Slideshow of The Watcher
These seven – and a number of other photos – were passed on to your editor by The Watcher of Threads [ – sounds like he may have worked once in Dempster’s Mills!] Anyway, enjoy!
Foster’s Fashions
Men’s Sports Jackets for the equivalent of 62 pence? Women’s frocks for the same? (By the way, what’s a frock?) The address was The Arcade, Newry. We apologise for the photo quality: it’s the nostalgia that counts!
Sam & Pat White & Friends
Just for that fellow County Down resident who goes by the alias Armagh Active .. a few Slides from the folio of 5 times winners Down. These show – among personal snaps from Patrick’s album! – Sam in Canada with friends!
Trevor Hill/Town Hall slideshow
The final slideshow of 2006 – and the last of the ‘postcard’ series – is of the Hill Street, Town Hall and Trevor Hill areas.
Rostrevor of Yore
There may be a few returning emigrants at this time of year who will be grateful for this glance back in time to Old Rostrevor ….. or maybe some among the rest, who never left!
Edwardian Elegance: Slides
The previous slideshow of Old Newry Elegance was well-received – so here are seven more slides for you to view!
Elegant Newry Centre

Postcard Warrenpoint: 2
Naturally, postcards prominently featured the ‘new’ Public Baths, the Promenade and the Ferry Boats near Havelock Place. As these present examples do!
