Omagh history group says a museum is needed in the town to help preserve historical artefacts heritage
By Julian FowlerA County Tyrone heritage group has warned that local history is in danger of being lost.It also says a museum is needed in the town where local stories can be recorded and artefacts put on display.
"We have no idea how the building has been kept but we do feel that the authorities should have been more proactive in dealing with it over the years." However, the 15-acre site remains inaccessible to the public, and there is uncertainty about its future."There's really no plans that we know of how it could be used in the future," Mr Brogan said.
Mr Brogan said "a proper museum for Omagh" that reflected the history of the county town of Tyrone would be one of the aims of the new heritage group. Royal Irish Constabulary Insp Thomas Hartley Montgomery was sentenced to death for the murder of bank clerk William Glass during a robbery of the Northern Bank in Newtownstewart in 1871.
The Strule Arts Centre has a rooftop museum space which Fermanagh and Omagh District Council described as the "first steps towards a museum collection for the Omagh area".Some of the items will go on permanent display in a rooftop museum area.
