LARNE
A market town and seaport in the County Antrim, about seventeen miles
from Belfast by the coach road, and twenty-four and a half miles by the
railway, nine miles north from Carrickfergus, lying on the road from
Glenarm to Belfast, at the head of Larne Lough, on the coast of the
North Channel, in the Irish Sea. The town was originally called
Inver. It is one of the mist flourishing towns in the North of
Ireland, beautifully situate on the north-east coast of Antrim, and has
of late years become one of the leading passenger ports of the
country. By the Short Sea Passage Service between Larne and
Stranraer (distance 39½ miles) passengers from Belfast and the North of
Ireland can now reach Scotland and the North in a very short time, and
the journey from Belfast to London only occupies about thirteen hours,
with a sea passage of eighty minutes. As a harbour for goods and
passenger traffic, Larne occupies a most commanding position, being
distant in statute miles. There is a bi-weekly steam service; Ayr,
three times a week; and to Liverpool weekly. Near the harbour are the
ruins of Olderfleet Castle, at one time "important as a defensive
fortress against the predatory bands of Scots who infested the
north-eastern coast and was under the direction of a
governor." The office was held in 1569 by Sir Moyses Hill,
but in 1598 it was thought no longer necessary, and accordingly
abolished. The castle and adjoining territory were granted in 1610
to Sir Arthur Chichester, the founder of the noble family of
Donegal. It was here that Edward Bruce, the last Monarch of
Ireland, landed with his band of Scots, when he endeavoured to free
Ireland from English rule in 1315. In the summer season many
visitors are attracted to Larne as a salubrious retreat and well adapted
bathing place. Large sums of money have recently been expended in
vastly improving the beach at the bathing place, and in the erection of
commodious and well appointed dressing rooms both for ladies and
gentlemen. The progress of Larne has been very marked during the
past fifteen years or so; over three hundred new houses have been built,
principally at Clonlee, and in the harbour direction. New
sidepaths of granolithic have been laid down in the principal streets,
and a new water supply provided at a cost of about £5,000; and at
Larne Harbour, the termini of both the broad and narrow guage (gauge)
railways, the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway Company have erected
a new covered station, in order to meet the requirements of the
increasing number of travellers by the Short Sea Route. It is
covered on each side, and cost £3,000. The town boundary was
considerably extended in 1892, and in the same year the town
Commissioners were constituted the Local Sanitary Authority, instead of
the Board of Guardians. Petty Sessions held on the second and
fourth Tuesday of each month. The exports are lime, limestone,
whiting, iron ore, paper, linen, four, grain, cattle, sheep, horses,
pork, and butter. The imports are coal, timber, slates, Esparto
grass, and general goods. Linen, woollen tweeds, and fabrics, also
flour, etc., are extensively manufacturers in the town and
neighbourhood. There have been erected large mills for the manufacturer
of paper. The Messrs. Brown have built on the Old Glenarm Road a
fine new factory for the manufacture of linen, which is in a prosperous
condition; and the British Aluminum Company, Limited, of London, have
erected extensive Alumina Works at Larne Harbour, which gives employment
to a large number of men. There is a large and commodious market
place occupying an acre of ground, which, since its formation in 1864,
has contributed very much to the general prosperity of Larne.
There is a magnificent Town Hall, the gift of the late Mr. Charles
McGarel, J.P., D.L., to the inhabitants of Larne. The McGarel
Buildings, a charitable institution, erected on a piece of rising ground
commanding a beautiful view of Larne Lough, were also built by the same
gentleman. On the opposite hill at the Glebe stands the Larne
Grammar School, erected by the late Sir E. Coey and Mr. John
Crawford. There are two local newspapers published, "The Larne
Times" on Friday morning, and "The Larne Reporter" on
Saturday. First town in Ulster to adopt the electric light.
The town is lighted by eleven arc lamps of 1,200 candle power each, and
sixty-six incandescent of sixteen candle power. At the Curran
there is a battery for training Royal Naval Reserve men, having one
6-inch breech-loading gun, one 64-pounder, and one 4-barrel 1-inch
Nordenfelt. There is a good Church of Ireland, which, previous to
being repaired in 1819, had some specimens of ancient architecture;
besides two churches for the Presbyterians, one each for the Methodists,
Unitarians, Independents, and one Roman Catholic Chapel. Two
substantial mission houses have been built and endowed by the late Mr.
