#OnThisDay 11 July 1920, eve of the 'Twelfth'-‘Cat Fort’, Cork City, the Ward family are told to leave their home. Then destroyed by fire. It was the home of Arthur Ward. The last County Grand Master of the Cork Orange Institution. His wife died in the immediate aftermath.

Mesmerised by Titanic Belfast!!

I’d encourage all sensible people to cancel their subscription to this absolute rag of a newspaper. I just ended my own.
