Footsteps Awarded National Trust - Mid Ulster Properties Tender

Footsteps is proud to announce that they have been successfully awarded the tender to provide historical interpretation for the the Mid Ulster Properties of the National Trust. For Springhill House, Moneymore, Co. Londonderry, Footsteps will be complimenting the established living history interpretation at Springhill on special event days throughout the season commemorating the Lenox-Conyngham family's link to the Titanic. Further information for these special events can be viewed at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/springhill/.

Footsteps will also be writing, developing and performing a special historical interpretation performance that will commemorate the sinking of H.M Troop Ship Birkenhead and that will compliment the already excellent house tours for The Argory, Moy, Dungannon, Co. Tyrone. Captain Shelton Bond, one of the subsequent owners of The Argory, was, at that time, a Cornet on board the Birkenhead when it was transporting troops to Algoa Bay, Africa. The Birkenhead left Simons Bay, Cape Town and sailed north along the East coast of South Africa and perished on Danger Point, in 1852. Shelton Bond survived and his return home will be brought to life for all visitors attending these special event days. Further information for these events can be viewed at http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/argory/.
