The third of a series of Zoom webinar conversations which are exploring the connection between history, language and place in the Craigavon area from the tranquil shores of South Lough Neagh through the urban centres of Portadown, Brownlow and Lurgan and everywhere in between.

In this conversation our panel will reflect on the history of Lurgan through their own personal memories and reminiscences. During the conversation the lost and colloquial place names of the town will be revealed providing an insight into the hidden history and geography of the town.
