Lurgan War MemorialMemorial · 219 ydExplorer Tom The Lurgan War Memorial has a bird that refuses to leave, claiming it’s the guardian of the square. It’s actually just lazy. If anyone asks, Tom sent you and told you to ignore the pigeon.

Carnegie LibraryLibrary · 360 ydExplorer Tom Carnegie Library in Lurgan smells like old paper and expensive cologne, according to Tom. Built around 1900, so it’s older than most of our grandads. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
Historic settlement: lurgan, also dewcorran in LurganHistoric Settlement: Lurgan, also Dewcorran · 369 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lurgan, also known as Dewcorran because apparently one name wasn't cheeky enough, has been hanging around since the seventeenth century.
