Barrack Street, as the name suggests was the site of the British Army barracks in Newry, Housed in the disused White Linen Hall from the 1839s onwards it accommodated garrisons of 600 and more soldiers. With the rapidly deteriorating security situation in the 1970s and the need for widespread use of helicopters the garrison was relocated to another former linen mill, that at the nearby village of Bessbrook. Housing Executive social housing now occupy the site of the former barracks at Newry. http://www.newryjournal.co.uk/2005/01/10/newry-military-barracks/
