EDITORS COMMENTS
Derramore, Bessbrook: A Glance into the Past - This photograph, taken in the early 1900s, transports us back in time to Derramore, a historic house in Bessbrook, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The Act of Union was ratified within these walls in 1800, making it an essential piece of British and Irish history. The unusual, thatched, large building, with its distinctive roofline, stands proudly against the backdrop of a serene, green landscape. The lady at the front door, dressed in turn-of-the-century attire, offers a sense of scale, inviting us into this bygone era. Located in County Armagh, Northern Ireland, Derramore House holds a significant place in history. It was here, in the drawing room, that the representatives of the Irish and British governments signed the Act of Union on January 20, 1800. This momentous event marked the end of the Irish Parliament and the beginning of the legislative union between Great Britain and Ireland, which lasted until 1922. The house, with its rich history and architectural charm, has weathered the test of time, remaining a testament to the past. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of Derramore and the pivotal role it played in shaping the political landscape of both Ireland and the United Kingdom.
