Description
Old Larne: A History of the Town and its Surroundings Larne's early history was marked by conflict, with invasions by the Vikings and Scots, and the 1641 Rebellion. However, from the mid-nineteenth century, the town's fortunes improved with the arrival of the Industrial Revolution. The harbour became a key part of the local economy, attracting tourism and trade, and many of Larne's hotels are featured in this book, along with images of the railway station, steamers at the harbour, local streets, schools, and nearby villages. Over 50 photographs from the early years of the twentieth century showcase the town's growth during its economic boom. These historic images provide a unique glimpse into Larne's past, offering a fascinating insight into the town's development over time.
