Rathfriland fire station
Damaged by fire on overnight on 30/31 July 2009. The media made much of the absence of a smoke alarm. Alarms don’t prevent fires; they only alert the residents (none in this case).

The remains of Rathfriland Castle and the town's better known water tower
The castle was built by the Magennises the Lords of Iveagh. Following the rebellion of 1641, when the Magennises backed the Irish Catholic cause, most of the castle was pulled down by the Planter William Hawkins of London. The rest was destroyed by the Puritan Roundhead General Henry Ireton. A tiny remnant of a wall is incorporated in the flat topped build on the right of the photo. The water tower dates from the late 1970s. The red, white and blue pattern on the upper rim is the work of intrepid Loyalists.
