PORTADOWN           top

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. 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              top

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 ; two 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 & Co. run an excellent long car and also the mail car between Portaferry and Belfast.

PORTGLENONE             top

Portglenone, is a town of over 700 inhabitants, and is situated in the County of Antrim on the River Bann, about ten miles from Ballymena and thirty three from Belfast. It is a seat of the hand loom linen manufacture, and a considerable trade is carried on in the manufacture of bricks from the peculiar white clay found on the banks of the river. The surrounding district produces cereal crops in great abundance, and is a remarkably good one for flax. There are three Presbyterian, one Church of Ireland, and one Roman Catholic, churches in the town. The First Presbyterian Church was rebuilt in 1871, by the Rev. John Houston, minister, at a cost of £3,000. The Roman Catholic church, school, and presbytery have been built within the past ten years, and cost upwards of £5,000. A new National School has also been recently built in connection with the Presbyterian congregation, at a cost of about £500. The Third Presbyterian Church has lately been repaired and added to, and a handsome round tower built by Rev. A. H. Beattie. Markets every Tuesday ; fairs first Tuesday of each month and second Tuesday of May. Flax markets every first and third Tuesday of the month, and grain market every Thursday during the season. A company has been formed and has obtained a Bill for the construction of a narrow guage railway from Ballymena through Gracehill, Ahoghill and Casheltown to Portglenone, and the works are being rapidly proceeded with. Petty Sessions are held on the first Thursday of the month. The town has a public bakery, established by a local company in 1873, and gas works now in operation upwards of 20 years, owned and managed by Mr. William Smyth.

ROSTREVOR               top

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. The Mourne Hotel, which has lately been erected, is beautifully furnished and fitted out with all modern improvements. In addition to its other departments it contains dining hall, drawing room, dormitories, billiard and reading rooms. There is also the Woodside Hotel, which is beautifully situated, and in which the visitor or the tourist will find every comfort. Connected with this hotel is a Skating Rink, which is said to be one of the finest in the kingdom. In addition to the above hotels there is also Sangster's Hotel, which is also very comfortably fitted up for the reception of visitors. 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 Co.'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.
