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.

Places to see in ( Silloth - UK )
Silloth is a port town and civil parish in Cumbria, England. It sits on the shoreline of the Solway Firth, 22 miles west of Carlisle. The town of Maryport lies 12 miles (19 km) to the south, down the B5300 coast road which also passes through the villages of Blitterlees, Beckfoot, Mawbray, and Allonby. Wigton is twelve miles to the east, along the B5302 road, which also passes through the village of Abbeytown, 5.5 miles (8.9 km) to the south-east. Silloth has a population of 2,932, reducing slightly to 2,906 at the 2011 Census.
Historically a part of Cumberland, the town is one of the finest examples of a Victorian seaside resort in the North of England. Silloth developed in the 1860s onwards around the terminus of the railway from Carlisle and associated docks which had begun construction in 1855 to replace Port Carlisle as the deep-water port for Carlisle.
For the first time workers from the factories of Carlisle were presented with affordable access to the seaside and the town flourished as a destination for day trippers. The town reached the peak of its popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Recent years have seen a great deal of development with many of the sea facing properties having received facelifts. The main central attraction is a large expansive green that is utilised throughout the year to host various events and activities.
Silloth's largest church is Christ Church, situated in a complete rectangular plot which was planned into the original town design. It is on a commanding site at Criffel Street and the body of the church was completed in 1870. The porch tower and large broach spire were completed later in 1878, and house a ring of 8 bells which are chimed. It was designed by Carlisle architect Charles John Ferguson in the Gothic style, and is built with an interesting mix of local sandstone, and granite which was brought by the North British Railway from Newry in Northern Ireland. Much of the interior is faced with yellow brick trimmed with red. Several other churches and chapels of various denominations are also located within the town or its outskirts.
One of the busiest ports in Cumbria, Silloth is owned and operated by Associated British Ports. The main cargoes are wheat, fertiliser, molasses, forest products and general cargo. Tourism is a major economic player in Silloth, with dozens of large and small static and touring caravan parks located within a ten-mile (16 km) radius of the town centre. This is responsible for the tremendous growth in the population on most days throughout the summer months.
Amenities include a championship golf course ranked amongst the country's top fifty courses, several hotels and bed and breakfasts, public houses, tea rooms and eateries. There is a local 'free' newspaper published monthly entitled 'The Solway Buzz' - distributed to households in the area by a team of volunteers - which covers news and events in Silloth and the surrounding area.
Silloth also prides itself in its coastline along the Solway Firth which has been described in one of the country's leading sea fishing publications, Total Sea Angling, as having the best flatfish fishing coastline in the country, with over 20 miles (32 km) of beach and promenade to choose from. Bait and equipment are also available locally. Wind and kite surfing are also popular along the coast at Allonby, 8 miles (13 km) from Silloth town centre.

