PORTADOWN
Portadown, a market town in the
County Armagh, twenty five miles from Belfast, situated on the banks of
the River Bann. It is an important railway junction. The lines of the
Great Northern Railway branch off from it, to Dublin, Derry and Armagh,
and it is in direct railway communication with Belfast. The Newry canal
which joins the Bann about a mile from the town opens a water
communication from Carlingford Lough, and the river itself being
navigable all the way to Lough Neagh, affords a ready means of traffic
by lighters and barges from Belfast and towns adjoining the lake. The
ancient name of the town was Port-ne-doon, or the Port of the fortified
eminence, it has increased rapidly within the last half century, the
population in 1816 being only 600, while in the census of 1870, it was
8,000. The town stands on a hill, and is well cleansed and lighter, the
footpaths are flagged, the houses are of modern construction and the
chief streets are of imposing appearance. Two markets are held in the
week, one on Wednesday for the sale of hay, straw, and other farm
produce. In the season a very large quantity of grass seed is brought to
this market, and the buyers are numerous, and the highest market price
is realized. The market on Saturday is for the sale of all kinds of farm
produce, the trade in pork is very large, and a fair is held on the
third Saturday in every month. The manufacture of linen and cambric is
extensively carried on, there are four large weaving factories and a
spinning mill, which give employment to a large number, and two large
flour mills. The chief public buildings are the Town Hall which occupies
a central position and contains an assembly room and a court where Petty
Sessions are held, and several smaller rooms where committees meet and
associations and clubs have their sittings. The Bank of Ireland, a
large and handsome structure built of Dundalk granite, three storeys
high, the Belfast Bank and the Ulster Bank. Carleton Street School,
erected in 1870, where Sabbath Schools in connection with St. Mark's
Church are held. The Orange Hall opened in 1875, and Victoria Hall. The
Parish Church of Drumcree is situated about one mile from the town. In
the town is St. Mark's Church, and about half a mile distant is Seagoe
Church. The Wesleyan Methodist premises in Thomas Street, are handsome
buildings, containing a chapel, several school rooms and class rooms.
The Presbyterian Meeting Houses, three in number, are commodious and
well appointed. The Roman Catholic Chapel in William Street, is a
spacious edifice, and there is a second chapel in the Edenderry end of
the town. Besides, there are preaching houses belonging to the Primitive
Wesleyans, and to the Primitive Methodists. Within the last few years a lease of land to the extent of
twenty three acres has been obtained from his Grace the Duke of
Manchester for a public park. It has been tastefully laid out in walks
and planted with evergreens and trees of various kinds, while a river
flowing through the centre and a handsome pond contribute much to its
appearance. In 1872 a public library and reading rooms were established,
which open daily. There are over 2,000 vols. in the library, and the
news room is well supplied with papers. Petty Sessions are held on the
second and fourth Mondays in each month.

PORTAFERRY
Is a thriving seaport
and market town on the County of Down, twenty three miles S.E. by S.
from Belfast, situated on the Eastern shore of the strait to the sea
that forms the entrance to Strangford Lough. From the strength of the
current the name Strong-ford, and hence, by corruption, Strangford is
derived. At Portaferry is a good quay, where vessels of light burden can
discharge their cargoes. There is a considerable trade in coal, timber,
corn and agricultural produce. The herring fishery is carried on from
the month of June to September inclusive. The Market House is a
commodious building, in which the magistrates hold Petty Sessions, the
last Tuesday in each month. The places of worship are - the Parish
Church of Ballyphillip, a neat structure ; a Presbyterian church,
Wesleyan and Primitive Methodist churches ; and a Roman Catholic chapel. The charitable
institutions consist of a dispensary and four public schools, all under
the National Board. Colonel Andrew Nugent, D.L., J.P., commanding the
2nd Dragoons (Scots Greys), is the proprietor of Portaferry, and has a
fine mansion and demesne immediately contiguous to the town. The market
is held on Saturday, and the fairs on the 31st July and 12th December,
and the second Tuesday monthly. The town contained, by the census in
1871, 1,938 inhabitants. The town is much improved of late years, a
Protestant Hall was built in 1870, and a handsome Coast Guard Station
has just been finished at the south end of the town. Messrs. Norton
& Shaw run an excellent long car and also the mail car between
Portaferry and Belfast.

PORTRUSH
Is a seaport and
watering place in the North of Antrim, about six miles N.E. from
Coleraine and seven from the world famed coast scenery, the Giants'
Causeway. The place has more than trebled its population during the last few
years, owing to the opening up of the railway communication. It is now
one of the most fashionable watering places in the North of Ireland, and
is much resorted to during the bathing season. There are many superior
lodging houses and bathing lodges for the accommodation of visitors;
and owing to its temperate and tonic atmosphere, many respectable
families have located themselves as permanent residents. There is
steamboat communication with Glasgow twice a week, and fortnightly to
Islay, Oban, etc., during the summer months, giving the tourists ample
opportunity of visiting Highland scenery. There is also steam
communication with Morecambe once a week and occasionally with
Liverpool. Norton & Shaw's well appointed van take tourists twice
daily to Causeway, and once to Carrick-a-rede and Ballycastle. Coleman's
van also leaved at ten o'clock a.m., for Causeway Hotel. Portrush possesses eight
hotels, as below. The permanent population is
about 1,300, but during the bathing season it amounts to about 4,000.

