Newry and Mourne in 1914: A Directory
Newry and Mourne in 1914: A Directory
IN 1914:
A DIRECTORY
INTRODUCTION
Printed street directories were common in the nineteenth and early twentieth
centuries. This resource is based on the Belfast and Province of Ulster Directory
for 1914. It contains information on each of the towns and larger villages in the
Newry and Mourne area. For each there is a brief description, followed by lists
of the local gentry, professional people (including clergy, doctors and solicitors),
images of some of the businesses and individuals mentioned in the directory. All
the images (unless otherwise stated) come from the Newry and Mourne
Museum Collection.
At the back of the resource there is a glossary, which gives definitions for some
of the more unusual occupations found in the directory. There is also a short list
of suggested educational tasks for teachers to use with the resource in the
classroom.
ANNALONG
Annalong is a Post Town in County Down, situated on the road from Kilkeel to Newcastle. The
town, though small, has a large harbour, where a great fishing industry exists. A lot of trade
is done in shipping granite to parts of the United Kingdom, a material found in the Mourne
Mountains. There is also a Presbyterian Church in the town, and an excellent National School,
which was built in 1890, at a cost of £700. The Church of Ireland and the Methodist Chapel
are also in the immediate vicinity of the town. Population, 291.

HILLTOWN
Hilltown is a village with a population of 220, in the Parish of Clonduff, Barony of Upper
Iveagh, County Down, on the road from Newry to Newcastle, eight miles from the former and
ten from the latter. The nearest railway station is Ballyroney, six miles distant, on the Great
Northern Railway. It is situated on the north-west verge of the Mourne Mountains, near the
River Bann, where there is excellent trout fishing. There is a remarkably good hotel. The
bracing air, the pretty mountain scenery, and beautiful drives, which may be enjoyed by
visitors through the surrounding district are attracting an increasing number of visitors each
year. The name Hilltown is taken from the surname of the Marquis of Downshire, who owns
the property, and by whose ancestors the village was built. A monthly fair is held on the
second Tuesday of every month. The Marquis of Downshire in 1897 presented to the
inhabitants a weighbridge, beam and scales, and a market shed. The ancient Parish Church,
which was ruined in 1641, was situated about a mile from and a half east of the village and
some of the walls still remain in an old graveyard, and are of interest to antiquarians. The
present Parish Church was built by the Marquis of Downshire in 1765. It is a neat building with
a pinnacled tower, and is a striking object. The Clonduff Co-operative Society have purchased
the large buildings and offices lately occupied by Mr. H. H. Martin, Bannvale, and the Society
have had it renovated. There is a beautiful Parochial Hall, built by Rev. Mr. Kearns, close to
the village, and a reading-room is about to be opened for the young men of the parish.

The flourishing town of Kilkeel is situated near the southern extremity of the County of Down,
in the Barony of Mourne, and is half a mile from the open coast. The town is composed of five
streets, and contains 1,620 inhabitants. The houses are well built, and several handsome
residences have lately been erected. The religious edifices are—The Church of Ireland, two
Presbyterian Churches, a Moravian Church and a Roman Catholic Chapel. Petty Sessions are
held on the last Tuesday of each month. A number of vessels discharge coal at the pier. Kilkeel
boasts of a large number of fishing luggers, and the hardy fishermen pursue their calling with
perseverance. About twelve minutes’ walk from Kilkeel there is a splendid sea strand. The
scenery of the district is remarkably fine, and tourists’ trips through it by coach are becoming
increasingly popular.

NEWRY
Newry is an extensive market town and Parliamentary borough in Down and Armagh
Counties, fifty miles north of Dublin and thirty from Belfast. It comprises, within the
Parliamentary boundary, 2,543 acres, of which 629 are in the town, and 1,914 in the rural
districts. It is situated near the mouth of the Clanrye River, which discharges itself into the
Carlingford Bay, five miles from the town. There are eight bridges, four of which are stone,
and cross the river separating the Counties of Armagh and Down; the others are iron and
wooden drawbridges across the canal.
Newry is a very ancient town. In 1175, Maurice McLoughran, King of Ireland, founded an
abbey here, to which great immunities and endowments were granted, and afterwards
confirmed by Hugh de Lacy, Earl of Ulster, in 1237. In 1689 the Duke of Berwick, to secure his
retreat to Dundalk from the English forces, under the command of the Duke of Schomberg,
set fire to Newry, and left it in a very destitute and ruined condition.
The northern entrance of the town is adorned with an elegant obelisk of chiselled granite,
erected in honour of the late Mr. Trevor Corry, who for many years was a magistrate in the
town. Immediately opposite is the Orange Hall, erected on a site granted by the Marquis of
Downshire. There is also a Masonic Hall.
There are several corn and flour mills, two weaving factories and spinning mills, tan-yards, a
foundry, and a spade and shovel manufactory. A fair is held on the first Monday of each
month, and the market days are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. The port admits vessels
of 2,000 tons burthern to Warrenpoint, five miles from the town, where the larger vessels
remain, but those drawing fifteen feet of water can go up by ship canal to the Albert Basin,
Newry. Barges ply on the Newry canal to Lough Neagh, thirty-two miles distant inland. The
Newry Port and Harbour Trust have control of the port and canal, the latter of which extends
along the west side of the river, and that company has recently deepened the channel so as
to admit of large ships discharging at the Victoria Locks. The Dundalk and Newry Steam Packet
Company has done much to develop the trade of the town. The principal exports are linen,
cloth, grain, provisions, cattle, eggs, and butter. In the neighbourhood of the town there are
valuable quarries. A spacious Town Hall, capable of accommodating about 1,200 people, has
been erected on the bridge spanning the tidal river at a cost of some £11,500. There is also
an Intermediate School in Downshire Road, erected on a site leased at a nominal rent by the
Marquis of Downshire. The Newry Technical School was formally opened by Mr. P. G.
Hamilton Carvill, B.L., M.P., in 1903, the Right Honourable Sir Horace Plunkett also being
present, and is located in the building known as the “Old Town Hall”. It is at the present one
of the best Institutions of its kind in the North of Ireland outside of Belfast. The population at
the census of 1911 was 11,963.

