CARRICKFERGUS
Carrickfergus
- an ancient market town, and maritime county of a town and parliamentary
borough, situate on the north shore of Carrickfergus Bay, or Belfast Lough,
and enclosed on all other sides by
Antrim County, is eight miles from Belfast. Carrickfergus was formerly a
place of great strength, and is rendered memorable by the landing of King
William in 1690. The following paragraph from Miskimmin's "History of
Carrickfergus" will give some idea of the importance attached :-
"1690, Saturday, June 14th, about four o'clock afternoon, King William III
landed at this quay from the Mary yacht, attended by Prince George of
Denmark, the Duke of Ormonde, the Earls of Oxford, Scarborough and
Manchester, the Hon. Mr. Boyle, and many persons of distinction. He walked
through 'part of the town,' and about half an hour after landing, set off in
Duke Schomberg's carriage to Belfast, near which place he was met in State
by the sovereign and burgesses. The former presented a very loyal address to
his Majesty in the name of the Corporation and other inhabitants, which his
Majesty received with much seeming satisfaction." The Stone (an
immense block of basalt) on which the King landed under the shadow of
Carrick's ancient castle, is built in the pier head and is known and revered
as "King William's Stepping Stone." On it are roughly carved "W. R."
(William Rex). It is an object of great interest and curiosity to many
visitors to the town. The county of the town of Carrickfergus extends five miles
each way, and is
distant from, but locally in, the County of Antrim. It comprises about
16,700 acres, and includes Loughmourne, an inland lake which is situate 556
feet above high sea level, and covers an area of about 90 acres. The waters
of this lake have recently been taken by the Belfast Water Commissioners, an
Act of Parliament having been obtained by them for that purpose. Salt was discovered at
Duncrue, Carrickfergus, on the property of the Marquis of Downshire, in
1851, and a few years ago it was also discovered at Eden, a village about a
mile from Carrickfergus on the Larne side, where a mine was opened by Mr. M.
R. Dalway, D.L. In 1889, the interest of the proprietors of the various
mines in the district was purchased by The Salt Union (Limited), and all the
mines, four in number, are now being worked under their control. Messrs,
Charles Tennent & Co., Chemical Manufacturers, of St. Rollox, Glasgow,
contemplate the opening of a mine at Eden, and the work is at present in
progress. The
imports consist of coal, timber, slates; and the exports of grain, rock
salt, and limestone. The parish church of St. Nicholas possesses a few
monumental memorials, the most remarkable and worthy of notice being one of
the Chichester family. Its public buildings are the Town Hall, Market Place,
Parish Church, three Presbyterian, a Baptist, an Independent, and one Methodist Church,
Roman Catholic Chapel, Court House, and Jail - the latter used as a barrack by the
Antrim Artillery Militia (Southern Division Royal Artillery). The Corporation, which was styled "The Mayor,
Sheriffs, Burgesses, and Commonalty of the Town of Carrickfergus,"
under the provisions of the Municipal Reform Act was dissolved, and a Board
of Municipal Commissioners constituted, in whom is vested the corporate
property. The borough formerly returned a member to Parliament, but on the
passing of the Redistribution of Seats Bill, in 1884, it was amalgamated
with the East Division of County Antrim, which is now represented by Captain
James M. McCalmont. The town has much improved of late, and the several factories
in the neighbourhood contribute greatly to its general prosperity. The
harbour has been enlarged, and is connected on the West side with the
Northern Counties Railway by means of a Railway constructed in 1885, in
pursuance of the Tramways (Ireland) Acts, dividends at the rate of 5 per
cent. on the capital being guaranteed by the Grand Jury of the County of the
Town of Carrickfergus. Vessels of large build can now discharge and load
cargoes here, and enter the harbour at almost any state of the tide. The
wooden shipbuilding trade is now almost obsolete, but iron shipbuilding is
actively carried on at the shipyard adjoining the Belfast Road, and a dry
dock has been constructed into which ships of large tonnage can enter for
repairs. The
oysters taken off the coast are prized for their size and flavour. The
Northern Bank Company (Ltd.) has a branch in the town. Carrickfergus is the headquarters
of a coastguard division, as also of a constabulary district, comprising the
stations of Carrickfergus, Ballyclare, Whiteabbey, Ligoniel, Greencastle,
King's Moss, and Whitehouse. A branch of the Belfast and Northern Counties
Railway terminates at the town, and communication has been established
between this town and Larne by means of the Carrickfergus and Larne Railway. In 1851 the population of the county of the town was 8,520; in 1861,
9,417; in 1871, 9,397; and in 1881, 10,009