Murland Mausoleum Clough Co Down No Ordinary Tomb
This is the Murland Family Mausoleum sittind at the back of Clough Non-Subscribing Presbyterian Church, Castlewellan Road, Clough, County Down just aross the road from Frenchies Restaurant.
Here we have a finely carved crypt built in the neoclassical/baroque style with pedimented gable end topped by urns. It has a stone pitched roof with steps leading down below ground to a metal door. Above a rounded recessed opening with metal grill with an archway is decorated in rusticated style. The gable walls support a low pediment adorned with acanthus
( flower ) and scrollwork detail. Giant order of consoles flanked by flambeau ( torches ) support a cornice. The roofline boasts acroteria, ( -An acroterion or acroterium or akroteria is an architectural ornament placed on a flat pedestal called the acroter or plinth, and mounted at the apex or corner of the pediment of a building in the classical style ), antefixae (-An antefix, from Latin antefigere, to fasten before, is a vertical block which terminates the covering tiles of a tiled roof ) and draped urn finials.There are marble plaques inserted along the tomb sides and a granite plinth.
The stone is buff-pink sandstone with the primary stone being Giffnock sandstone imported from Glasgow.The secondary stone type is Newry granodiorite. The inserts are marble.
The draped urns on the roof of the building were -common in Victorian cemeteries. They symbolise a separation between the living and the dead and a protective shroud for the soul. They are a classically inspired symbol of death.
This then is no ordinary tomb. The Murlands were at pains to emphasis that they were no ordinary family. Their mausoleum dominates the graveyard and is very out of keeping with the more humble graveheadstones from the period. No expense has been spared here and no detail neglected in the construction. The Murland family were the linen industry in this South Down region and that this mausoleum was built in 1860.
A lot of the very interesting Murland family story can be found detailed in the 2008 book titled 'Departed Warriors -the Story of a Family in War' by Jerry Murland.
'Departed Warrirs Takes the reader from the shores of Britain with the first volunteer army to leave for South Africa to fight in the Second Boer War, and to the battlefronts of the Great War of 1914-18. This work offers an account of two generations of a family who fought for their country and the impact it had upon their lives.'
Jerry Murland served in the Parachute Regiment. He is the author of Departed Warriors and Aristocrats Go To War (Pen and Sword Military). He is a prolific writer of military books dealing with WW1 and WW2. He lives near Coventry.

Hidden History - The kings ring - Chluainte Gabhra
About 2500 B. C. men with new ideas came to Ireland to start a new life. These men were Neolithic or New Stone Age men. They were, in fact, Ireland's first farmers – they tilled the soil and grew their own crops – the start of Ireland as we know it. When one of these men died, they were always buried with the highest of respect in the family vault or tomb known as a megalith – which means made of large stones.
The two main types of grave these men built were the court cairn like this one or Ballymacdermot Court Cairn and the Passage grave; like Newgrange in Boyne Valley, except here you get the time to enjoy the location at your own pace, no entry fee, no waiting for buses, access 24/7, the way it should be.
Clontigora cairn, one of the best examples of the 200 Irish cairns / tombs that I am aware of, has withstood the ravages of time, and has not been excavated since 1937, when small pieces of bones and fossils were unearthed. There is two cairns to be visited here, the other smaller one is in the field beside. Records claim that at least one cremation had taken place at the Kings Ring cairn. Three chambers built from massive slabs and the central burial gallery was originally covered, stones forming a cavin. The area around this tomb is reasonably well-kept, however, no parking is available with the exception of a gate to a field up the road. Known locally as the ‘King’s Ring’, this court tomb has a prominent position in the southeast part of the rugged Slieve Gullion ring-dyke. It was built for collective burial by an early farming community who cultivated the land as long ago as 3500 BC. Despite damage to the structure it is a most impressive monument and more extensive than it first appears.
An impressive façade of tall stones, some over 2.7 metres tall, defines the deep U-shaped forecourt (hence the name, court tomb) where funeral rites were performed before the ashes or bones of the deceased were taken through the entrance, marked by two massive portal stones, to be placed inside the burial gallery. This forecourt may have been used for other ceremonies as well as for burial ritual. Roof slabs and a large capstone over the first of three chambers are supported on enormous split granite boulders. Court tombs usually face east, however, this one faces north, towards a stream 100 meters away.
The excavation in 1937 showed that the tomb was originally covered by a small elongated cairn flaring out around the forecourt. Finds from the excavation include cremated bone, flint artifacts and pottery, stone axe, flint arrow heads and quartz.
Remarkably enough, all traces of this cavin or stone mound have been removed and apparently were used in the building of Newry Canal.
The number of cairns in our area, is particularly high, as it is relatively near the sea, therefore, convenient for those coming from Europe. The cairns show evidence of people settling from Portugal and Sardinia, e.g. potsherds found in Clontigora Cairn are of the same type found in Portugal. All the cairns are situated above 300 feet, as the water level at that time was much higher and dense forests and swamps were often found on mountains, making habitation impossible.
