The Island of Cobh, Co. Cork Ireland where I live is joined to the main land by a bridge known as Belvelly bridge. If you weren't fortunate enough to have been born on the island and moved in from the other side you will always be known as an Over the Bridger.
I came from the Northside of Cork City over 30 years ago to marry a Cobh man so I am a Norrie and an Over the Bridger.
My mother in law Peg Kidney, from the Gaeltacht in Ring Co Waterford married a Cobh man and lived all her married life on the island and died in her 70's, an over the bridger.
These island folk should be counting their lucky stars that we ventured over the bridge to marry them. They would be very strange folk only for us.
The ruin of Belvelly Castle stands at the entrance to Cobh. This historic 15th Century Castle, once inhabited by Sir Walter Raleigh is on the market for €275,000.
This series of photographs are of Belvelly Castle and Bridge.