PORTSTEWART
Is a seaport and
watering place in County Derry, four miles North from Coleraine, and ten
from the celebrated Giants' Causeway ; very prettily and romantically
situated at the foot of a branch of the great basaltic range of
mountains, and commands an extensive view of the estuary of the Bann,
the entrance into Lough Foyle, and the promontory of Downhill, with the
peninsula of Innishowen in the distance. The air here is pure, the
scenery grand and picturesque, and the facilities for bathing very
great. There are public baths, lodging houses and a first rate hotel,
the latter fitted up with every accommodation for families and visitors.
In appearance the town resembles an English watering place, and is a
favourite place of resort during the Summer, and even in the Winter
months, having a dry, sandy soil, and being sheltered from easterly
winds. The place is plentifully supplied with fish. The population in
1871 was 512.

RANDALSTOWN
Is a market town in
County Antrim, seventeen miles N.W. by W. from Belfast, two miles North
from the nearest part of Lough Neagh. The Maine is crossed, at the
entrance of the town, by a stone bridge of nine arches, whence it
pursues its course to Lough Neagh, through Shane's Castle Park. This
magnificent park extends southwards for upwards of five miles, through a
richly wooded demesne on "Lough Neagh's banks," and is kindly
thrown open by its indulgent and hospitable proprietor every Tuesday and
Friday. On the banks of the Maine, adjoining the town, stand the corn,
flax
beetling and power loom mills of Messrs. Webb, Brothers. Petty Sessions
are held first Tuesday in each month. The Parish Church of Drummaul is
situated in a commanding position close to the town. The rectorial
tithes of the parish are lay impropriate, the property of the Marquis of
Donegal, who has also the right of presentation - the vicarial tithes
(now rent charge) belong to the vicar or incumbent. There are also three
Presbyterian churches, a Wesleyan Methodist church, a Roman Catholic
chapel, a spacious Court House, two National Schools, and one
established and maintained by the Right Hon. and Rev. Lord O'Neill, for
the benefit of the children of his tenantry in the locality, and an
infant school, capable of holding 150 children, erected by Miss
Alexander, daughter of the late Bishop of Meath. There is a Dispensary
for the district. A company has been formed for lighting the town with
gas. The Northern Banking Company have erected a spacious and handsome
Bank House for the transaction of business. There is an extensive weekly
market every Wednesday, for flax, grain, pork, butter, meat, poultry,
eggs, etc.; and on the last Wednesday in each month a fair is held for
the sale of cattle, sheep, pigs, and other farm produce ; and in
addition to these, there are two fairs in the year, on the 16th July and
1st November. The late Lord O'Neill built and fitted up a commodious and
elegant hotel, an extensive walled in market square, shedded on all
sides, containing flax stores, butchers' stalls, butter store, weigh
bridge, etc.; with ample convenience for every commodity brought to
market, and abundant accommodation for all attending it (also free of
expense)

Newry and Downpatrick ; it stands on the acclivities of a hill, and
consists of seven principal streets, which radiate downward from a
tolerably spacious square towards the five roads which meet at its site.
The summit of the hill, which commands an extensive view of the
surrounding country, is crowned by the ruins of an old castle, anciently
one of the fortified residences of the Magenises, Lords of Iveagh. The
Market House is in the Square, in the upper part of which a Petty
Sessions Court is held the first and third Friday in every month. The Parish
Church of Drumgath is a small, neat edifice with a tower. There are
three Presbyterian churches, and also places of worship for the
Covenanters and Society of Friends, Methodists, and Roman Catholics. The
charitable establishments are public schools for children of both sexes,
and a dispensary. The markets are held on Wednesday ; the fairs are on
the first Wednesday of every month.

RICHHILL
Is a post town in County
Armagh, and about five miles E. by N. from Armagh ; situated on the
River Tallwater, in the heart of a rich agricultural and populous

Society of Friends. A Good Templars' Hall has been erected lately, in

ROSTREVOR
Is a beautiful watering
place in the County Down. It is not quite two miles distant East from
Warrenpoint, nor similarly situated as Warrenpoint, for Rostrevor is
completely sheltered from the East winds by the mountains, and thus an
advantageous place, in point of climate, for invalids, and particularly
recommended for pulmonary disorders. The town is delightfully seated on
a gentle declivity, which rises from a little cove of Carlingford Lough,
and commands beautiful views of the woods, mountains, and waters of the
Lough's basin. Mr. Inglis, in noticing Rostrevor, says it is, "one
of the most beautiful spots in Ireland." The Woodside Hotel is
beautifully situated on the main road between Warrenpoint, Rostrevor and
Newcastle, and commands unrivalled views of mountain scenery, which are
unsurpassed for grandeur by any in Ireland. The hotel is surrounded by
its own ornamental grounds, flower gardens, lawns, etc., and commands
views of Carlingford Lough and mountains on the one side, with the
charming Slieve Ban mountain and wood on the other side. About a quarter of a mile South
West of the town stands a handsome monument to the memory of the late
General Ross, who fell while leading his troops to victory at
Bladensburg, in America. The trade is very little, except the extensive
bleach greens belonging to the Messrs. Martin and Forrest, Brook
Spinning Company. The Parish Church forms a conspicuous object to the
quiet aspect of the place. There are also a Presbyterian Church and a
Roman Catholic Chapel. Fairs - Monday before Shrove Tuesday, Easter
Monday, Whit Tuesday, 1st August, 19th September, 1st November and 11th
December. Norton and Shaw's long cars daily pass through Rostrevor, and a
'bus, belonging to the same firm, plies several times each day between
the village and Warrenpoint. Population in 1871, 626.