CARRICKMACROSS
A market town in County Monaghan, fifty one
miles N.W. by N. from Dublin, ten S. from Castleblayney, situated on the
mail road from Dublin to Londonderry. It derives its name from its situation
upon a rock (carricq.), and from one of its early properties, Ross, a
celebrated Irish Chieftain. The eastern part of this barony, lately
belonging to
the Marquis of Bath, is now the property of his former tenants, who
purchased under Lord Ashbourne's Act, and the western belongs to Sewallis
Evelyn, Esq., J.P., of Louth Fea Castle. The town consists of one wide principal street, with several
lanes diverging; the houses in the main street are uniformly built. A Roman
Catholic Chapel has recently been built. In 1844 a handsome Court House was
erected. A Police Barrack has been erected in the main street by the Marquis
of Bath. The Bridewell was built in 1836. The Parish Church, a neat stone edifice, was
erected in 1706. There are - a Dispensary, Fever Hospital, and a Union
Workhouse; a Free Grammar School, a School under the National Board of
Education, and a Parochial School. The market days are Wednesday and
Saturday for grain, and Thursday, general market. Fairs, second Thursday in

CASTLEDAWSON
Castledawson Town, in County Londonderry, about twenty four
miles from Belfast, is delightfully situated on the Moyola River, on the
road from Magherafelt to Ballymena, and rather more than two miles N.W. of
the north-western extremity of Lough Neagh. The river is crossed by a stone
bridge of one arch, supposed to be the largest span in Ireland, erected by
the Dawson family, and hence its former name of Dawson's Bridge. Its present
appellation is derived from its proprietor, Mr. Joshua Dawson, who, in
1710, was Chief Secretary for Ireland, and erected, in 1713, a castle, of
which only the ruins remain. The bridge was built in 1796. Moyola Park, the seat of the Dawson family,
adjoins the town, and is a beautiful demesne, through which passes an
ancient avenue, three miles in length, opening to a magnificent view of
Lough Neagh, to which it extends. The manufacture of cotton prevails in the
town and neighbouring district, and the making of coarse earthenware and
bricks is carried on extensively. The stained glass windows of the
Church are much admired, and the recent additions and renovation which it has
undergone makes it a perfect model. There are also places of worship for
Presbyterians and Wesleyan Methodists. A School House has recently been
erected at the entrance to Moyola Park by the Hon. Mrs. Dawson, at a cost of
upwards of £200, which makes four Schools in all under the National Board.
Population in 1881, 585.

CASTLEWELLAN
Is a thriving market town, in the County
of Down,
sixty three miles N. by E. from Dublin, nine S.W. from Downpatrick, ten from
Ballynahinch, and four miles from the fashionable watering place of
Newcastle. At the foot of Slieve-na-lat (or the Rod Mountain), and on the
shores of a beautiful lake, abounding with trout, stands the beautiful mansion of the Earl
of Annesley, who enjoys the title of Baron of
Castlewellan in the peerage of Ireland. Within two miles of the town is
Tollymore Park, the picturesque residence of the Earl of Roden. There is a branch of
the Northern Banking Company; also one Post Office Savings Bank. The linen
trade is carried on largely. The spinning, weaving, and bleaching concerns
of the Messrs. Murland are on an extensive scale, propelled by steam and
water power, and lighted by gas made on the premises. These enterprising and
public spirited gentlemen give large employment in the neighbourhood, and
greatly benefit the locality. The Parish Church was erected and endowed by Earl
Annesley, at a cost of or £7,000. It is built in the early English
style, of blue and white granite. There are also Presbyterian and Methodist
Churches, and a Roman Catholic Chapel, built entirely of Magheramayo
granite. It was designed by Messrs. Heavy & Thompson, Killyleagh. The
granite produced from the Magheramayo quarries is now known to be superior
to any in existence for endurance, and beauty when finished. The Court House stands in the centre
of the town, in which Petty Sessions are held once every month. The market
is on Monday, and the fairs monthly. Population in 1881, 888.

