OMAGH
Omagh, is the capital of Tyrone, a
distinction which it has enjoyed since the year 1768. It is situated
one hundred and nine English miles N.N.W. from Dublin, eighty seven W. from
Belfast, thirty four S. from Londonderry, and is the principal station of
the Londonderry and Enniskillen Railway. There are ten principal
streets, besides a number of smaller ones. High Street, formerly
called the Main Street, is particularly note worthy, being well built and
spacious, and being on a rising ground with the county court house, a fine
building with four Doric columns, standing at the head of the street, the
effect is very imposing. The town is lighted with gas, a gas company
having been formed in 1850. The public lighting, cleansing &c., is
managed by town commissioners appointed under the Act 9th George 4, cap. 82.
The market day is Saturday in each week, and a monthly fair is held on the
first Tuesday in each month. The population of Omagh at the last
census was 3,650, but the town has improved so much since then that the
population may now be estimated at 4,500. The principal public
buildings, institutions and offices are the Omagh District Lunatic Asylum,
erected in 1853, at a cost of £40,000, military barracks, county court
house, jail and infirmary, the union workhouse, fever hospital and
dispensary, the Parish church, two Presbyterian churches, Wesleyan Methodist
chapel, Primitive Methodist chapel, Roman Catholic chapel, Loretto convent
and Christian Brothers' school, the Omagh district model school, gas
manufactory &c. There are also four banks, a news room, police
barracks, post office, and two good hotels. The Dungannon and Omagh
Junction Railway is expected to be opened during the Summer, and a good
passenger station is to be built at Omagh. At the last assizes a
presentment for flagging the principal streets of Omagh was passed, and when
the work is executed it will add very much to the respectable appearance of
the town.

PORTADOWN
back to
top
Portadown, a market town in County
Armagh, twenty one miles S.W. by W. from Belfast, situated on the River
Bann, over which is a stone bridge of five arches. The Newry Canal
joins the river about a mile above the town, and the latter falls into Lough
Neagh, at its Southern side, and, issuing at the opposite side, forms the
boundary between the Counties of Antrim and Derry, and loses itself in the
sea below Coleraine, thus forming, in connexion with the canal, a water
communication between that place, and Newry, Belfast, Enniskillen &c.
There is a station of the Ulster Railway here, which is joined by the Dublin
and Belfast Junction line. The ancient name of the place was Port-ne-doon,
signifying "the port of the fortified eminence." The
town consists of a large, well built principal street, and several smaller
ones branching from it in various directions. In 1780 a general market
was established by Mayor Obyns and George Woodhouse, Esq., and of late years
the weekly sales of grain have greatly increased. The trade in other
agricultural produce, and in pork and cattle, is also very large. The
manufacturer of linen. lawn. cambric and sheeting is carried on extensively
in the town and neighbourhood, and the weaving of cotton goods also affords
employment to a considerable number of persons. There are two branch
bank establishments, a spinning mill and two steam flour mills. Petty
sessions are held every second Friday. The Parish church of Drumcree,
situated about a mile from the town, is a handsome edifice, in the early
English style, with a tower at the Eastern end. A chapel of ease, with
a square tower, stands in the town, as do also a Presbyterian church, and
chapels respectively for Primitive and Wesleyan Methodists. The
Wesleyans have recently built a new church, capable of holding 1,500 people,
two manses for ministers, and school house, at a cost of over £5,000.
The Roman Catholic chapel is situates near the parish church. The
market, which is held on Saturday, is second to none in Ulster for the usual
commodities, also on Easter Monday, Whit Monday, and November 13th.
Population in 1851, 3,091. Since that time it has nearly doubled.

PORTAFERRY
back
to top
Portaferry, is a thriving seaport and
market town in County Down, twenty nine 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 burthen can discharge
their cargoes. There is a considerable trade in corn and agricultural
produce, and that in coal and timber is of importance, and the merchants and
ship owners of the port are respectable. The embroidering of muslin is
the occupation of numerous females in the town and neighbourhood. The
herring fishery is carried on in the months of June to September inclusive.
The town consists of a small square, three streets and a range of houses
along the quay. The market house, situated in the square, is a
commodious building, in the upper portion an apartment is appropriated to
the use of the magistrates, who hold petty sessions there every third
Thursday, The places of worship are - the Parish church of Ballyphilip,
a neat structure, a handsome Presbyterian church, Wesleyan and Primitive
Methodist chapels, and a Roman Catholic chapel. The charitable
institutions consist of a dispensary and two public schools, one endowed,
the other under the National Board. Andrew Nugent, Esq., the
proprietor of Portaferry, has a fine mansion and demesne immediately
contiguous to the town. The remains of the ancient castle, built by
the family of the Savages, who assisted the renowned John De Courcy in the
conquest of Ulster, in the twelfth century, are still to be seen in the
neighbourhood, and near them the ruins of an old chapel, roofed with stone.
The market is held on Saturday, and the fairs on the 31st July and 12th
December, and the second Tuesday, monthly. The town contained in 1851,
2,074 inhabitants.

