1881 SLATER'S DIRECTORY OF WESTPORT, NEWPORT AND NEIGHBOURHOODS

WESTPORT
NEWPORT AND NEIGHBOURHOODS
     WESTPORT is a seaport and market town in the parish of 
OUGHAVAL, barony of Murrisk, county of Mayo, 161 miles w. 
from Dublin, 28 s. by w. from Ballina, 10 s.w. from 
Castlebar, and about 7 s. from Newport; situated at the 
south eastern extremity of Clew bay, and at the mouth of a 
small river, which falls into that part of it forming the 
harbour of Westport – a name derived from its situation on 
the western coast. The town, which is of modern date, and is 
lighted with gas and supplied with water, consists of 
several streets and a mall of neat houses. The approach from 
Castlebar is singularly beautiful, being enriched with the 
well-planted desmesne of the Marquess of Sligo (who is 
proprietor of the town), and commanding a fine view of Clew 
bay, studded with picturesque islands, and the lofty 
mountains of Nephin, Achill, Enis, and Croagh-Patrick - the 
latter might eminence celebrated as the annual resort of 
penitents. The trade of the port has declined considerably 
during the last few years. The exports comprise grain - 
principally oats, together with oatmeal and flour. The 
imports consist of timber, foreign wheat, wines, spirits, 
tea, sugar, and various goods of British production. A 
brewery, belonging to Mr. Livingstone; two branch banks (the 
Ulster, and Bank of Ireland), and an admirably-conducted 
hotel are the chief business establishments. The general 
sessions of the peace are held here in January, April, June 
& October, and petty sessions are every Thursday. These 
courts are held in the court house, a neat substantial stone 
building. The Protestant Episcopal church is a handsome 
stone structure, in the ancient Gothic style, erected at 
considerable cost, the nobleman previously mentioned being 
the city donor. On the Mall is a spacious Roman Catholic 
church in the Gothic style, erected by subscription in 1813. 
The Wesleyan Methodists have a chapel at this spot; and the 
Presbyterians have also a place of worship. The 
neighbourhood of Westport is the residence of many 
respectable families, and some of the mansions are placed in 
situations of great beauty, commanding extensive views of 
Clew bay, with its many Islands; the bay is a favourite 
resort for visitors in the summer season for bathing. The 
market, a wel lattended one for linen, corn, provisions, 
&c., is held on Thursday. Fairs: January 1st, March 21st, 
May 22nd, August 6th, September 22nd, and November 1st. In 
1861 the population of the parish was 8,802, and in 1871, 
7,906 (including the portion called Quay Town); at the 
latter date Westport numbered 4,417 inhabitants. NEWPORT, or 
Newport-Pratt, is a market and post town and seaport, in the 
parish and barony of BURRISHOOLE, county of Mayo, 169 miles 
w. from Dublin, 11 1/2 N.W. from Castlebar, and 7 N. from 
Westport, situated at the extremity of Clew bay, on the 
north bank of Newport river, whic, together with that of the 
Burrishoole, also flowing through the parish, abound with 
salmon. The first-named river is crossed by a good stone 
bridge, and there are weirs constructed on both streams for 
the purposes of the fishery, which is pursued here 
advantageously and the produce, after supplying the 
neighbourhood, contributes largely to the Dublin and inland 
markets. The exports consist chiefly of grain and oatmeal; 
for the latter there is a considerable mill contiguous to 
the town. The imports, since the removeal of the 
custom-house to WEstport, have become inconsiderable. The 
channel here is deemed perfectly safe, being unobstructed by 
 bars or sand-banks, and vessels of 250 tons burthen can 
come up the quay. It is also admirably adapted for sea 
bathing, and it becomes the resort of families of 
distinction during the season, Sir George O'Donnell, Bart., 
who is proprietor of the town, has greatly improved it, as 
well as the land in the neighbourhood, which naturally is 
remarkably productive. The same gentleman, in connection 
with some of the merchants here, erected the pier. The town, 
though small, has a very neat and clean appearance. The 
houses in the principal street are uniformly lofty, and 
substantially built, and its shops are well stored with all 
local requisites. There is an hotel and posting house. In a 
small court house petty sessions are held every alternate 
Tuesday. The places of worship are a Protestant Episcopal 
church, a Roman Catholic church, a church for Presbyterians 
and a Wesleyan Methodist chapel. The church, situated in the 
highest part of the town, is a modern structure, the 
interior neatly fitted and furnished with a gallery, in 
whcih there is a small organ. There are two National 
schools. Newport House, the residence of Sir George 
O'Donnell, Bart., J.P., D.L., is contiguous to the town. 
About a mile to the south-east is Carrickaneady, one of the 
castles said to have been built by the Burkes. About two 
miles from the town is the extensive and beautiful ruin of 
Burrishoole Abbey; and three miles distance, on the 
sea-shore, is Rockfleet Castle, a small square fortress, 
said to have been erected by Grana-Uile, better known as 
Grace O'Malley, and celebrated for her maritime exploits. 
The surrounding scenery is of the most picturesque 
character. There is an uninterrupted view of the Clew Bay 
island, said to be 365 in number. The mountains abound with 
game, and seal shooting along the coast is much pursued. The 
market, an exceedingly well attended one, is held on 
Tuesday. Fairs: June 8th, August 1st, November 11th, and 
December 20th. The parish of Burrishoole contained in 1861, 
6,318 and in 1871, 6,100 inhabitants, of which number the 
town contained 851.
