CARNDONAGH
Situated in the Barony of Inishowen, in the County of
Donegal, and eighteen miles from Londonderry, is one of the best business
towns of its size in the North of Ireland. Encircled by the
neighbouring parishes, viz. - Moville, Buncrana, Clonmany, Malin and
Culdaff - Carndonagh, on account of its central position, is the emporium
of Inishowen on market and fair days. The stock and produce brought
to market from the neighbouring districts include horses, cattle, sheep,
pigs, fish, butter, eggs, poultry, potatoes and oats. The town is
divided into four streets, three of which intersect each other, with a
square besides, which is called The Diamond. On market days the
streets are almost impassable with the throng of people doing
business. Upwards of fifty tons of fish are brought to market weekly
during the winter months. There is a market every Monday, and
quarterly fairs are held on the 21st February, May, August, and November
respectively. The population is over 800. The places of worship
are - A Protestant Church, Presbyterian Meeting-house, Methodist Chapel,
and a Roman Catholic Chapel. Besides the business houses there are
two first class hotels, a branch of the Northern Banking Company Limited,
Police Barrack, Courthouse, Dispensary, Post Office, with which are
combined Money Order, Savings Bank, and Telegraph Offices. There are
two National Schools - one in town and one convenient to it, which was
lately erected at a cost of £600. Outside the town are the Roman
Catholic Convent and Union Workhouse. Various corn, flax, tuck and
threshing mills are supplied with water power by two rivers which pass
along the east and west sides of the town. These rivers also,
together with various lakes situated a few miles from town, afford good
fishing during the season, including salmon, where trout, brown trout, and
char. Lough Fad is celebrated for its beautiful char. These
rivers flow into an arm of the sea called Strabriga, which is 1¼ miles
distant, and is the nearest sea water to town. Strabriga, signifying
"lying strand," has a peculiar and mysterious history. In
addition to many stories about it, tradition says that a princely castle
was at one time swallowed by it, and the local boatmen affirm that at
certain times in the year the chimney tops of this castle are still visible
in the depths below. The only local public employment is that given
by a couple of shirt factories. A Petty Sessions Court is held once a
month, Quarter Sessions once a year, and Road Sessions twice a year.
Postal delivery twice daily. Turnaleage House, the residence of Captain J.
C. McClintock, the landlord of Carndonagh, renowned for good treatment to
his tenantry, is situated in a well wooded demesne about half a mile from
the town.

CARNLOUGH
Is a thriving village on the coast road between Larne and
the Giant's Causeway, and is forty miles north of Belfast. It is
pleasantly situated on the shore of a picturesque bay, having a good sandy
beach, which is a great attraction, and much frequented by visitors in
summer. A sewerage and water scheme has just been completed, and the
place now receives an abundant supply of wholesome water. The
extensive limestone quarries in the neighbourhood are connected with the
harbour by two lines of rail, and give employment to a large number of men
and boys. The waggons between quarries and harbour are drawn by a
steam locomotive. Garron Tower, built by the late Marchioness of
Londonderry, is a fine castellated residence, situated on a bold
promontory, four miles north from the village, commanding one of the finest
sea views on the coast. Garron Tower and grounds has recently been
let by the proprietor, Lord H. Vane Tempest, to Henry McNeill & Co.,
Larne, who expect still further to develop its attractions as one of the
greatest centres for tourists in the North of Ireland. The harbour,
which is safe and commodious, is much frequented by casting steamers and
vessels for the conveyance of limestone, lime, grain, kelp and iron
ore. There is a Town Hall and a Masonic Hall

