BALLYMENA

          Ballymena is a stirring, business, and thronged market inland town, in the County of Antrim - twenty seven and three quarters miles from Belfast - pleasantly situated two miles above the confluence of the Braid and the main waters, and on the high road from Belfast to Coleraine and Londonderry. Large quantities of linen cloth are manufactured in the neighbourhood, and brought to the Ballymena bleach greens, of which there are many in the vicinity of the town, where the water is abundant and pure. It holds the highest position as a linen market in the United Kingdom. General Sessions of the Peace are held four times a year, and Petty Sessions every fortnight. There is a Town Hall, a Court House, a large Protestant Hall, a couple of Temperance halls, a Roman Catholic hall, and four commodious hotels. There is a Cottage Hospital situate at the "People's Park." There are branches of the Belfast Banking Company, the Northern Banking Company, the Ulster Banking Company, and the Provincial Bank of Ireland. There are also a Newsroom, a Protestant Society, and a Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association, and other useful societies. There are three local newspapers - "Ballymena Observer," (established in 1855), and the "Ballymena Advertiser," and the "Ballymena Weekly Telegraph" - published on Friday. The Parish Church (totally destroyed by fire towards the close of 1879, and since splendidly restored at a cost of over £8,000), is beautifully situated adjoining the demesne of Lord Waveney, at the head of Castle Street, was completed and opened for Divine service in 1855. Every window in the edifice is of richly stained glass. The total cost of the Church was, originally, about £5,000, the whole of which sum, except £1,500, was provided by Lord Waveney (then Colonel Adair), the late lord of the soil. It is called the Church of St. Patrick, and is universally regarded as a model of architectural taste. In connection with this church is a new Parochial School House, which cost £1,500; and a Diocesan School House was established in 1827. There are five Presbyterian Churches, a Roman Catholic Chapel, one Methodist, and a Baptist Meeting House, and an Independent Church. A local Linen Company was established in 1864, and an extensive Yarn spinning factory has been erected near Bridge Street, the capital invested in this concern being £50,000; whilst a large Weaving factory has been built convenient to the Leighinmohr bleachworks, at enormous expense. There are also a large flour mill and other public works in the town. There are four weekly markets - namely, on Tuesday, for pork; on Wednesday, for grain; on Thursday, for pork; but the principal one is on Saturday, and it is a large linen market. Fairs, 26th July and 21st October, and the last Friday in every month. Population in 1861, 6,774; 1871, 7,931; and in 1881, 8,883

BALLYSHANNON

          Is a market town and seaport (formerly a Parliamentary borough) in the County of Donegal. The harbour looks right through the centre of the bay's entrance into the open Atlantic. Immediately above the head of the harbour a large body of the Erne water falls tumultuously over a ridge of rocks sixteen feet above the level of the ordinary tides, and forms a cataract beautiful and interesting. This is one of the finest, if not the finest, salmon leap in all Ireland. About 75 tons of salmon are taken annually, and so good is the eel fishery that upwards of 10 tons have been taken in one night at one weir. Nearly five hundred yards above the fall a handsome stone bridge, of fourteen arches, connects the two portions of the town. The fishing commences about the middle of April, and continues till the latter end of August. A new Court House has been erected on the Mall. There are also two banks, the Belfast and the Provincial; the Belfast, a most ornamental building surmounted by a clock tower, cost £4,000; a Union Workhouse, a Dispensary, Public Schools, and a Barrack - the last is unoccupied. A Harbour Board has been formed, and improvements to the harbour and its entrance are being carried out. The Parish Church, a very neat structure, surmounts the summit of a hill on the West side of the town. Presbyterian and Wesleyan Methodists have churches, and within the parishes to which the town belongs are other places of worship for various religious denominations. There are also two Roman Catholic Chapels. The market - a good one for grain, besides the usual commodities, is held on Saturday. There is also a market on Thursday for flax and pork during the season. The fairs are held on the second day of every month, except on 17th September. Population in 1871, 2,958; 1881, 2,840. The population in 1890 is about 3,000