RANDALSTOWN
back
to top
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
to 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
(one of the largest in the United Kingdom), where stand the interesting
ruins of that once majestic castle, "Edenduffcarrick", for ages
the seat of the princely house of O'Neill, is close to the town, and extends
from it Southwards for upwards of five miles, through a richly wooded
demesne, on "Lough Neagh's Banks," constituting a most attractive
feature in the scenery of the neighbourhood, and affording recreation to the
inhabitants of the surrounding country, for whose amusement it is kindly
thrown open by its indulgent and hospitable proprietor, every Thursday and
Friday. The town in ancient times was called "Muileanniarann"
(Iron Mills), from a mill for smelting iron, which stood at its entrance -
the relics of which are still found in the locality, but Rose O'Neill, sole
heiress of the great family estates, having, about the year 1678, married
Randal, first Marquis of Antrim, in compliment to her husband, changed it to
the much more agreeable name of Randalstown. On the banks of the
Maine, adjoining the town, stand the corn, flax, beetling and linen yarn
spinning mills of S. G. Fenton & Co., who have expended a large sum on
the corn mill. Petty sessions every Tuesday. The Parish church
of Drummaul, a handsome Gothic structure, 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 Donegall, 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 chapel, a Roman Catholic chapel, a spacious court house, a
national school, and one established and maintained by the Rev. Wm.
Chichester O'Neill, for the benefit of the children of his tenantry in the
locality, under the superintendence of Mr. and Miss Coome, and an infant
school, capable of holding 150 children, erected by Miss Alexander (daughter
of the late Bishop of Meath), under the superintendence of Miss Wallace.
The dispensary for the district, under the Medical Charities Act, is held in
the town in a commodious building, comfortably and handsomely fitted up by
the late Lord O'Neill for the purpose, without making any demand for rent or
expenses. There is an extensive weekly market every Wednesday, for
grain, pork, butter, meat, poultry, eggs &c., and on 1st Wednesday in
each month a great general market. There are two fairs held here in
the year, on the 16th July and first 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 butchers' stalls, butter
store, weigh bridge &c., with ample convenience for every commodity
brought to market, and abundant accommodation for all attending it (also
free of expense). Randalstown, according to census of 1851, contains
about 1,050 inhabitants.

ROSSTREVOR
back
to top
Rosstrevor, is a beautiful watering
place, in the County Down. It is not quite two miles distant East from
Warrenpoint, not similarly situated as Warrenpoint, for Rosstrevor is
completely sheltered from the East winds by the mountains, and thus as
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 Lough Carlingford,
and commands beautiful views of the woods, mountains and waters of the
lough's basin. Mr. Inglis, in noticing Rosstrevor, says, it is "
one of the most beautiful spots in Ireland." 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 on his troops to victory at
Bladensburg, in America. The trade is very little except the extensive
bleach green belonging to the Messrs. Martin, and Forest Brook spade mill,
alabaster and cement works of Carvill & Sons. The Parish church is
a handsome structure, placed in a commanding situation, and with its lofty
tower, buttresses, and pinnacles, forms a conspicuous object to the quiet
aspect of the place, at the entrance to the village from Warrenpoint has
lately been erected a Presbyterian church, of very chaste Gothic
architecture, a manse is connected with the church, at the upper end of the
village is a Roman Catholic chapel, and near it is a school house. In
the church yard is a handsome cross, after the fashion of the ancient Irish
crosses, erected to the memory of the later Mrs. Ross, of Bladensburg,
designed and executed by the Hon. Mrs. Ross, of Bladensburg. It is of
Caen stone, and stands about sixteen feet high from base to top. The
whole is covered with bas relief's taken from scriptural subjects.