COLERAINE
Is a maritime town in
the N.E. Liberties of Coleraine, 145 miles N. from Dublin, comprising a
municipal area of 207 acres, in the County of Londonderry, 61 miles N. of
Belfast, 33 miles E. of Londonderry. It is a manufacturing and commercial
town, and is situated on the River Bann. The town has long been remarkable
for the fine quality of
its linen cloth, the excellence of its salmon fishery, and the beauty of its
rural scenery. The town is connected with Belfast and Londonderry by the
Northern Counties Railway, and the Derry Central Railway, also connects it with Garvagh, Kilrea, Maghera and
Magherafelt. The population in 1881 was 6,694. The
town is built on each side of the Bann, four miles from the sea, over which
is a splendid stone bridge of three arches, 96 yards in length by
32 in breadth, which cost £14,500; erected in 1844. The portion on
the west side of the Bann is called Waterside and Killowen. The public
buildings are two Parish Churches, three Presbyterian, one Independent, one
Methodist, one Baptist Meeting House, and two Roman Catholic Chapels; the
Town Hall, Court House, new Market Place, and an Endowed School. A new Town
Hall stands in the centre of the Diamond; it cost £5,000.
The Waterworks, which gives a never failing supply to the town, cost about
£9,000. The reservoir at Ballyrashane, three miles distant, is supplied by
two springs, which give
a yield of 260,000 gallons per diem. A National Model School and Academical
Institution are situated on the west side of the river adjoining
the town. Coleraine Parish Church, dedicated to St. Patrick, by whom it is
said to have been founded in the 5th century, is certainly one of the oldest
and most interesting churches in Ireland. It was rebuilt by the Hon. Irish
Society in the year 1611. It has lately been restored, enlarged, and
partially rebuilt at a cost of nearly £6,000, towards which the rector of
the parish has contributed £2,000, and the Hon. Irish Society £2,000. The linen trade has been long and extensively carried on
here, particularly in the fine description called "Coleraines,"
the annual sales of which have been known to amount to about £600,000; latterly this branch of
business has fallen off. Coleraine is rapidly
improving, a number of fine residences and handsome villas having been
erected during the last few years. There is a weaving factory, worked by
Messrs. Gribben & Sons, and a flourishing shirt factory, owned by Messrs. R.
H. & S. Rogers, of Addle Street, London, which not only gives employment to
workers in the town, but to the entire district around. There is also a
tanyard for the manufacture of leather. The
salmon and eel fisheries on the rivers Bann and Foyle are farmed at £4,650
by the Hon. the Irish Society to Messrs. Moore, Alexander & Co. The
recent extensive
improvements carried out for an increase in the depth of water
in the river and at the Bann mouth have been successful, and vessels of
large tonnage can now be brought up to the quay by the steam tug. The Hon.
Irish Society of London subscribed liberally towards the navigation scheme.
A steamer runs twice a week to and from Glasgow. A brisk trade is also
carried on between Portrush and Glasgow and Liverpool, a shipping port five
miles from Coleraine. The
property of the extinguished Corporation is now vested in the Commissioners,
elected under the Towns Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854; and the dues of
the River Bann, under the Bann Navigation Act, 1879, are vested in the
Coleraine Harbour Commissioners. The
Provincial, Belfast and Northern Banks have branches here. Coleraine has
also a Gas Works. The Workhouse was opened on the 11th April, 1842. The ancient Curfew Bell is still
rung at the Town Hall daily at 9 p.m., ending with tolling the day of the
month. Quarter Sessions are held here, and Petty Sessions every second
Friday. Fairs are held on the 12th May and 12th February, August, and November. Markets on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays
for grain; and Saturdays for general market. The town is the head quarters
of the Royal Irish Constabulary of the district. Value of rateable property, £17,062.

COMBER
Comber is a market town in County Down, fourteen miles from
Downpatrick, seven E.S.E. from Belfast, situated on the road from Belfast to
Downpatrick. There is a large square, where fairs and markets are held, and
in the centre of which stands a handsome Masonic monument, erected to the
memory of General Gillespie. The
river Comber, upon whose banks the town is situated, and from which its name
is derived, runs into Strangford Lough, on the east side of the parish, and
the tide flows to within a short distance of the town. There are two
extensive distilleries, corn mills, hotels, a bleach green, and a spinning
mill. The Church of Ireland is a neat little building. There are places of worship
for Presbyterians, Unitarians, Methodists, and a Roman Catholic
Chapel. The educational institutions are a School, founded by Viscountess
Castlereagh in 1813, one under Erasmus Smith's Charity, and Congregational
and National Schools. A National School is attached to the Second
Presbyterian Church called Smith's National School. There is also an Orange
Hall. The market is held on Tuesday. Fairs - January 5th, April 5th, June
28th, and October 19th. Population in 1881, 2,006.

