Place & story
Scottish vessels at the quay
Glenarm exported large quantities of limestone in Samuel Lewis’s 1837 account of Tickmacrevan parish. Scottish vessels came for the stone and brought coal and general merchandise in return. The trade connected the parish’s mineral resources with supplies arriving by sea. Lewis also noted a coal mine near Glenarm that had not worked profitably, without describing every local indication of coal as a producing mine. [2]
