Armagh hosted the first-ever All-Ireland Road Bowls Championship in 1963. Armagh’s Danny McPartland was the winner, beating Derry Kenny of Cork on the final shot by just 11 yards.     In July 1926 William McCrea, a farmer from Loughgall, claimed to have reached the grand old age of 107.     In 1894 there was concern about a marked increase in the prevalence of lunacy in Armagh. It was suggested that one of the causes was drinking poor-quality tea.

A reliable reference book and a quirky guide, this can be dipped into time and again to reveal something new about the people, the heritage and the secrets of this ancient county.","brand":"The History Press Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51894287139104,"sku":"9781837052622","price":11.04,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781837052622_2468153.jpg?v=1782020866","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/the-little-book-of-armagh-barry-flynn-9781837052622","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
