St Mellon's parish church, Loughbrickland
The (CoI) parish church of St Mellon owes its present existence to Sir Marmaduke Whitechurch who arranged for it to be moved there in 1611. The church and part of Loughbrickland were destroyed in the wars of 1641. The church was rebuilt in 1688 with the spire added in 1823.

The old road from Belfast to Dublin (1)
Before the internal combustion engine those who could afford to, travelled by stagecoach. The roads upon which they travelled were not known for their quality especially in the winter. A number of Turnpike Trusts were established by Act of Parliament. The trusts were allowed to charge for the use of the road under their control in return for keeping the road in proper condition. One of the trusts operated a turnpike road from Banbridge to Newry. The old road is (blocked by a tree which had just fallen in high winds and had probably been weakened by the tail of hurricane “Gordon” the previous week), looking south, just outside Loughbrickland. For a view of today’s road see Image

New flyover, Loughbrickland (19)
See Image It seems that the contract also includes the construction of hard shoulders on the bypass – something omitted from the original design (on cost grounds as I remember). This is the Banbridge/Belfast end of the road looking towards Newry. Continue to Image
