A few nights ago I posted some pics of Harry Fergusons home in England. This was the mansion he bought BEFORE the lawsuit with Ford....remember Harry was a very sucessful car saleman in Belfast Northern Ireland before he made any tractors. He was the main importer of Austin of England cars into Ireland plus he sold the Waterloo boy tractor. His car dealership was huge by standards of the time and it was very modern even by todays standards in some garages.
This was his Birthplace here in Northern Ireland, only about 23 miles from my place...as you see he did not start out poor, this farmhouse is nearly exactly as it was when he was born.Most Irish people were very poor and lived in thatched cottages worse than the one I posted. The statue is what we erected in front of the house in his memory.
