What is recorded here
Robert Huddleston, 1814-1887, wrote as The Bard of Moneyrea and lived inside the same townland where the plaque now sits. A blue mark on a local building turns an ordinary street into a room where his words still echo. Ulster History Circle recorded the facts, but the true shape of the story is a man young and old inside one small place, naming it until it became familiar.
