That was how the poor lived. It is their home made of sod and thatched roof.

Niall McAuley John A. Coffey CASSIDY PHOTOGRAPHY I have some memory there were houses (is that the correct word?) very similar to this one built on farming land in early USA history? Perhaps by Irish settlers.

Mwahahahaaa! So, what've we got? Looking west or south-west. It's a turf bog. Village on a hill behind. Another village at the foot of the hill with what looks like a public toilet but is probably some sort of municipal building - a school maybe? I shall see what I can find.

In Google or Bing aerial views, the bogs appear bright orange or brown. To the East of Ballymena, the countryside gets too hilly. I fancy this bog to the West.
