Today we have a selection of photographs which date from 1992.
One shows tiny tots from Doagh Mothers and Toddlers Group plant cherry tree saplings in the grounds of Doagh Methodist Church with help of leader Jane McKendry and founder member Maureen Duddy in March 1992. The trees marked the group’s tenth anniversary.
Meanwhile, in March 1992 Belfast’s wildlife got a new campaigner when television personality Jimmy Ellis launched a conservation initiative, Nature in the City, which was the first strategy of its kind in Ireland and was the result of extensive co-operation and consultation between government departments, district councils and conservation groups. Mr Ellis is pictured with Carrs Glen Primary School pupils Lindsay Thompson and Natalie Pritchard launching the new conservation strategy.
Also featured in this selection of old 1992 photographs of the granting of the Freedom of the Borough of Larne in March 1992. The occasion came less than 24 hours after the House of Commons rubber-stamped the disbandment of the UDR in its present form.
Have a look through our old photographs and see who you can spot.
