The Linen Homelands. Thomas Ferguson Irish Linen is located in Banbridge, County Down, at the heart of what is known as The Linen Homelands. The four historic towns of Banbridge, Lisburn, Lurgan and Portadown are located in three counties (Down, Antrim, Armagh), but the common thread of linen binds them together.
