Town houses under construction in Newcastle Road, Castlewellan
This I remember as the site of the town's RUC barracks, a baricaded fortress in an overwhelmingly Nationalist town. The station saw more than its share of troubles. In 1972, an IRA bomber attempting to blow up the station was killed when the bomb went off prematurely and in 2000 an RUC officer was seriously injured by a booby-trap bomb left at the gate of the station. Yet, a few years later the authorities decided that Castlewellan, in common with many other small Ulster town, had no need of a police station and, in 2007, the site was sold at the height of the property boom for £400,000. Castlewellan is now policed from Newcastle.
