Lisburn Exiles Forum

(Site is no longer operational pending a major long overdue overhaul of the entire website. Thank you for your patience. Site should still be visible and searchable for old posts.)

The Lisburn Exiles Forum is dedicated to the memory of James Goddard Collins (The Boss) who single-handedly built LISBURN.COM (with a lot of help from many contributors) from 1996 to 29th November 2012. This website was his passion and helping people with a common interest in the City of Lisburn around the world is his lasting legacy.

Re: Gas Works Bridge Street

Ted
your contribution remembered me about that advertisement from the clothes shop Speckmann in Belfast. It was situated somewhere near the docks.

"When I was a lad I went with my dad
And always got clad at Speckmann´s
Now I´m a dad with many´s a lad
we all get clad at Speckmann´s"!

The name suggests Jewish and / or German origin

There was another credit draper who had a store in Lambeg over 50 years ago.
