Summary

Description
English: Sir Robert Ferguson bust, Castlederg
Sir Robert Ferguson was born in 1796 and died in 1860; it is recorded that in the case of the Castlederg railway, he was the local MP who lobbied very actively at Westminster between 1840 and 1850. This was necessary because every railway company had to have approval of a specific Act of Parliament. This was repeated by local dignitaries in towns all over the country.

It wasn't until 1883 though that the construction of a narrow gauge railway between Castlederg and the Great Northern line at Victoria Bridge commenced. He once had a shooting box at Derg Lodge near to the border with County Donegal H0779 : Loughahull or Limestone Lough. The bust is located here H2684 : Old buildings, Castlederg.

His sculpture can be seen at Brook Park, Derry / Londonderry C4317 : Sir Robert Ferguson Bart statue at Brooke Park.
