Togher Calling! - This Is Where I Live!

This post will serve as a placeholder for photographs submitted by people of their area of residence in Togher standing next to or near the actual street sign. All that is required is that the person actually lived there for a period in the past or is still residing there. Billy O'Brien of the Togher Historical Association & Blog decided to claim the newly named Deanrock Avenue as this is not a residential address and simply refers to the access road encircling Deanrock Estate.

Togher Calling! - Meet The Locals

To start off the New Year of 2015 with a bang , the Blog decided to conduct an online poll of local residents of the Parish and District on the " I'm From Togher , Boy! " Facebook Group. This fun call out carried one rule - once a person ( either currently resident or ex - pat ) stated their name and their place name i.e. Road , Street , Avenue , Estate etc - it could not be claimed a second time. Soon the race was on between members of the page to quickly stake out their particular place of birth or past abodes. All in all , a very good response which covered almost the entire area of Togher from Ardmanning Avenue right up to Spur Hill giving a fantastic representation of People who lived or still reside on particular thoroughfares. Below the aerial map indicates the areas claimed ( in their entirety ) by respondents with the places highlighted in red. The large red circle indicates a wide area which received most claims with Spur Hill being the furthest south to call back.The blog would like to thank the respondents for their enthusiasm in this first call out to the most important aspect of any Community - its people! Following the map is the actual list of people. See if your name and home is there!
