- Description
- In the first half of the 20th Century Ulster was one of the most important linen producing areas in the world. Major events such as World War One and World War Two only helped increase the demand for linen manufactured in Ulster. After the war in 1950 the linen industry was still strong, with nearly 400 mills in operation, it employed more than 55,000 people – twenty per cent of Ulster’s total workforce. However, just twenty years later, in the 1970's, the linen workforce had reduced by half and only two thirds of the mills were still in operation.

- In 1603, King James I became the first British monarch to rule over Scotland, England and Ireland. James, a Protestant, wanted to unite his three kingdoms and strengthen his rule in Ireland where he faced opposition and rebellion from the Catholic, Irish speaking population. From 1609 onwards, people from England and Scotland were encouraged to move to the northern part of Ireland. This was known as the Plantation of Ulster and the English-speaking Protestants who took part were called 'planters'. It wasn't always an easy sell though, as this TV advert shows for the plantation of Movanagher Bawn...
