>I must apologize for being soo dim-witted! The statement of course is
true! Adairs DID own good chunks of Ballymena. Anyone famous with
Ballymena will know where the Seven Towers Leisure Center is.. It is built
on the site of Adair Castle. The castle fell into disrepair during this
century and sadly was becoming a haunt for winos and the like, so it was
torn down.

>I am trying to remember if it was one of the original "Seven Towers" of
Ballymena, or as the local Bard called it, "the city of the Seven Towers."

>I have a friend who is a well know photographer who has released a number
of books of old photos of Ballymena, (Which means 'middle town") These are
available should you wish to write to him. He also has beautiful ink
Drawings and or photos of the Seven Towers.

>I have the email address for the place where his son works. I will email
him and ask him if he would mind folks emailing his father through him.
