Voices From The Sperrins - Heritage of the Magherafelt Road

Paddy Glasgow chats with five friends who all live at the top of the town on the Magherafelt Road, Draperstown. Patsy Cassidy, brothers Michael & Pat Kelly, sister and brother Jennifer Mawhinney & John Johnston.

They speak about growing up in rural Draperstown back in the early fifties through the sixties up to present day. Stories of their first times watching tv, butter smuggling, toffee apples secret mixture, the businesses that were there, how it has changed over the years, the heritage of the area and its people living there.