CARRICKFERGUS
Carrickfergus - an ancient market town - is most pleasantly
situated on the north shore of Carrickfergus Bay, or Belfast Lough, 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 14, 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 Ormond, 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 old pier head, and is
known 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 distinct
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 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 the mines, four in number, are now being worked under
their control. Messrs. Charles Tennent & Co., chemical
manufacturers, of St. Rollox, Glasgow, opened a mine at Eden in 1889, and
the work is now carried on under the title of "The Chemical Salt
Company Limited." Messrs. William Vint & Sons, of
Carrickfergus, also opened a mine in the same district, the interest in
which they disposed of to Mr. Dundas Simpson, of Edinburgh, who had formed
a limited company, and the business is conducted in the name of "The
Salt Mines Syndicate," whose registered office is at Leith.
Recently another mine was sunk on Lord Downshire's property near Eden, and
salt was found at a depth of 432 feet from the surface. A new
Company, called "The Carrickfergus Salt Works Company Limited,"
has been formed to work the latter mine. The imports consist of coal,
timber, slates ; and the exports of grain, rocksalt and limestone.
The Parish Church of St. Nicholas possesses a few monumental memorials, the
most remarkable and worthy of note being one of the Chichester
family. Its public buildings are the Town hall, Market Place, Parish
Church, three Presbyterian, a Baptist, an Independent, a Methodist Church,
Roman Catholic Chapel, Courthouse, 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
Commonality 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. Up till 1894
the Municipal Commissioners were without rating powers, but in that year
they promoted a bill in Parliament which gives them power to levy rates for
sanitary and other purposes. 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 McCalmont. This town has much
improved of late, and the several factories in the neighbourhood contribute
greatly to its prosperity. The harbour has been enlarged, and is
connected on the west side with the Northern Counties Railway by means of a
railway constructed un 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. In the summer of 1891 the harbour
was dredged at a cost of nearly £1,000, the Public Works Loan
Commissioners having allowed the instalments of principal and interest on
the harbour loan to remain in abeyance, to enable the Harbour Commissioners
to carry out the dredging. The wooden ship building trade is now
almost obsolete, but iron ship building 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. Yacht
building and repairing is also an important industry at the yard of Mr.
John Hilditch, Governor's Place. The oysters taken off the coast are
prized for their size and flavour. The Northern Banking Company
Limited, has a branch in the town. Carrickfergus is the headquarters
of a coastguard division. There is a branch of the Royal National
Lifeboat Institution, and it is also the centre of a National Educational
district. 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
1891 the population of the county of the town was 8,909, and is now almost
9,210. By the Irish Local Government Act, 1898, the county of the
town was abolished and merged in the County Antrim. By the same Act
the Board of Municipal Commissioners was dissolved, and the duties taken
over by an urban District Council, consisting of 18 members and the
provisions of the Towns' Improvement (Ireland) Act, 1854, were made to
apply to the town forming the urban sanitary district.

CARRICKMACROSS
A market town in County Monaghan, fifty-one
miles N.W. by N. from Dublin, eleven S. from Castleblayney, situated on
the main road from Dublin to Londonderry. It derives its name from
its situation upon a rock (carricq), and from one of its early
proprietors, Ross, a celebrated Irish chieftain. The eastern part
of the barony now belongs to the former tenantry of the Marquis of Bath,
and the western to Mr. S. E. Shirley, of Lough Fea Castle. The town
consists of one wide principal street, with several lanes diverging; the
houses in the main street are uniformly built. Those on one side of
the street (the north) are all owned by the occupiers, Lord Bath having
sold all his town as well as his country property about ten years
ago. The houses on the other side (south) are held in yearly
tenancies under Mr. Shirley. A beautiful Roman Catholic Chapel
stands at the entrance to the town, and a handsome spire has just been
added at considerable cost. Here also is the Railway Station, a
terminus on the Great Northern line. In 1844 a commodious
Courthouse was erected. The Police Barrack is situated in Main
Street. A Bridewell was built in 1836, but is now disused.
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, Convent of St.
Louis, and a Parochial School. The market days are Saturday for
grain, and Thursday general market. Fairs for 1901 have been fixed
by the Town Commissioners, to be held on the 2nd Thursday of every
month. Gas was introduced in 1858. In 1899 Waterworks were
opened, which afford a plentiful supply of the best water, and splendid
pressure. Population in 1891 was 2,000

