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 railway, nine miles North from Carrickfergus, lying on the
road from Glenarm to Belfast at the head of Lough Larne, on the coast of
the North Channel, in the Irish Sea. The town was originally called
Inver. On a peninsula called the Curran, stand the ruins of Oldfleet
Castle, where Edward Bruce landed in 1315, with the design of making
himself King of Ireland, causing much bloodshed, and producing many
dreadful calamities to the English settlers in this part of the kingdom.
The trade of the port of Larne is gradually improving. The exports are
lime, limestone, whiting, beans, flour, oats, barley, pork and butter.
The shipping belonging to the port number upwards of 100 vessels. Two
steamers, the Princess Louise and Princess Beatrice, cross daily in about
two hours and forty minutes, conveying passengers and cattle, between
Larne and Stranraer. One of the steamers belonging to the State Line
calls at Larne fortnightly, and embarks passengers for America. There are
good quays on both sides of the Lough, about a mile from the town. There
is a railway terminating here, in connection with the Northern Counties
line, and a large quantity of the iron ore lately discovered in the
neighbourhood is shipped from the port. Other Railways are completed to
Ballyclare and Ballymena. The linen and bleaching business is carried on.
There is a large and commodious market place, occupying an acre of
ground, and a magnificent Town Hall, recently erected, the munificent
gift of the late Charles McGarel, Esq., to the people of Larne. The
butter, pork, grain, and potato weekly market is held on Wednesday. Iron
mines are extensively worked, several of which have been recently opened
in the neighbourhood. In the Summer season many visitors are attracted to
Larne as a salubrious retreat and well adapted bathing place. Petty
Sessions are held fortnightly. There is one newspaper (the "Larne
Reporter", established 1865), published here. The church was
repaired and much altered in 1819, previous to which it had some
specimens of ancient architecture. There are also three Presbyterian
churches, one neat Wesleyan Methodist chapel, and a Roman Catholic
Chapel, rebuilt in 1858. Two very handsome 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.
Population in 1871, 3,288.

consecrated in 1862, accommodates 800 people with seats, and is a neat,
comfortable building. Tullylish Presbyterian Meeting House, although having
sittings for 500 people, preparations are being made to build a much larger
and spacious house of worship, which is much required in this locality.
Tullylish Roman Catholic Chapel accommodates 500 worshippers.

LIMAVADY
Limavady (at the request of the inhabitants the name was
changed in October, 1875, from Newtownlimavady), is a place of great
antiquity. 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 evidences of Cromwell's
sojourn in this island. With the different revolutions of this 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 communications with Derry and Belfast, by means of rail
and telegraph is available. The town can boast of a Public Hall, erected at
a cost of £2,000 ; Mr. Samuel Mercer being the builder, a large amount of
the outlay being defrayed by public subscription. It contains an assembly
room, an ante-room, a news room, a saving's bank and caretaker's rooms. 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
House. There are three public weighbridges in town, one each at Messrs.
Macrory & Sons', Mrs. Hunter's and Alexander Boyle's. Messrs. R.
Macrory & Son have large Steam Flour and Oatmeal Mills, adjoining the
Railway Station, and a special line of rails from the Station runs into the
premises, altogether forming one of the most complete milling
establishments in the North of Ireland. There are twelve places of worship
in the parish. A spinning and weaving factory has also been built at
Ballyclose, by the Limavady Spinning and Weaving Company. A Spinning
Factory has also been built at Carrick (two miles distant), by Andrew
Given, Esq. Various arrangements have been recently made for the better
conducting of sales, and it is hoped that these changes will improve the
already good trade of the locality. Of our several benevolent and
beneficial associations, the most interesting are the Young Men's
Societies, of these, there are two - the Mutual Improvement, and the
Christian Association; with these may be connected the Bible and Colportage
Society, together with the Provident Society, managed by a committee of the
ladies of the town. Another institution worthy of mention is the Kennaught
Farming Society. It is for the encouragement of agriculture, and the
rearing of a superior class of cattle. The population of the town in 1871,
was, 2,762.