John Getty, of Belfast. The monthly market is held for the sale of
black cattle, horses, sheep, pigs, etc., on the second Thursday of each
month. Fairs, July 31st and December 1st. The population is
over 7,000, and in summer about 15,000

LIMAVADY
Is a place of great antiquity. At the request of the
inhabitants the name was changed in October, 1875, from
Newtownlimavady. It was the residence of the celebrated O'Cahan, or
the modern O'Kane, who was chief of one of those powerful
"septs" of Ulster that were so constant and determined in their
opposition at all times to the English, from the year in which Sir John
de Courcy received this Northern province from the first of the
Plantagenets till the day they were finally subdued under the first of
the Stuarts. Through the middle of Limavady, beautiful for situation,
flows the Ruagh (Anglice, Roe), or Red River, so called from its muddy
waters. The Vale of the Roe has been designated by an able writer,
"The garden of the North." The chief places of
antiquarian interest are - The "Limavady," alluding to the
"Dog's Leap;" "O'Kane's Rock," in Deerpark; the
foundations of the Old Castle, close by; "McQuillan's
Grave," near the "Curly Burn;" and the Ruins of
Drumachose Ancient Church, in Drenagh, with its burial place, bearing
evidence of Cromwell's sojourn in this ilsand (Island). With the different
revolutions of the country this town is honourably associated. In
1641, during the O'Neill persecution, it suffered greatly. In it a large
body of horse - A.D. 1688 - was raised for
the defence of Derry; through it King James, with Marshal de Rosen and
the Duke of Berwick, passed to besiege that city; and at Limavady, during
the rebellion of 1798, a small band of yeomen opposed the march towards
the Maiden City, from Belfast, of 5,000 United Irishmen, and thereby gave
the death-blow in the North to that fraternity. Limavady has good
facilities for trade. daily Communication between Derry and
Belfast, by means of rail and telegraph, is available. There is a
public hall (now called the Alexander Memorial Hall, in memory of the
late Mr. S. M. Alexander, D.L., J.P., of Roe Park, whose full-sized
portrait now adorns the centre wall of the hall), erected at a cost of
£2,000. It contains an assembly room, an ante-room, a newsroom, a
room for meetings of Urban Council, and caretaker's rooms/ There is
also a Masonic Hall and an Orange Hall. The lands in the
neighbourhood are of the most fertile description, and the trade of the
town is chiefly derived from agriculture. The town has extensive
market places, and is gradually improving. The Belfast and Northern
Counties Railway Company have erected a new and commodious station.
There are three weighbridges in the town, one each at Messrs. S. M.
Macrory's, B. M. Hunter's, and Major Boyle's. Mr. S. M. Macrory has
large steam flour and oatmeal mills adjoining the railway station, and a
splendid line of rails from the station runs into the premises,
altogether forming one of the most complete milling establishments in the
North of Ireland. A spinning and weaving factory has also been
built at Ballyclose by the Limavady Spinning and Weaving Company, now
owned by the Water Power Company of Cookstown. Fairs for the sale
of cattle, horses, sheep, and pigs are held on the second Monday in the
months of February, March, June, July, and October.

LISBELLAW
Is in County Fermanagh, and is situated within four miles of
Enniskillen, the capital of the county. The surrounding districts
are thickly wooded, and is specially adapted for grazing purposes.
It lies convenient to Lower Lough Erne, the scenery of which is equal to
Killarney. In the village there is a woollen factory (Messrs.
