Excerpt: "Portadown", from SLATER's Royal National Commercial Directory of Ireland [1881]

PORTADOWN,

A MARKET town, partly in the parish of SEAGOE, barony of O'Neiland East, but
chiefly in the parish of DRUMCREE, barony of O'Neilland West, county of
Armagh, is 84 miles N. from Dublin, 26 S.W. by W. from Belfast, 19 W.S.W.
from Lisburn, 15 E. from Dungannon, 10 N.E. by N. from Armagh, 4 S. from
Lough Neagh, 6-1/2 E. by N. from Loughgall, 5-1/2 S.W. from Lurgan, the same
distance N.E. from Richhill, and 4-1/2 N.W. by N. from Gilford; eligibly
situated on the river Bann, over which is a stone bridge of five arches,
connecting it with the small suburb of EDENDERRY, in the parish of SEAGOE.
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
point loses itself in the sea below Coleraine, thus forming, in connection
with the canal, a water communication between that place and Newry. this is
now but little used, consequent on the opening of railway communication with
all parts of the country. The Great Northern and the Ulster lines of
railway have a joint station conveniently close to the town. The ancient
name of this place was Port-ne-doon, signifying the "Port of the fortified
eminence," from a castle of the M'Cann's, who occupied this important
station, commanding the pass of the river Bann. In the reign of Charles I,
Portadown consisted of no more than three or four small houses, and was
granted by that monarch, with the estate, to J. P. Obyns, Esq. It now
consists of a well-built principal street, and several smaller streets
branching from it in various directions. In 1780 a general grain market was
established by the late Major Obyns and John Woodhouse, Esq. and of late
years the weekly sales of corn have greatly increased. The trade in other
agricultural produce is also great, and is much promoted by the situation of
the place, in the centre of an extensive and fertile district, and the
facile means in possession of transmission to distant parts. The
manufacture of linen, cambric, and sheeting is carried on extensively in the
town and neighbourhood, and affords employment to a considerable number of
persons. Banking accommodation is amply supplied by branches of the Bank of
Ireland, the Belfast Banking Company, and the Ulster Banking Company. Petty
sessions are held on the second and fourth Mondays in each month. The
general appearance of the town is cleanly and respectable. The principal
street contains a number of excellent retail establishments. The town is
also well lighted with gas, and is governed by a chairman and commissioners
elected triennially under the Towns Improvement Act of 1834.
The Protestant Episcopal 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 ; and the parish church of Seagoe, which forms a very
pleasing object in the landscape, stands about an English mile north, in the
midst of a finely wooded and well-cultivated district. St. Mark's church, a
neat structure with a square tower, stands in the town: as do also
Presbyterian meeting houses, and chapels respectively for Primitive and
Wesleyan Methodists. The Roman Catholic church is situated in William
street. The charitable institutions comprise dispensaries for the sick
poor, a fever hospital, and public schools. The court house and news room,
in High street, is a handsome and ornamental structure. A good market place
and shambles were erected by subscription, and placed under the
superintendence of a committee. The general market is held on Saturday, and
one for grain, hay and straw on Wednesday. Fairs, the third Saturday in
every month. The town contained in 1861, 5,528 inhabitants, and in 1871,
6,735.
