My Michelin Man

I have chosen 'Michelin' because my dad has worked there for the last 18 years.

Hello, I enjoyed the article on Michelin Tyre! I work for Michelin Tire Canada in Waterville, Nova Scotia ,Canada. Our factory produces the same types of tires that the Ballymena factory produces. Right now we make about 5400 truck tires per day!

We also get visitors from the Ballymena site a couple of times per year.

Take Care!

Production is now around 4200 a day.

I have enjoyed reading all the information from St. Mary's Primary Ballymena. I am impressed what they have found out about Ballymena long ago, especially the Harryville area where I grew up. I remember climbing the Moat Hill as we called it and I have photographs of that area before Sainsburys was built or the dual carriageway constructed. I was very interested to read about the Pennybridge as I used to go walks there in the summer. My Dad took us to the cottages and we would have a drink of cold water from the well nearby. I am a teacher and I hope my class can find out some more interesting facts about their town to add to the ones already on this site.
