This historic corner of 18th century Antrim contains the childhood home of Alexander Irvine, who became a missionary in New York's Bowery, and eventually pastor of the Church of the Ascension on Fifth Avenue . His book "My Lady of The Chimney Corner" recalls his boyhood years in Pogues Entry and describes the lives of Irish country folk during the post famine days . The cottage is preserved in its original state as a tribute to Dr Irvine .
