A Glimpse at Glenariffe
by Robt Sharpe and Charlie McAllister
This large A5 book (254 pages) was published originally in 1997 by these two local historians and gives a vivid word-portrait of this most picturesque of the nine Antrim Glens, its social and geographical history. It identifies the various townlands or districts that make up the Glen, each with its own distinct character. Sharpe and McAllister spent many years collecting the ancient placenames of Glenariffe, including their old spelling, pronounciation and meaning as remembered by the old people of the area. Much attention is given to former farming practices, many now forgotten in this age of mechanisation. This is a book you will want to return to time and time again.