CARRICKMORE
Is a neat little village, situated in the parish of
Termonmaguirke, County Tyrone, almost midway between Dungannon and Omagh,
eleven miles from the former and nine from the latter. A mile to the
south of the village is Carrickmore Railway Station, on the Great Northern
line, between, Belfast and Londonderry. St. Columbkill founded a
religious establishment at Carrickmore, to which Termon lands were granted
as an endowment by the liberality of some of the native chiefs; his
residence, his bed, and well are still pointed out to strangers.
Immediately behind the railway station is Dunmisk Hill, with an ancient
rath on the top of it, where, tradition states, James II encamped for a
night on his way from Derry, and passed on afterwards through
Castlecaulfield. In those troublesome times the Rector of the parish
of Termonmaguirke (Rev. Roger Blythe) was hanged by the rebels. The
fair is held on the last Friday of the month, and the market for butter,
eggs and fowl, etc., every Friday. The population in 1891 was
113. The first Parish Church in Termon of which there is any record
was built in the year 1622, in the reign of James I., after the Settlement
of Ulster; its ruins are still standing in the old burial ground near the
modern Roman Catholic Chapel, which is built near the village. The
present Parish Church was built in 1792; the spire was erected in 1860, in
memory of the Rev. Charles Cobbe Beresford. Petty Sessions are held
on last Wednesday of each month.

CASTLEBLAYNEY
Castleblayney is a good market town, in which is carried on
a large retail trade with the surrounding country. It is situated on
the line of railway from Enniskillen to Dundalk, and in consequence is
easily accessible from Dublin and Belfast. The railway station is on
the north-west side of the town, and cars attend the different trains
during the day. On the other side of the town lies the beautiful
demesne belonging to Lord Francis Pelham Clinton Hope. This demesne,
part of which is open to the public daily between the hours of ten and six
o'clock, is largely patronised by pic-nic parties. The scenery is
excellent, and for wood and water few places, if any, in Ireland can excel
it. There are about 300 acres of wood, and Muckno Lake, which
entirely belongs to this demesne, contains about 1,000 acres. The
Black Island, which is surrounded by Muckno Lake, contains 300 acres; and
the White Island, which is also entirely surrounded by the lake, contains
14 acres. The grounds are exceedingly well kept. The Castle is
a very fine building. The Blayney Alms houses are built on the
outside boundary of the town on the road leading to Carrickmacross.
They were built in the year 1877, and endowed by Lord Blayney. Market
days - Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Fair day - First Wednesday in
every month. The population in 1871 was 1,809; in 1881, 1,814; and in
1891, 1,722

CASTLECAULFIELD
The pretty little town of Castlecaulfield is situated
almost in the centre of County Tyrone, and is one of the most prosperous of
the numerous villages and small towns by which it is surrounded. It
in a great measure owes its increasing prosperity to the extensive and
commodious factory, which not only gives employment to the inhabitants, but
to the surrounding district as well. The Postal arrangements are all
that could be desired, and the erection lately of a telegraphic
communication has rendered business more accommodating. The Parish
Church stands second to none for neatness and comfort, and Presbyterian and
Methodist denominations have also very comfortable and artistic
churches. The old castle and grounds are the chief features of
antiquity, and come in for a fair share of visitors during the summer
months. Two National Schools constitute the chief seats of learning,
being well attended by the juvenile population.

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, Mt. Joshua Dawson, who, in 1710, was Chief
Secretary for Ireland, and erected in 1713 a castle, which is occupied
by Lord and Lady Chichester and family. 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 on a magnificent view of Lough
Neagh, to which it extends. The making of bricks is carried on
extensively.

CASTLEDERG
The town of Castlederg stands on the banks of the River
Derg, and is situated in the centre of a thriving and prosperous
agricultural neighbourhood, twenty miles distant from Londonderry, ten
from Strabane, and seven from Victoria Bridge. An important horse,
cattle and general fair is held on the last Friday in each month, and a
market is held every Friday. The population of the town is under
1,000, but as a place of business it is of much more importance than the
number of inhabitants would indicate. It is connected with the
Great Northern Railway system at Victoria Bridge Station (seven miles
distant) by a Steam Tramway. The tram connects with all the
important trains during the day.

