Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Site of the "Bull's-eye", Crossroads, Omagh. One local person in his eightieth year who was born in the Old Mountfield Road, "Dinky" Rodgers has recollections of the Bull's-eye. He remembers that it was a round stone about half a metre high and was formed in sandstone. He can remember sitting on it and when the road was continued round the corner, it wasn't thought important enough for it to be removed, but after several mishaps with traffic, it was taken away. Fortunately he is one of a small number of people who has a vivid recollection of its existence. It should be noted that in one of the "Images of Omagh" books, W.J.McGrew (dec'd) has tabulated that the bull's-eye was located on the Old Mountfield Road just past Gibson School. This is not the case, as I have verified by talking to some of the remaining folk of the area. It was thought that it didn't have any historical importance but it is thought that it was plinth for enabling a gentleman to step on before mounting a horse, or for passengers to alight from a cart. |