BALLYWALTER

          Ballywalter is a neat, clean and thriving little post and seaport town on the east coast of County Down, about six miles in a southerly direction from Donaghadee, eight miles from Newtownards, and sixteen from Belfast. It contains nearly 1,000 inhabitants, and is situated within a parish of the same name, otherwise called Whitechurch and anciently Templefyn. Except that it is intersected by a few houses near its centre, it consists almost entirely of a long wide street running parallel with the sea, and having in view the Isle of Man, the Mull of Galloway, and the south-west coast of Scotland. The houses are good, and remarkable for cleanliness; the sidepaths are well paved and kirbed with granite, except at its northern end, which requires improvement. It is also remarkable for its beautiful strand - one of the finest along the entire coast - and for the salubrity of its air, and the orderly, peaceable disposition of its inhabitants, and, as proof, has neither doctor nor policeman. Of late it has become the favourite resort of the citizens of Belfast; and, owing to the enterprising efforts of Mr. Hamill B. Glover, who has established a temperance hotel and dining rooms, not less than 10,000 people visited the curious little town during 1889. Well appointed brakes from Belfast pour into it in their hundreds daily; and coaches, in connection with Messrs. Moores' Belfast and Bangor steamers, add greatly to the number. The town and adjoining lands are the joint property of Captain J. D. Hamill Stuart, representative of the Hamill family, whose ancient seat, Ballyatwood House, is about half a mile distant; and of John Mulholland, Esq., D.L., whose beautiful mansion and demesne are close to its southern extremity. The public buildings most noticeable are the Coastguard Station, a large block of houses built of blue stone, also the Second Presbyterian Church, which has been re-erected by its members and friends at a cost of nearly £3,000, with a tower of 100 feet, erected by the widow of the late Henry Gamble, who for many years ministered to this congregation. The present minister of the new church is the Rev. John Rogers. There is also a First Presbyterian Church, a large new church situated on an elevated position overlooking the town - the Rev. J. Anderson is the minister; also two very handsome School houses, built at the sole expense of Mr. and Mrs. Mulholland. There is also a very pretty little parish church, and close to it is the residence of the Rev. J. O'Reilly Blackwood, rector of the parish.

BANGOR

          A seaport town in the County of Down, ten miles from Belfast. The town is very ancient. It is said the first stone and lime house erected in Ireland was built in Bangor. Close to the Episcopal Church is to be seen part of the ancient Abbey walls destroyed by the Danes in 821. The town has greatly improved; the harbour is commodious; the pier on which a sum of £5,000 was expended by the proprietor R. E. Ward, Esq. This, however, has become quite inadequate to meet the requirements of the place, and steps are being taken towards the erection of a new pier and the extension of the harbour. There is a fine beach, well adapted for bathing. The shore on all sides of the bay is clad with houses and villas for the convenience of the people visiting this favourite resort. Steamers ply between Belfast and Bangor several times daily during the summer season. The principal hotels - "The Royal" and "The Mermaid" are in most agreeable positions, facing the sea, commanding beautiful views of the Lough and of the County Antrim on the opposite side; "The Imperial" in Main Street, which is a very comfortable, and convenient to the trains; "The Commercial" in Main Street; "The Grande" upon the Parade; and "The Stag's Head" at the foot of Ballymagee Street, are all well patronised. The "Pickie" Hotel is very pleasantly situated on a terrace immediately over looking Pickie Rock. These conveniences and attractions, together with hot and cold baths, render this one of the most agreeable localities during the Summer months. Bangor Castle, the residence of the part proprietor of the town, Mr. R. E. Ward, D.L., J.P., is surrounded by an extensive demesne, tastefully planted, and is contiguous to the town; and the home residence of His Excellency the Earl of Dufferin and Ava is within two miles of the town. A Court of Petty Sessions is held by the magistrates of County Down on the first and third Wednesday of each month, at 11 o'clock a.m. The Masonic Fraternity possess a magnificent Hall, recently built, principally through the exertions of Lord Clanmorris. The new Parish Church is situated in Hamilton Street, and is a fine specimen of Gothic architecture. There are three Presbyterian Churches. The one formerly occupied by the Second Congregation is vacant at present, the minister and congregation having recently erected a very handsome edifice for public worship in Main Street. The Methodists have one place of worship. There is also recently erected a Roman Catholic Chapel, and Orange and Templar's Halls. A parochial school, an infant school, and a dispensary are the established charities. Fairs - January 12, May 1, August 1 & November 22. Population in 1861, 2,531; in 1871, 2,560; 1881, 3006. Bangor is under the Towns' Improvement Act for Ireland (1854); and the Commissioners have had public pumps erected in the streets, and the town is lighted with gas. The sewerage system is good, and the supply of water abundant. The Belfast Banking Company Limited, have a branch here. The "Bangor Gazette" is the local newspaper.

