Harry Ferguson (born in Growell, Anahilt) achieved worldwide fame with his invention of the Ferguson 3 point linkage system. This system still forms the basis of almost every tractor made today. He was the second Briton to build and fly his own plane and he also achieved considerable success in the motor racing and motor cycling fields. Many of his inventions have filtered their way down to the modern family car. There is a memorial garden, open to the public, opposite his birthplace where an annual event is held every August. There is a bronze memorial piece in Hillsborough Forest to commemorate the centenary of his first flight on 31st December 1909. |
