charlesa Posted 25 July , 2013 Author Posted 25 July , 2013 Thanks very much Sir, I thought the email might have changed as Teddy retired a while ago. Best wishes Charles
spconnolly007 Posted 25 July , 2013 Posted 25 July , 2013 Charles, I only copied and pasted what I found on Google. Hopefully it works for you! Regards, Sean.
charlesa Posted 25 July , 2013 Author Posted 25 July , 2013 Thanks Sean. I have done the tour twice, first with Teddy, secondly with Don. Superb on both occasions. I have 2 relatives coming over from Minneapolis and hence the request. Best wishes Charles

The new custodians are Don & Maureen Mitchell. Contact Number 0033 (0) 322 748 714. Email is the same as above - teddy.ulstertower@orange.fr. Regards Yorke
Ghazala Posted 26 July , 2013 Posted 26 July , 2013 (edited) Teddy Corrigan conducting one of his famous tours in Thiepval Woods. He and Phoebe were legends at Ulster Tower. Phoebe seemed to be able to conjure up instantly sandwiches and tea for large bus parties that would arrive unannounced, a lot of times on her own whilst Teddy was over in the woods. They have now returned to their home in Belfast. Edited 26 July , 2013 by Ghazala
KIRKY Posted 26 July , 2013 Posted 26 July , 2013 They are a great couple and Teddy owns a Westfield as well! he has a great collection of cars. The new couple are also great and he took us on our last wood tour and it was very informative! Tony
Willie Posted 14 September , 2013 Posted 14 September , 2013 Earlier this week I was in the Ulster Aviation Society's museum http://www.ulsteraviationsociety.org/ (well worth a visit) beside the former Maze/Long Kesh prison outside Belfast, and was delighted to see a group of visitors being guided round by none other than Teddy Colligan. Y' just can't keep a good man down......
