A wooded stretch of the Old Belfast Road, south of the Quoile Bridge Image The Quoile Image is behind the trees on the right. 18th century Downpatrick was an important administrative centre and little effort is needed to imagine the mail coach, or the prison wagon heading for the Assizes, passing here – don’t think there were any white lines or cats’ eyes then though.
