Landmarks of Lisburn


Take a tour through the Lisburn of yesteryear

This evocative film takes us on a delightful expedition into Lisburn's past. There are familiar streets and buildings, but also places that have changed beyond recognition, or disappeared altogether.

This material is courtesy of the UTV archive. Davy Jones - at one time the world's smallest man - appears near the end of the film, driving his specially-built car through the town centre.