Henderson & Eadie, proprietors), established for over forty years,
which gives employment to a good number of workers. The Great
Northern Railway Station adjoins the village. Population, 405

LISBURN
This prosperous town is built on the River Lagan, and stands seven
miles south of Belfast and seventy-three north of Dublin. Lisburn
at the time of the Legislative Union was constituted a parliamentary
borough, but the constituency is now merged in that of South Antrim,
which is represented in the Imperial Parliament by Mr. W. Ellison
Macartney. Flax spinning, the manufacture of linen and thread, and
bleaching, are extensively carried on in the town and its immediate
neighbourhood. Soon after the accession of George III. the weaving
of damask was commences in the town, and it is still carried on
successfully by Messrs. William Coulson & Sons and by Messrs. James
Coulson & Co. Lisburn may be truthfully described as one of
the most thriving inland towns in Ireland, and it is steadily
improving. The streets are generally broad, and, as a rule, they
are kept remarkably clean. Near the middle of Market Square, in
triangular area, stands the Assembly Rooms, which were renovated some
years ago at the expense of the late Sir Richard Wallace, Bart., who was
lord of the soil. The Castle Gardens, recently presented to the
town by Sir T. Murray Scott, Bart., are kept in fine order, as a public
promenade, and they are deservedly much appreciated by the
townspeople. In the grounds there is a handsome monument, erected
by public subscription, as a memorial to the late Sir Richard
Wallace. The Wallace Park, the gift of Sir Richard, is a popular
resort, and it has recently been much improved. According to its
present municipal boundary, Lisburn contains 1,068 acres. The
population in 1841 was only 6,284; it is now between 14,000 and
15,000. The improvements which have taken place in the town since
the late Sir Richard Wallace came into possession of the Hertford estate
are, it is believed, unprecedented in the history of any other town in
Ireland, and this is chiefly due to the fact that leases in perpetuity
were granted to residents and non-residents, who have erected numerous
handsome villas (all of which are occupied as soon as finished), and
large numbers of houses of a superior class for working men. These
were much required, and their erection has greatly contributed to the
home comfort of many of the sons of toil. A large proportion of
the inhabitants consist of operatives, all of them, if sober and
industrious, finding constant employment in the mills, factories, and
bleach works. A town court and petty sessions are held fortnightly
in the courthouse, which was erected at the sole expense of the late Sir
Richard Wallace. This building also contains large and
well-appointed apartments for the Urban District Council and Town Clerk,
offices for the Clerk of Petty Sessions, and large rooms for the Masonic
body. The cathedral of Christ Church (Rev. Canon Pounden, rector)
is a spacious and handsome building with a tower, to which an octagonal
spire was added in 1807, the entire cost being defrayed by Francis
Seymour Conway, second Marquis of Hertford. His Lordship's eldest
son, the third marquis, presented to the congregation of the cathedral,
in 1832, the fine organ that still adorns the western gallery. The
venerable building was dignified as the Cathedral of the Diocese of Down
and Connor by Charles II. Many interesting monuments are to be
seen in the east end of the church. Among these is one erected by
the late Bishop Mant to the memory of the celebrated Dr. Jeremy Taylor,
who died here in August, 1667. An exceedingly handsome tablet
commemorates the death of Brigadier-General Nicholson, the hero of the
Punjab. There is also a beautiful memorial of Lieutenant Dobbs,
R.N., who was killed at a sea fight off Carrickfergus in 1778, when the
frigate he commanded was attacked by Paul Jones, the pirate.
Christ Church was erected in 1842, and since then has been enlarged to
double its original extent, in order to meet the wants of an increasing
congregation. The other places of worship are four Presbyterian
Churches, two Methodist Churches, a Congregational Church, a
Meeting-house for the Society of Friends, the Gospel Hall in which the
Christian Brethren assemble, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. The
principal market is held on Tuesday, and it is looked upon as one of the
best in the province. The Town Commissioners purchased the markets
from Lady Wallace some time ago, and have made improvements which render
them equal to the markets of any other provincial town in Ireland.
Lady Wallace's water rights have also been purchased by the
Commissioners, and the town has now an abundant supply of pure filtered
water. The old-established fairs are held on the 21st of July and
5th of October. Some years ago monthly fairs (held on the second
Monday of each month) were added and these are largely attended by both
sellers and buyers, many of the latter coming from important centres
across the channel. A new and beautifully laid out cemetery has
been made off the Hillsborough Road, a short distance from the
town. This site, a very picturesque one, was granted by the late
Sir Richard Wallace. The town, for rating and other purposes, has
been separated from the Counties of Antrim and Down. The original
name of the town was Lisnagarvey, and when Sir Fulke Conway became the
owner of the estate it consisted of but fifty-three houses, most of
which were mere cabins; after the great fire of 1641 the name of the
town was changed to Lisburn. The inhabitants are, as a rule,
industrious and law-abiding, serious crime being almost unknown in the
community.

LISNASKEA
Is a thriving village on the Great Northern Railway,
about five miles north-west of Newtownbutler and nine south-east of
Enniskillen. The landlord is the Right Hon. the Earl of Erne,
K.P., Custos Rostulorum (Rotulorum) of County Fermanagh. During the flax
season there are two markets held weekly - one on Wednesday for flax and
pork, and the principal market is on Saturday, when farm produce of
various kinds finds ready purchasers. The fair, established about twelve
years ago, is held on the third Wednesday in each month. There is
ample fair and market accommodation. A Petty Sessions Court is
held on the second and last Saturday in the month. The public
buildings include - the Town Hall, public dining-rooms, three good
hotels, first-class corn, butter, potato, egg, and fowl market, also
flax and pork market and stores; a handsome branch of the Ulster Bank,
the Crichton Loan Fund office (which employs six hands), post-office,
reading room, infant school, Church of Ireland, and Methodist
Church. There are two National Schools within half a mile of the
village, at a place called "The Moat." The population is
about 750.
