Banbridge is a town in County Down, Northern Ireland. It lies on the River Bann and the A1 road and is named after a bridge built over the River Bann in 1712. Banbridge is situated in the civil parish of Seapatrick and the historic barony of Iveagh Upper, Upper Half.
The town began as a coaching stop on the road from Belfast to Dublin and thrived from Irish linen manufacturing. The town is the headquarters for Banbridge District Council. The town's main street is very unusual, and rises to a steep hill before levelling out. In 1834 an underpass was built as horses with heavy loads would faint before reaching the top of the hill. It was built by William Dargan and is officially named 'Downshire Bridge', though it is often called The Cut.
Banbridge, home to the Star of the County Down, is a relatively young town, first entering recorded history around 1691 during the aftermath of the struggle between William III and James II. An Outlawry Court was set up in the town to deal with the followers of James. Banbridge has staged an annual busking competition and music festival called Buskfest since 2004. Performers often travel long distances to participate. The competition closes with an evening concert composed of performances by world-famous artists. Recently, Banbridge has been twinned with Ruelle in France.
Like the rest of Ireland, the Banbridge area has long been divided into townlands, whose names mostly come from the Irish language. Banbridge sprang up in a townland called Ballyvally. Over time, the surrounding townlands have been built upon and they have lent their names to many streets, roads and housing estates. The following is a list of townlands within Banbridge's urban area.
Near the town lie the ancient Lisnagade Fort, Legannany Dolmen, and the Loughbrickland Crannóg, constructed around the year 500 AD. Thomas Ferguson & Co Ltd factory tours. The town is situated a short distance from the Brontë Homeland in Rathfriland- the church at which Patrick Brontë preached often hosts musical performances by well-known artists, e.g. Eddi Reader.
Banbridge is on the A1 main road between Belfast and Newry. The nearest railway station is Scarva on Northern Ireland Railways' Belfast–Newry railway line, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of Banbridge. Banbridge had its own railway station from 1859 until 1956. The Banbridge, Newry, Dublin and Belfast Junction Railway opened Banbridge (BJR) railway station on 23 March 1859.

Amelia Bambridge: Post-mortem confirms British backpacker drowned
Amelia Bambridge: Post-mortem confirms British backpacker drowned. A post-mortem has confirmed that British backpacker Amelia Bambridge drowned, a Cambodian official has said. The 21-year-old's body was discovered in waters near the Thai border, around 62 miles away from where she went missing, on Thursday. The governor of Preah Sihanouk province said her body was examined at the main hospital in the city of Sihanoukville in Cambodia. The police chief earlier said the post-mortem would be attended by forensic police, a hospital doctor, a court prosecutor, a representative of the British embassy and members of Ms Bambridge's family. Her mother, Linda Schultes, was seen arriving at the hospital on Friday along with other family members. Ms Bambridge, a gap year student from Worthing, was last seen at a beach party on Koh Rong island at 3am on 24 October. She was travelling on her own for the first time and had been due to check out of the Nest Beach Club hostel later that day. The police chief said her family was with the authorities when they found the body floating off Koh Chhlam, an island in neighbouring Koh Kong province. Her brother, Harry Bambridge, later confirmed the news on social media, writing: I've just seen her and I can confirm it's my little sister Amelia. I'm so sorry to all her friends and family, there's nothing more I wanted then (sic) to bring her back alive and I really f****** tried. And I'm sorry to you, Amelia Bambridge, the round is on me when we meet again in heaven. Her sister Sharon Schultes also wrote an emotional tribute on the family's fundraising page. She said: I have had the most horrific confirmation that my sister Amelia Bambridge was found and she is no longer with us. It breaks my heart to let all my close family and friends know the horrendous outcome that we didn't want. Now we have to get our Amelia back home to England so we can lay her beautiful soul to rest and to remember the wonderful life she lived. Thank you for all the support we've had, please continue to do all you can so we can get all our family home with Amelia safely. The fundraising page has raised nearly £17,000 to date. Cambodia's deputy navy commander said the body had been spotted by a fisherman, who notified authorities. Police said on Thursday that early indications suggested drowning as the cause of death. A total of 147 police, navy and military personnel were joined by volunteers who searched both the mainland and sea for the Briton. Police focused their search on the coast and sea after Ms Bambridge disappeared from Police Beach, where her handbag was found with her purse, phone and bank cards inside. Earlier this week, six men, who are all Cambodian and work in bars and hotels on Koh Rong island, were brought in for questioning in connection with her disappearance. They have since been released without charge. After Ms Bambridge's body was found, Tim Loughton, MP for East Worthing and Shoreham, tweeted: Devastated to hear the terribly sad news about Amelia Bambridge this morning - the thoughts and prayers of everyone in Worthing are with her family and friends.

Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Places to see in ( Lurgan - UK )
Lurgan is a town in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. The town is near the southern shore of Lough Neagh and in the north-eastern corner of the county. Lurgan is about 18 miles (29 km) south-west of Belfast and is linked to the city by both the M1 motorway and the Belfast–Dublin railway line. It had a population of about 23,000 at the 2001 Census. It is within the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon district.
Lurgan is characteristic of many Plantation of Ulster settlements, with its straight, wide planned streets and rows of cottages. It is the site of a number of historic listed buildings including Brownlow House and the former town hall.
Historically the town was known as a major centre for the production of textiles (mainly linen) after the industrial revolution and it continued to be a major producer of textiles until that industry steadily declined in the 1990s and 2000s. The development of the 'new city' of Craigavon had a major impact on Lurgan in the 1960s when much industry was attracted to the area. The expansion of Craigavon's Rushmere Retail Park in the 2000s has affected the town's retail trade further.
Lurgan sits in a relatively flat part of Ireland by the south east shore of Lough Neagh. The two main formations in north Armagh are an area of estuarine clays by the shore of the lough, and a mass of basalt farther back. The earliest human settlements in the area were to the northwest of the present day town near the shore of the lough. When the land was handed to the Brownlow family, they initially settled near the lough at Annaloist, but later settled where the town was eventually built. The oldest part of the town, the main street, is built on a long ridge in the townland (baile fearainn) of Lurgan. A neighbouring hill is the site of Brownlow House, which overlooks Lurgan Park.
Lurgan has historically been an industrial town in which the linen industry predominated as a source of employment during the Industrial Revolution, and is said to have employed as many as 18,000 handloom weavers at the end of the 19th century, a figure significantly higher than the town's resident population at the time.
Lurgan town centre is distinctive for its wide main street, Market Street, one of the widest in Ireland, which is dominated at one end by Shankill Church in Church Place. A grey granite hexagonal temple-shaped war memorial sits at the entrance to Church Place, topped by a bronze-winged statue representing the spirit of Victorious Peace. A marble pillar at the centre displays the names of over 400 men from the town who lost their lives in the First World War.
At the junction of Market Street and Union Street is the former Lurgan Town Hall, a listed building erected in 1868. It was the first site of the town's library in 1891, was temporarily used as a police station in 1972 when it was handed to the Police Authority, and is today owned by the Mechanics' Institute and is available for conferences and community functions.
Lurgan railway station opened by the Ulster Railway on 18 November 1841, connecting the town to Belfast Great Victoria Street in the east and Portadown and Armagh in the west. The Great Northern Railway of Ireland provided further access to the west of Ulster which was then closed in the 1950s and 1960s from Portadown railway station. Presently Lurgan railway station is run by Northern Ireland Railways with direct trains to Belfast Great Victoria Street and as part of the Dublin-Belfast railway line. The Enterprise runs through Lurgan from Dublin Connolly to Belfast Central, and a change of train may be required at Portadown to travel to Newry or Dublin Connolly.

They Were The Few...Tim Kent with The Petworth Town Band 24 March 2012.wmv
This new song They Were The Few is about The Battle of Britain. It was conceived and written by Barry Turner and Tim Kent. The Musical arrangement for Brass / Wind Band is by Richard Baker. This is its first world public performance with a band backing the vocals. Tim Kent sings the song with The Petworth Town Band during a concert at Billingshurst Village Hall on Saturday 24th March 2012. The audience of around 120 were very appreciative to hear this new song about such an important event for Britain in World War Two. As this new song is scored for both Brass and Wind Bands we would like it to be played by many bands and singers throughout this land. We also wish that the RAF Band will play it too and hope it will be quickly accepted as a National Standard. Thank you to The Petworth Town Band for all their hard work in getting this song launched! Barry, Richard and I hope you like this song and we dedicate it to all those brave men who took part in The Battle of Britain way back in 1940. This song was originally recorded by Barry and Tim (aka Harveys Boys) way back in 2004 on a CD entitled Harveys Best HATCD046.

