William Crawley travels to New Zealand's North and South Islands to explore the country's rich connections with Northern Ireland, and to reveal the remarkable stories of the Ulstermen and women - past and present - who have helped build such a powerful relationship. Here he talks about Hannahs shoes - which still operating today. A company formed by a man at the height of the New Zealand gold boom, and a couple who still live on the farmstead their great grandfather first tilled in the late 1800's when he came over from Ulster.