LISBURN
Is a market town and Parliamentary borough, partly in the
County Antrim, about seven miles S.W. by S. from Belfast. The spinning of
flax, and the manufacture of linen and linen thread and damask, together
with bleaching, is carried on extensively in the town and its
neighbourhood, particularly at Lambeg. Near the middle of the main street
is rather a spacious triangular area, in the centre of which stands the
Market House. The Castle Gardens are kept in fine order, at the expense of
Sir Richard Wallace, Bart., M.P., as a public promenade for the
inhabitants. Altogether, Lisburn may be pronounced one of the handsomest
and cleanest towns in Ireland. According to its present municipal boundary,
it contains 1,364 acres ; population in 1841, 6,284, inhabiting 921 houses
; population in 1851, 6,509, inhabiting 987 houses ; population in 1861,
7,484, inhabiting 1,220 houses. The vast increased improvements which have
taken place in Lisburn, since Sir Richard Wallace has come into possession
of the Hertford estate, are unprecedented in the history of any other town
in Ireland, chiefly caused by the leases in perpetuity, at moderate rents,
that have been granted to residents and non-residents, who have erected
several handsome villas (which are taken as soon as finished), and as many
as 200 workers' houses of a superior class, which were much required, as
previously the mill workers were huddled up in filthy and miserable hovels,
free of all decency and respect to morality. The population is now (1876)
computed at 10,000, all of whom are fully employed, and no beggars, as in
former times was the case. The town is situated on the Lagan. The borough
returns one member to the Imperial Parliament - constituency in 1869, 326.
The present representative is Sir Richard Wallace, Bart. Petty Sessions are
held in a commodious Court House fortnightly. The parish church is a
spacious and handsome building, with a tower, to which an octagonal spire
was added in 1808, at the expense of the Marquis of Hertford, and a fine
organ was presented to it by the same nobleman. It is the cathedral church
of the united Diocese of Down and Connor and Dromore, and contains a few
interesting monuments, amongst which is one to the memory of the celebrated
Dr. Jeremy Taylor, who died here in August 1667. There is also a church
called Christ Church - Rev. William Pounden incumbent - on the line of road
to Hillsborough. The other places of worship are three Presbyterian
churches, a Roman Catholic chapel, a meeting house for the Society of

LONDONDERRY
A Maritime City and
Parliamentary borough in County Londonderry, sixty-nine miles N.W. by W.,
from Belfast, comprising an area of about 600 acres within its municipal
boundary. The city is situated on a hill 119 feet above high water,
projecting into the western side of the River Foyle, and is surrounded by
an ancient rampart, a mile in circumference, with seven gates. As a
business and a manufacturing city, it is of much importance, and the
fisheries of the Foyle give employment to a great number of people. The
original name, Doire, or place of Oaks, was first Anglicised Derry,
and the prefix of London was added by charter of James I., 1613, on the
incorporation of the Irish Society, who colonised the district. In 1689 it
successfully sustained a desperate siege, protracted for 105 days, against
the army of James II. The guns used on this memorable occasion are
preserved, and the principal one "Roaring Meg" 11 feet long, 4
feet 6 inches in circumference, and others, are still to be seen on the
walls. These walls remain almost as perfect as when built, more than two
centuries ago. The public buildings and the ecclesiastical edifices, the
Walker Monument, and its situation, being " a city on a hill"
gives Londonderry, a most effectively picturesque appearance. The river is
crossed by a fine iron girder bridge, with two galleries or platforms - one
for passenger, the other for railway traffic - connecting the city with the
suburb of Waterside, on its east shore. It cost, including approaches about
£100,000. Though the linen trade has declined since 1822, the city has
considerably advanced in other departments of industry, and the valuation
of property has largely increased. Ship building, grain and saw steam
mills, coach factories, distilleries, breweries, etc., have been
extensively worked by enterprising individuals. Shirt manufacturing affords
employment to several thousand persons principally females. The new line of
quays has been completed at a cost of £60,000. A new graving dock has been
completed at a cost of £20,000. The harbour has also been improved, about
£30,000 having been expended in deepening "The Flats" dredging,
etc. There is a fine cemetery in the neighbourhood of the city, which has
been beautifully planted with shrubs, trees and flowers. The principal
buildings are the Cathedral, four Churches, one Roman Catholic Cathedral and a Parochial House contiguous, two Chapels, five Presbyterian, an Independent, two Covenanting, and
two Methodist Churches ; the Bishop's Palace, the Deanery, Foyle College,
Magee College, County and City Court House, Jail, Corporation Hall,
Infirmary, Lunatic Asylum, Gwyn's Institution, Union Workhouse, Military
Barracks, Young Men's Christian Association Hall, the Banks, Shirt
Factories, the Academical Institution, a new Gas Works (erected at a cost
of £15,000), the Government Buildings (recently erected at a cost of
£10,000, and comprising Custom House, Post Office, Inland Revenue
Office, and Income Tax Office), Boating Club House, an Orange Hall at
Glendermott (erected as a memorial to Murray, Mitchelburne, and Ash,
three of the principal leaders in the ever memorable siege), Temperance Hall, Waterside,
etc.; and an Apprentice Boys' Memorial Hall, another extensive Shirt
Factory on the Carlisle Road, the Craig Memorial Schools, and a spacious
Goods Shed for the Northern Counties Railway are in course of erection.
In the Royal Bastion, there is a pillar erected
in memory of the Rev. George Walker, Governor of the City during the siege
1688-9, and a statue of Sir Robert Ferguson, who represented the city in
Parliament for many years, stands in the Diamond, at the head of Shipquay
Street. The city returns one member to Parliament ; constituency 1866,
1,833. Its present member is C. E. Lewis, Esq., of London. The Recorder
holds Quarter Sessions. Fairs are held on the first Wednesday in each
month, the 17th June, the 4th September and 17th October. Markets are held
every weekday for butcher's meat, fish, pork, vegetables, eggs, poultry,
fruit, butter, meal and potatoes. The principal market days are Wednesday
and Saturday, the flax market is held on each Tuesday during the season.
The market accommodation in the city is excellent. The Bank of Ireland, and
the Provincial, Belfast, Ulster, and Northern Banks have branches here. The
Savings Bank was established in 1813. The port is formed by the River
Foyle, which here expands into a spacious and navigable estuary, possessing
great natural advantages. It is under the jurisdiction of the Irish
Society, who appoint a vice admiral over it, the Lough, and the adjacent
coast. It is also in charge of the Port and Harbour Commissioners. There
are steamers belonging to the port, which ply to Liverpool, Glasgow,
Morecambe, Belfast, etc. The Irish North-Western Railway connects the city with
Dublin, and the Northern Counties line runs to Belfast. An amalgamation has
taken place between the Northern and Irish North-Western, which will
considerably increase the trade of Derry, and afford greater facilities
for commercial and passenger traffic. The Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway
runs to
Buncrana, a very pleasant watering place. The opening of the Finn Valley
line has given access to Stranorlar by rail. The coasting trade is
considerable. An extensive emigration takes place, chiefly to the United
States and Canada. The Montreal Steamship Company's line of screw steamers,
carrying mails, also, the steamers of the Anchor line, call and depart
again weekly. Their station is off Moville, in Lough Foyle. Municipal
population, in 1871, 25,242, now about 30,000.