The Village of Saintfield County Down - Northern Ireland
When it comes to the villages to explore in Northern Ireland, Saintfield is one of them. Saintfield is a village and civil parish in County Down, which is located about halfway between Belfast and Downpatrick.
Before coming to the point that it became called Saintfield, this village was known as Tawnaghnym and then Taunaghnieve, actually this English translation did not appear and come to use until the 18th century. Saintfield has gone through lots of events throughout the history before it reached the state it is at during the moment.
There are several different destinations that one could visit when it comes to Saintfield in County Down, such as the Rowallane Garden that is situated south of the village, there are also the different old buildings which are located on the main street and which have old stables and courtyards behind them, the Market House and the Hotel could be also seen on the main street but a little bit different since one is a private house and the other turned to an orange hall.
While we were visiting this village in county Down, we have passed by a couple of places which we consider are good attractions for one to check and these include the cafes, the bakeries, as well as the other historical buildings which would tell more about the history of the place. We passed by Saint Cafe and checked the interesting sandwiches and sweet stuff which they offer, we have also been to Saintfield Griddle Home Bakery with their sweet bakeries and stuff, there is also the Rowallane Garden which one will enjoy the green spaces while walking there, and all these come of course in addition to the old buildings and streets which the visitors will check to know more about the history of the place.
In addition to those places and suggestions which we have brought in this video to all those who are considering a trip to Saintfield, there are some other places which they could go to as well, such as Saintfield Library, the Rademon Estate Distillery, Kiltonga Wildlife Reserve ( which is not far away from this town, and lots of other different places which one could find through walking down the city and exploring its streets and old buildings.
When one talks about the villages that are found in Northern Ireland in general, just like the village of Saintfield in County Down, there are some other suggestions for people searching for a place to go to, such as Carnlough fishing village which is located in county Antrim and which is the perfect destination for having a nice time and not just for fishing ( the Portballintrae beach village which is also found in Northern Ireland and is a good hit ( and there are some other ones which people could go to and check according to the whole plan they have in Northern Ireland and the different destinations they are already planning to visit.
Back in the 16th century, Saintfield was part of South Clannaboy that was owned by Sir Con McNeil Oge O'Neil, and this land was granted to Sir James Hamilton afterwards in 1605 who planted English and Scottish settlers in the area. Saintfield was the early 17th century settlement with the first church being built in 1633. Major General Nicholas Price of Hollymount bought the village in 1709 and he was the one who changed its name to Saintfield at the end.
Nicholas Price was the one to take care of Saintfield village until his death and he was also the one who encouraged linen and tradesmen to settle, established a barracks, repaired the parish church and established markets and fairs. Price was also the reason behind the number of corn, flour and flax mills which are found out there in the village and which some of them still exist until today, and also has gained a tradition of textile manufacture through Saintfield yarns.
From that point on, churches were built and the village started to gain its importance that we know all about it at this point and we even recommend it for those who are considering a new place to go to and discover in Northern Ireland.
Have you ever been to the Village of Saintfield in county Down before? You could plan your trip and also visit Banbridge in County Down ( go and check the Tollymore Forest ( and also manage to go to Down County Museum and check what it has to offer you from history (
There is always something to see in the place you are travelling to and visiting, and when it comes to County Down then Saintfield is one of the options to consider along with going to other places which are located around the village or close enough for one to go and check.

Cultra Manor - Part of The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum
The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum is one of the different museums in Northern Ireland that gives visitors the chance to experience the life in the country town back more than 100 years ago and at the same time experience one of Europe's most comprehensive transport collection (
Like entering into a huge village where there are different things to see and do, Ulster Folk and Transport Museum is exactly the same, there are different things for the visitors to see and other museums which are also found inside but ending up being all in the same place, and that is exactly the case with the Cultra Manor which is also located there.
One of the different buildings which are situated in this museum and considered part of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum is the Cultra Manor building which is now used for different events and some people even book their wedding at it to make something more royal and different.
Cultra Manor is located in county Down, Northern Ireland, and it was originally built as a large plain house with a central bow and a battlemented parapet, the front of this manor has projected pedimented ends that is joined by balustraded Ionic Parapet; the right hand projecting forth as a porch. Inside the Cultra Manor, there is a long, two-storey service wing which are joined to the main block by a wing.
This manor was owned back in time by Sir Robert Kennedy who retired to it in 1912 after he built it in 1902. The Kennedy's family former home was the Cultra House which had passed out of their ownership in the 1870s. Sir Robert and his wife Lady Kennedy died within few months from one another and left the property for their four daughters. After the World War II, the family found out that the maintenance of the house would cost them a lot of money and thus another smaller neo-Georgian house was built for them in the same grounds.
The manor house and the pleasure gardens were then sold to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum in 1961 and a conversion of the building was undertaken by Robert McKinstry in association with Ian Campbell. This led to the transformation of the place from the inside which included re-allocating the main rooms as exhibition areas, the servants' quarters as workshops and library and extending the garage for use as an administration block.
In 2010, there was a huge sum of money spent on Cultra Manor in order to transport it to what we tend to see today and make it more able to accept those events which are held in it and the weddings which people might be looking forward to make at. One of the events which is held in the Cultra Manor is the Limited Edition Afternoon Teas which is something special about the Edwardian ritual of afternoon tea that is held at specific time of the year in April and May, and which bring back the afternoon tea of the old times and let people experience the history of the Kennedy's family.
One of the things making Cultra Manor famous these days is the fact that it is now being used as a wedding and other events' location in Holywood, Belfast, Northern Ireland. One of the things differentiating this manor is that it provide those staying at it with the best views across Belfast Lough. In addition to the view, it give those taking the place for a wedding the chance to enjoy it all day and night and those who want the place for specific events, it gives them the chance to choose between different rooms.
Cultra Manor is becoming a popular wedding venue in Northern Ireland - especially for couples seeking something a little different. Weddings can also use the Folk park itself - along with the manor house for an extra special day.
Ulster Folk and Transport Museum is one of the famous attractions that are usually visited in county Down in Northern Ireland and since this Cultra Manor is not much of a place for people to visit, it is still located inside and carries a good amount of history that people could know about while watching it all from the outside (
County Down could attract the visitors with different other locations, we have been to some of them and could list a few: Newcastle ( Banbridge ( Dundrum Castle ( Scrabo Tower in Newtownards ( Mount Stewart and Gardens ( and many other things which will differ according to the area that one will be travelling to and staying at.
If you are searching for a place to make an event at a different place or hoping for a royal kind of wedding then Cultra Manor is the place for you, and for tourists, you should check it as well if you are there.
