Annsborough developed as a thriving linen mill village in the first decades of the 19thC. In common with the rest of the Ulster linen industry, it underwent a total decline in the mid 20th C. Ardbannon, the large mansion on the hill above was the home of the Murlands, a wealthy mill owning family. Built in 1868, it latterly was used as an outdoor centre by the LEA but was closed in 2017. https://www.propertypal.com/former-ardnabannon-outdoor-education-centre-3-5-ardnabannon-road-castlewellan/764720
