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.

There is also a Presbyterian Church in the town, and an excellent National School, which was built in 1890, at a cost of £700.
