Bygone Days of Yore

Two Decades of Twelfths

History is All About Our Story

Bringing Past Parades to Life

County Antrim Grand Secretary William Fenton, has been painstakingly collecting, collating and archiving thousands of pictures and artefacts which tell the story of the Independents through the years. Here we showcase past parades, and see the colour and culture of our Order on the March. The archive literally lets you march back in time with us and see heritage in action.

There are many faces and places which have been part of our story and as you scroll down the through the exhibition you are literally going back in time. So enjoy the show and if you have any images or footage of our Twelfth’s from those bygone days of yore.