LOUGHBRICKLAND
Is a small post town
in County Down, situated on the road from Newry to Banbridge, within three
miles of the latter, and on the lake from which its name is derived, which
is said to have obtained its appellation from the speckled fish with which
it formerly abounded. The town consists of one principal and two smaller
streets. The Parish Church of Aghaderg is rather a handsome structure,
having a square tower surmounted by an octagonal spire: it stands in the
centre of the town, and opposite to it is a Roman Catholic Chapel. A
Presbyterian Church and a Chapel each for Covenanters and Wesleyan
Methodists are the other places of worship. There are national and
parochial schools for gratuitous instruction. Fairs are held on the third
Tuesday in each month.

LURGAN
Is a flourishing
manufacturing town in the County Armagh. It is situated twenty miles S.W.
from Belfast, on the line of the Great Northern Railway, and about one and
a half miles from Lough Neagh. Brownlow House, the home residence of the
Right Hon. Lord Lurgan, K.P. (lord of the manor), is a splendid castle,
fronted on the east by a large and beautiful lake, and surrounded by a
great enclosed plantation which extends along the whole north-eastern side
of the town. To this demesne there are several entrances, the principal
being an elegant lodge, which stands near to the centre of the town,
between High Street and Market Street. Generally speaking, the
architectural character of Lurgan is plain, but fashionable. The greater
portion of the town has been tastefully rebuilt within recent years, and
though the houses are only two storeys high from the level of the street,
there are commonly cellars beneath. Lurgan is the first town of the County
Armagh in population and commercial resources, and it is a very important
legal centre as well. The General Quarter Sessions of the county are held there, and the large Petty Sessions district - which extends from the
Moyntagh shores of Lough Neagh to several miles into the County Down -
affords ample business for that court, which is held on the first and third
Tuesday in each month. The manufacture of cambric handkerchiefs and damask
goods is the staple trade of Lurgan, and the country and villages
surrounding, and to the success and skill of the inhabitants in the
production of these fabrics may be attributed the rapid progress of the
town. In 1831, the population of Lurgan was 3,760 ; it is now above 12,000.
The annual valuation of rateable property was then £5,578. It is now £17,000.
The accumulation of private wealth must have been more than treble that of
public, as a large number of manufacturers have, in the same period
amassed princely fortunes. Among the principal depots of public industry in
Lurgan are the extensive power loom factories of James Malcolm, Esq., J.P.,
and Messrs. James Macoun & Co.; and the winding factories of Messrs.
John Ross & Co., Richardson,
Sons & Owden, Limited, James Glass & Co., and James Clendenning ;
and the stitching factory of the Lurgan Hemming and Veining Co. The
Belfast, Northern and Ulster Banks have each a branch in operation there.
The Parish Church, a large edifice in Gothic architecture, occupies a
commanding site in the centre of the town. There are also commodious houses
of worship for Presbyterians, Wesleyans, and Primitive Methodists, the Society of Friends, and Roman
Catholics. There are, besides Lurgan College and the Model School, a good
number of National Schools available for instruction, two of these being in
immediate connection with St. Peter's Church and St. Joseph's Convent. The
municipal affairs of Lurgan are managed by a Board of fifteen
Commissioners, incorporated under the Towns Improvement Act of 1854. The Mechanics' Institute is a handsome structure, situated at the
corner of Market Street and Union Street. The Library is open in the
evenings of Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, from seven till nine o'clock.
President - The Right Hon. Lord Lurgan, K.P.; Vice President - Francis
Watson, Esq., J.P.; Trustees - Lord Lurgan, John Waite Greer, J.P., John

Magahan. There is a building at the back of and adjoining the Institute,

occupied by the Masonic Body. There is a well supplied market held in
Lurgan every Thursday, and fairs monthly and twice a year.