Post Office, Main Street - John Matthews, postmaster.  Letters from Dublin, Belfast, Scotland, and North of England arrive at 7-20 a.m. and 12-45 and 4-0 p.m., and are despatched at 10-45 a.m., 12-45 and 5-45 p.m.

BESSBROOK

          The population of which numbers about 5,000, is situated in a beautiful and well watered valley, convenient to the Camlough Mountains, and about two and a half miles from Newry, and three miles by electric tramway. The scenery, from the combined effect of hill, vale, and wood, is very attractive. The town is the property of Mr. John G. Richardson, who has spared no expense or trouble to make it, what it is sometimes called, "the model town." In this he has received the heartiest support from the other members of the Bessbrook firm. The town has certain peculiarities. In the first place, it is without a public house, and recently the house holders, when their opinion was tested by a vote, declared by a majority of six to one that they were satisfied with this arrangement. In the second place, no police barrack has been erected or required there. Bessbrook is remarkable for its yarn and linen manufactories. The process of manufacture is carried on in it from the growth of flax to the finished article - family linen, a pocket handkerchief, or a table cloth. The firm employs over 4,000 people in the production of these various articles, and their huckabacks, towelling, fronting linens, drills, diapers, and damasks, are known the wide world over. The damasks made at Bessbrook by machinery are equal in fineness to those made by hand looms. The company have also extensive quarries, where the beautiful blue granite is hewn out, dressed and polished for different markets. It is now extensively used in England, Scotland, and America for monumental and other purposes. In "Johnston's Guide to Philadelphia" (speaking of the Bessbrook exhibits at the exhibition there) we find the following - "A large portion of the make population of Bessbrook is employed in the Granite Quarries, which supply, for monumental purposes, the blue and grey granites so difficult to procure elsewhere. The stone has been largely used in the erection of some of the finest public buildings, and the polished staircase in the Manchester Town Hall was supplied from the Bessbrook Granite Works. The religious denominations are well represented. The inhabitants generally are remarkable for their regular attendance at their respective places of worship. A fine structure is that belonging to the Irish Church, capable of holding 500 or 600 people. The Presbyterians have also a commodious church, seated for a similar number. The Friends have a place of worship, large enough to accommodate 700 or 800, and the Wesleyans have a neat chapel. The Roman Catholic Chapel is a spacious edifice. The village has a medical dispensary, a news room, and a lending library, a town hall, and young men's institute. In the winter months the news-room is well patronised, and the library, which contains a careful selection of elegant works, is largely used by the work people. The day school is divided into three departments - boys, girls and infants - under efficient teachers. Some idea of the attendance may be formed from the fact that there are three principal teachers, six assistants, and five paid monitors and monitresses. The town, which presents a clean and even picturesque appearance, is adorned with two squares, suitably planted. It has also a capital ball alley and ample cricket ground. Contiguous to its fine mill pond are neat plantations, interspersed by walks, making a pleasant promenade for the operatives, who, as a rule, are temperate, healthy, and contented.
