Moy, Charlemont and District

Some of our Yesterdays!

Tag: Roxborough Castle

The Round Tower

This round tower was part of the Roxborough Castle estate and apart from the gates opposite the Eurospar in the Moy is the only visible reminder of this great building. There are a lot of round towers still standing inIreland. With the entrance door blocked up this one appears to be out of use and just there for historical and decorative purposes.

The Fort burnt

Charlemont Fort in Charlemont, Co. Armagh was burnt by masked Irishmen in 1920. I assume it was for political reasons and not because it was a cold August that year

Maps

I had no idea the Moy Square used to be known in olden days as The Diamond - maybe even Moy Diamond. Nor was Trew & Moy Railway Station always known by that name - welcome True & Moy Railway Station and True Mount! I wonder what initiated the changes.