CASTLEROCK
Is a pleasant and rapidly rising watering place close to
the Belfast and Northern Counties Railway line, advancing in popularity
year after year, as shown by the increasing number of visitors who
annually patronise it. It has also become a favourite resort for
Sunday school excursionists. In bygone years its visitors were
almost entirely drawn from the City of Derry and Limavady districts, but
that has ceased, and it is now inhabited during the summer season by
holiday seekers from England and Scotland. Its residents are well
aware that their little watering place is without a rival in these
parts. Though relatively small, it has a decided look of
superiority. With the exception of several blocks of large houses,
it is made up of detached villas, each surrounded with tastefully
laid-out gardens and grounds. There is also a beautiful strand -
behind which are the sandhills, with their tufts of tall wiry looking
grass - which stretches along the coast, for nearly a mile, to the mouth
of the River Bann, where two piers - one 1,920 feet and the other 3,680
feet - extend from the sandhills seaward. There is good bathing
accommodation provided, and boxes are erected among the rocks for both
classes of bathers. On the western side of the town on the bold
headlands is situated Downhill Castle, the seat of Sir H. Hervey Bruce,
Bart., H.M.L., who was the last sitting member of Parliament for the
Borough of Coleraine. A little further on is Magilligan Strand,
which extends from the mouth of Downhill Tunnel to Magilligan Point, a
distance of seven miles, where a most commodious hotel has been erected
by Mr. George Leek, Magilligan, which will accommodate a goodly number
of tourists. Conveyances run from Magilligan Station to the Point
during the Holiday Season. This hotel affords visitors a splendid
opportunity of visiting the wild, romantic scenery of Donegal.
Negotiations are now being carried on with regard to a branch railway
from Magilligan Station to Magilligan's Point being constructed, and it
is confidently expected that the same will be in working order for the
summer season.

CASTLEWELLAN
Is a thriving 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
massive mansion of the Earl of Annesiey (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 a 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 much employment in the neighbourhood,
and greatly benefit the locality. The Parish Church was erected
and endowed by Earl Annesley, at a cost of over £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 Courthouse
stands in the centre of the town, in which Petty Sessions are held once
every month. Pork market every Wednesday. The market is on
Monday, and the fairs monthly. Population in 1891 was 902.

CLOUGH
AND CLOUGHMILLS
CLOUGH - A village in the parish of Dunaghy and barony of Kilconway,
County of Antrim, six miles north from Broughshane and eight from
Ballymena, two miles from Glarryford Station on the Belfast and Northern
Counties Railway, and one and a half miles from Clough Road Station on
the Ballymena and Parkmore Railway. On a remarkable long shaped
rocky crested eminence immediately north of the village and over topping
it is a massive rectangular gateway arch, the sole remnant of a strong
castle that in ancient times was occupied by a branch of the McDonnell
family, and a short distance to the south-west on another hill is the
old churchyard of Dunaghy, which is of an unusually large size, and
contains the roofless walls of the former Parish Church and many old and
interesting monuments of the Hamilton, Crawford, Boyd, and Emerson
families. The present Parish Church stands in the middle of the
village. It is a neat edifice, built in 1842 chiefly at the cost
of Mr. Sampson, the lord of the soil, and is adorned at the west end
with a handsome square, gothic tower, surmounted by four graceful
pinnacles.
CLOUGHMILLS - A village two miles north of Clough and ten from Ballyment
(Ballymena), with 300 inhabitants. It is a good business centre,
and a weekly market has of late been established in it on Wednesdays,
which is well attended. The Railway Station of Killagan (Belfast
and Northern Counties Railway) is one and a half miles distant.
The mills from which the place takes its name are still employed in
grinding corn and scutching flax.
