Description

Joe travels to Ballykelly, a village in County Derry in the first part of this look into the area's heritage. He explains the history of the area and how it was set up by the Fishmongers' Guild who were handed it by lottery in Plantation times. He visits Wallworth House, dating back to the Plantation era and speaks to its current owner, Brian Brown. His wife, Noreen, takes Joe around the ornamental gardens.

Joe explores the beautiful early 19th century neo-classical Presbyterian meeting house with the church secretary, John McSparran. Joe then visits the nearby St Finlach's Catholic Church and recounts the history of its building with the help of the London Fishmongers' Guild. Tommy and Dominic Hassan show Joe how to batter and fry fish in their award-winning fish and chip shop.
