Old Rathfriland, Hilltown and Ballyroney

Featuring fifty-three rare period photographs complimented by in-depth captions, this book records these Co. Down villages in the days when Rathfriland and Hilltown each had their own weekly agricultural markets. The history of these markets is documented here alongside other tidbits of information including the origins of the Belfast Bank, the secret steps under the Hilltown well, and the ox which tried to stop the building of Clonduff Church. The book also contains period views of Katesbridge and Closkelt.
