Crozier monument, Banbridge
Captain Francis Rawdon Moira Crozier, the son of a local solicitor, joined the navy and served on Franklin’s ill-fated expedition in search of the North West passage. He was born in 1796 and died in the expedition in 1848. This monument, in Church Square, was erected in 1862 to the design of WJ Barre. His birthplace was Avonmore House (the large house on the right of the photo). It is now, appropriately, a solicitor’s office.

Old railway at Huntly, Banbridge
The GNR(I) line from Banbridge to Scarva closed in 1955. Shortly after leaving Banbridge the line crossed the River Bann by a bridge at Huntly before continuing past Cowdy’s mill to the level crossing at Millmount. This is the site of the bridge, now part of a riverside walk. The line of trees in the foreground shows the course of the railway clearly but it is not clear on the other side. Indeed, anyone not familiar with the area would find it hard to believe that a railway ever existed. Continue to Image

The Bann at Banbridge (2)
See Image This is the Bann a few hundred yards downstream of the previous photo. The vantage point was the site of the old railway station (now the leisure centre). The area is not quite as rural as it might appear – I positioned the camera carefully and zoomed to cut out the view of the houses built on the site of Ferguson’s weaving factory.
