A likely story!

Well I am back in my home village again.  This building is Gourley's Bar.  It's been here for many generations and all within the same family as far as I know.  The building added onto it is obviously news, this is where the railway line would have emerged.

I did hear an amusing story, said to be true!  When the railway was still in use a train driver popped into Gourleys for a quick pint and unfortunately a couple of carriages on his train became decoupled and they slowly slid downline towards Comber.  It apparently caused quite a stink and I don't know what happened to the driver!  There may indeed be various variations of this story!
