High Street Methodist Church, Lurgan
The Church opened in 1826 and was extensively renovated in 1910. It replaced an earlier building at the rear, built in 1802, when the first Methodist Chapel (from 1778) in Nettleton's Court, Queen Street became too small for the congregation. The present building has a simple classical facade.

His career included spells as Mayor of Philadelphia, Chief Justice, Acting Governor and President of the Council of Pennsylvania. The plaque is on a house almost opposite Malcolm Road.

Old doorway, Lurgan
This doorway, in Queen Street at the corner of Malcolm Road, is not what it seems to be. It and another (hidden to the left) are all that remain of the former Orchard County Hotel. If my memory is correct the hotel was destroyed by a bomb in the 1970’s. What you see is a facade, surviving at ground level only and now acting as a boundary wall for the gospel hall.
