodist Church, Star of the Sea Roman Catholic Chapel and Agherton Parish Church, Above ts "Rock Castle" which was built by landlord Henry O'Hara in 7834, This was home to the O'Hara and Montagu families and others before being sold to the Dominican Order in 1917. becoming firstly a Convent School and later the co-educational Dominican College, At the bottom of the rock face here, on a site once occupied by a row of thatched fishermen's cottages known as "Bone Row", stands a sports hall belonging to the College, Formerly the "Top Hat" and "Strand" ballroom, the building holds many musical memories from the 1950s and 1960s for the young people of those times. The steps lead to a well-trodden path known as the "Cliff Walk", which leads to Portstewart Strand. The basalt wall adjoining the route was constructed during the mid 1800s as a famine relief project to provide work for the needy.

Henry Campbell Liken McCullough (21 July 1943 – 14 June 2016) was a Northern Irish guitarist, singer and songwriter. He was best known for his work as a member of Spooky Tooth, the Grease Band and Paul McCartney and Wings. He also performed and recorded as a solo artist and session musician. He first came to prominence in the early 1960s as the teenage lead guitarist with the Skyrockets showband from Enniskillen. In 1964, with three other members of the Skyrockets, he left and formed a new showband fronted by South African born vocalist Gene Chetty, which they named Gene and the Gents. I heard them performing in the Royal Arms Hotel in Omagh at the height of the show bands era.
