People of Maghera – What did “Craig” do that was so bad he got this park named after him? 😂

  1. Craig-a-dearc – The rock of the eye or cave. In the west part of the parish south of Craigmore and west of Largantogher . Both the Milltown and Blackburn streams flow across the townland , there is no caves here. Other derivatives – Creag-an-dige- The rock of the dike and Creag-radoire – The rock of the will of the wisp. 348 acres.

  2. Well to the Dub that brought the gun into modern politics, I think it’s appropriately named.

  3. Oh dear .. this brings back bad memories .. we were collecting a friend’s girlfriend who lived there, back in the 1980s, and got stopped by a british army patrol near Dungannon…
    Soldier ” Where are you going?”
    Friend “Craigadick rd”
    Soldier “right smart lad .. all out, we’ll be searching the car”
    The rest of us to friend “Could you not have just said Maghera”

    It was a cold hour getting the car strip searched and put back together again 😞
