The Story of Magheratimpany ; Its Old Chapel and Landlords
The Story of Magheratimpany ; its old chapel and landlords The place name Magheratimpany in the Gaelic, Mach-aire-ratha-tiomanach, signifies the plain of the fort of the hillocks. The map of 1720 shows five hill forts in the townland, while the first edition of the Ordnance Survey , surveyed in 1834, shows two and a portion of another. Today only one of these remains and it is to be hoped that it will not suffer the fate of the others. The townland was called in the ancient times Ballintanpany, Baile- tiompanach, the town of the hillocks. This district lies within the axis of mid-Down, halfway as the crows flied between Ballynahinch and Seaforde, in a somewhat sequestered valley, where its many hillocks raise their lush grass-brown heads, vying with its each in altitude. From these vantage points one’s eye can compass the undulating landscape of Co. Down, from the graceful and lion couchant-like Slieve Croob and the monarch of the Ulster peaks, Slieve Donard, to the blue Cave Hill shimmering through the haze; towering Scrabo the silvery waters of Strangford Lough to the cloud-like hills of the Isle of Man on the skyline of the mystic east. Here animated nature is seen and heard at its best. The wood pigeon in his leafy bower, where the alder and the ivy strive for existence and superiority respectively, coos his welcome to the rising sun. The blackbirds and the thrushes, who struck the poetic chord in the mind of John McMullan, the Magheratimpany muse, when he composed his overture to their rousing whistle and gay songs, haunt the hedgerows and the laurels and command the toped of the lofty trees, filling the very air with their melodies accompanied by the different other songsters of the feathered world. -

Newry and Mourne in 1914
NEWRY AND MOURNE IN 1914: A DIRECTORY INTRODUCTION Printed street directories were common in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This resource is based on the Belfast and Province of Ulster Directory for 1914. It contains information on each of the towns and larger villages in the Newry and Mourne area. For each there is a brief description, followed by lists of the local gentry, professional people (including clergy, doctors and solicitors), traders, merchants and principal householders. The resource is illustrated with images of some of the businesses and individuals mentioned in the directory. All the images (unless otherwise stated) come from the Newry and Mourne Museum Collection. At the back of the resource there is a glossary, which gives definitions for some of the more unusual occupations found in the directory. There is also a short list of suggested educational tasks for teachers to use with the resource in the classroom. ANNALONG Annalong is a Post Town in County Down, situated on the road from Kilkeel to Newcastle. The town, though small, has a large harbour, where a great fishing industry exists. A lot of trade is done in shipping granite to parts of the United Kingdom, a material found in the Mourne Mountains. There is also a Presbyterian Church in the town, and an excellent National School, which was built in 1890, at a cost of £700. The Church of Ireland and the Methodist Chapel are also in the immediate vicinity of the town. Population, 291. Post and Telegraph Office William McMath, Postmaster.

His parents were Thomas Francis Higgins (d. 1923), medical officer for the Athy union and county coroner, and Anne Sullivan (d. 1953), daughter of Timothy Daniel Sullivan (poet, patriot, MP, and lord mayor of Dublin), and sister of the wife of Timothy Michael Healy KC, first governor-general of the Irish Free State. He was the fourth son and the fourth of fifteen children. The family moved to ‘Woodlands’, an eighty-six acre farm near Stradbally, where Kevin O'Higgins spend most of his childhood, attending the local convent school, then the Christian Brothers' school, Maryborough, Clongowes Wood College, and St Mary's College, Knockbeg, Carlow. He then attended St Patrick's College, Maynooth, with a view to joining the priesthood. However, he was later moved to Carlow seminary, in 1911, for breaking the non–smoking rules, and ultimately abandoned the possibility of a vocation. For a brief period he acted as an apprentice to Maurice Healy, a Cork solicitor and brother of Timothy, while at the same time resuming his BA studies (legal and political science), at University College, Dublin. -
