This old photo shows the elect of the town in the early 60s celebrating the elevation to the Bishopric of Monrovia of Newry’s Castle Street man Francis Carroll. A list of names will follow!
Panoramas
Millvale, Bessbrook panorama
This is a panoramic aerial view of the Millvale Road, Bessbrook area. Enjoy!

In this panoramic view of Merchant’s Quay and the Canal Court Hotel, you can actually see the cars and the people on the street!

Armagh Road Homes
A third panorama from Martin’s recent helicopter flight. The photo cuts across the main Armagh Road!
Above the Fiveways roundabout
This panorama of the Armagh Road area was taken by Martin Auden, to whom we are most grateful! Extreme right, middle is MacDonalds sign in yellow, 5Ways roundabout and Supermarket and Norbrook.
Fathom Hill
Five minutes or less from Newry town and you encounter all the beauty of nature in this secluded spot. The road is narrow and winding – thank goodness – for that helps to preserve its special quality!
Fathom Road View
There is an Upper and a Lower Fathom Road. This is the view from about halfway along the latter. Both emerge close to Clontygora just where the Council has sited a wonderful viewpoint – now closed courtesy of our vandals!