Newtownhamilton is in the Barony of Upper Fews, nine miles south by east from Armagh,
eight miles west of Newry, and thirteen miles from Dundalk. It is pleasantly situated, and
impresses a stranger favourably on entering from Armagh or Castleblayney. There are five
good streets and a large square. The houses are well built and kept in good order. There is a
market, held every Saturday, for the sale of butter, eggs, fowl, corn and grass-seed, and a
splendid fair is held on the last Saturday of each month, which is well attended by buyers from
all the surrounding towns. Hiring fairs are held on the last Saturdays of May and November,
and the first Saturdays of June and December. Farmers make a great feature of dairying, as
the land about the town is good grass land; it is also suitable for raising potatoes, oats and
flax, the latter bringing very high prices in the Newry and Armagh markets. The local mills are
attended by buyers from Bessbrook, Armagh and Belfast. The Fane Valley and White Cross
Creameries are within three miles of the town and do a large business. The Church of Ireland,
Presbyterian and Roman Catholic Churches have each a place of worship, and there are three
schools and a dispensary. Petty sessions are held on the second Monday of every month.
Population 625.

ROSTREVOR
Rostrevor is a beautiful watering-place in County Down, nearly two miles east of Warrenpoint,
and similarly situated as Warrenpoint. Rostrevor is completely sheltered from the east winds
by mountains, and thus an advantageous place, in point of climate, for invalids, and
particularly recommended for persons afflicted with pulmonary disorders. The village 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. The
Great Northern 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, and commands views of Carlingford Lough and mountains on
the one side, with the charming Slieve Ban Mountain and wood on the other.
In the south of the town stands a handsome stone monument, erected to the memory of the
late General Ross, who fell while leading his troops to victory at Bladensburg, in America. The
Church of Ireland forms a conspicuous object to the quiet aspect of the place. There are also
a Presbyterian Church, a Roman Catholic Chapel, and a Methodist Church, the latter erected
in memory of Rev. John Gilchrist.
Places of Worship

WARRENPOINT
One of the most popular watering-places in Ulster, it is situated at the head of the beautiful
bay of Carlingford, and is about five miles from Newry. A century ago Warrenpoint (so called
from the circumstances of a rabbit-warren having formerly existed at the place) could only
boast of a few houses; its population now is 2,000 and in summer reaches 5,000. The entire
place has an air of comfort and prosperity that at once favourably impresses health-seekers.
The situation of Warrenpoint, built as it is on the verge on the mountain-girth bay, is excellent;
and the view from the pleasant promenade is one of inspiring grandeur. Dr. Knox, referring
to the town in “Irish Watering Places” says—“It is scarcely possible anywhere to point out a
more beautiful district than that lying between Rostrevor and the large seaport of Newry.”
The roads in the neighbourhood of Warrenpoint are particularly inviting, and in about twenty
minutes an ordinary pedestrian can reach Narrow-water Castle, the residence of Captain
Roger Hall, J. P., one of the most beautiful seats in the country. The house is an imposing
structure, the gardens are models, and the drive through the thickly-wooded demesne is a
thing to be remembered.
The Urban Council have now erected magnificent sea baths, with promenade deck, at a cost
of £5,500. During 1909 the Urban Council expended £1,000 on a new and elaborate system
of slipper baths, making them the most up-to-date in the kingdom.

3. Choose one of the towns or villages in the directory. Make a list of the
shops that it contained in 1914, for instance, grocers, butchers, bakers.
4. In 1914 there were far more people producing and selling local goods (for
example farmers, drapers, boot makers, linen factories, etc.) than there
are today. Why do think this was the case?
5. There are many jobs listed in the directory that no longer exist today (e.g.
millwright, spinning master, cork cutter). Why do you think this is?
6. Can you find your own surname in the directory? If so, how many times
does it appear?
7. Why do you think so many of the main towns and villages in Newry and
Mourne are situated close to rivers and / or the sea?
8. Why is a harbour useful to the growth of a town and what sort of activities
took place there in 1914?
9. List five products / goods that were transported by boat from Newry and
Mourne.