COOKSTOWN
Is a flourishing and respectable market town in
the parish of Derryloran, Barony of Upper Dungannon, and County Tyrone. It
is very pleasantly situated on the Kildress
rivulet, and on the great north road from Armagh, 103 miles west by north
from Dublin, and 53 miles went from Belfast. Lewis' Topographical Dictionary
of Ireland says that "in 1847 the town contained 2,883 inhabitants. This
place derives its name from its founder, Allan Cook, who had a lease for
years renewable under the See of Armagh, upon whose land the old town was
built about the year 1609. It is situated on the mail coach road from
Dungannon to Coleraine, and consists of one wide street, more than a mile
and a quarter long, with another street intersecting it at right angles
containing 570 houses, many of which are large, well built with stone and
slated. The present town was built about the year 1750 by Mr. Stewart, its
then proprietor, and is advantageously situated in a fine and fertile
district, which is well wooded and watered, and abundantly supplied with
limestone. A patent for a market and fairs was granted to Allan Cook, August
3rd, 1628." The principal street bears in its different parts the respective
names (beginning at the north end) of Millburn Street, Oldtown Street,
William Street, James Street, Loy Street, Chapel Street, Church Street, and
Killymoon Street. The other streets are Molesworth Street, Union Street,
Coagh Street, Orritor Street, Waterloo Terrace, and Drum Road. Parts of
Millburn, Loy, Chapel, Church, and Killymoon Streets are lined with trees,
giving a pleasing appearance. The market days are Tuesday and Saturday; the
latter for general farm produce (which is brought in abundance), it being
one of the largest markets in the North of Ireland, and the former for grain
and grass seed. Population in 1871, 3,653; in 1881, 3,870.

COOTEHILL
A
market town in County Cavan, 66 miles N.N.W. from Dublin, South 15 miles from Monaghan, pleasantly situated on the
Cootehill river, and on the road from Dublin to Clones. The town consists of
four spacious streets, and the country around is embellished with some
handsome mansions. The linen business prevails in the district, but not so
extensively as formerly, and in the town are established branches of two
banks, a savings bank, and gas house, by which the town has been recently
lighted. The principal hotel here is the Bellamount Arms. General Sessions
of the Peace are held four times in the year, and Petty Sessions every
second Saturday; they are held in a neat Court House, at the back of which
is a secure Bridewell. There are seven places of worship - the Parish
Church, two Presbyterian Churches, one Methodist Church, a Meeting House for
the Society of Friends, a Moravian Chapel, and a Roman Catholic Chapel. The
Church, situated in the lower extremity of the town, fronting the Main
Street, is a large and handsome structure, in the Elizabethan or Tudor style
of architecture, with a tower surmounted by a spire. The charities comprise
a handsome School House, built by the Rev. J. R. Darley, for education, and
supported out of his own private purse; a Dispensary, a Union Workhouse,
and a School under the National Board of Education. The markets are held on
Friday and Saturday - the former for general produce and the latter for
grain. Fairs, third Friday in every month. Population, in 1861, 1,994; in

CRUMLIN
Is a
small post town, parish of Camlin, in the County Antrim, fourteen and one
third English miles W. by N. from Belfast, situated on the road between
Antrim and Lurgan, and two miles and a half E. of the head of a bay of Lough
Neagh. On the Camlin, which skirts the town, and from which river its name
is a corruption, an extensive factory has been erected on the site of the
old flour
mills for the manufacture of woollens and tweeds. It is a Limited Liability
Company, and is known as The Ulster Woollen Company. The brand on the goods
is a Round Tower. The tweed is known as Lough Neagh Tweed, and Mt. T. F.
Scott is managing director. Wood turning has been carried on to a very considerable extent during
the last few years, and is likely to be extended still further. At Mr.
Thomas Rea's mill, on the Crumlin
river, enormous quantities of chair legs, table legs, brush heads and
handles of all sizes, axe handles, spade and shovel shafts, and peg tops are turned out weekly.
There is also on the Camlin river a flax scutch mill and a saw mill, the
property of Mr. John Christie. From the situation of the town, near Lough Neagh, it
derives facility of communication by water with Belfast, Newry, Antrim,
Magherafelt, and other towns. Petty Sessions are held on the fourth Monday
of every month. The Parish Church was destroyed by the army of James II, in
1689. For the convenience of members, services in connection with the Irish
Church are held every Sunday evening at 4.30, in the Court House, Crumlin,
which are well attended. The Presbyterians and Unitarians have each a
place of worship; and there are two Free Schools and a Dispensary. One of
the schools was built and endowed by Major General the Hon. Sir H.
R. Pakenham, of Langford Lodge; the other is under the National Board of
Education. On the east side of the town is a station of the Dublin and
Antrim Junction Railway, which connects the Great Northern Railway with the
Northern Counties, thereby affording daily communications with Derry on the
North and Dublin on the South. Fairs - The first Monday, monthly. There is
also a market every Monday, for the sale of wheat, oats, potatoes, pork,
butter, eggs and fowl. Population in 1881, 342.
Post Office - Miss Margaret Campbell, postmistress. Letters
from Dublin, and all parts of the south of Ireland, also from England,
