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).

Catherine's claim to fame was that she was the first white woman to cross the Rockies and the mother of the first white baby born in British Colombia. The site, in Castle Street, is now occupied by a garage.

Rathfriland Reformed Presbyterian Church
Reformed Presbyterians are often referred to as the Covenanters and are a late 17th century breakaway movement from the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. In theology and outlook they differ markedly from another brake-away group the Non-subscribing Presbyterians whose beliefs are closely akin to those of the Unitarians. The Reform movement nowadays has less than 2000 communicants. This church in Rathfriland was built in 1861 and replaced an earlier building of 1777. Locally, it is often referred to as "The Rock" church. An early minister of the church, William Stavely, was twice imprisoned for his part in the United Irishmen's Rebellion of 1798.

Narrow exit from Castle Street to the Banbridge Road
Here the road width is a mere 6 feet. The surface of the road epitomises the "patch up and make do" attitude of the Ulster road authorities.
