Phone number from: Game The World. The next important year after Barbour's mill began was in Most people know that the great French Revolution took place then, but are unaware of the revolution which began in Lisburn in the same year. Wallace returned from Glasgow with the first steam engine to be seen in Ireland, and installed it in his cotton mill just off Castle Street. Not only did the machine promise to revolutionize industry, but it caused a sensation among the goggling natives of the town.
Damask from Lisburn found its way into most of the courts of Europe, and such celebrities as the Archduke Michael of Russia, the Crown prince of Sweden, the Duke of Wellington and Lord John Russell visited the world famous Coulson factory. Where Coulson's damask, Barbour's thread With Stewart's and the Island Spinning, In workmanship the world have led, High honors from the nations winning. It led in to the opening of the Lagan for navigation from Lisburn to Belfast, and to the establishment of a coach service to places such as Dublin in the last decade of the nineteenth century.
In the railroad linked Lisburn with Belfast, and 3, people made the twenty minute journey into Belfast by rail. The expansion made some of Lisburn's citizens wealthy and made even more of them poor.
The Industrial Revolution inaugurated a period of intense hardship for the European working classes, and the Lagan Valley did not escape this harsh price for steam power. The Barbour's provided houses for their employees, and the outbreak of cholera in was followed by the building of a fever hospital on the Dublin Road by private subscription. By such means the worst effects of nineteenth century capitalism were softened in Lisburn.
A town, once established, thrives upon the necessities of its inhabitants. Nowhere is this more clearly seen than in the case of religion, for in satisfying their religious needs the people of Lisburn formed into social units and built many impressive buildings. The first of these began in when the foundation stone of the Church of Ireland cathedral was laid in Market Square.
It is indicative of the part which religion has played in the lives of Lisburn people, that the town's oldest institution is religious in origin. By , each of the important Christian sects had a substantial following among a population which numbered just over 6, The Quakers flourished in Lisburn after the conversion to that faith of William Edmundson in , and worshipped in Railway Street, as they still do today.
In the founder of Methodism, John Wesley, visited the town and left behind him an energetic band of Methodists who worshipped in Market Street. The Roman Catholic community founded their place of worship in upon Chapel Hill, and the Presbyterians who had worshipped somewhere in the Longstone area before the great fire of , in had a congregation of families.
Up till at least the eighteenth century, religion could well be described as the greatest need of man in society. As the nineteenth century dawned, however, another great social need, that of education, challenged its supremacy. The first educational establishment of any importance in Lisburn that founded for the Quaker children in was semi-religious in character and paid particular attention to the business of developing the moral character of the child.
Not until - the same year in which Sir Richard Wallace founded the other Lisburn grammar school on the Antrim Road - did the Friends' School open it gates to non - Quakers.
The first Lisburn school which did not ask pupils whether they attended church, chapel or meeting was that founded on the Dublin Road by John Crossley in , known then as the Male Free School.
After this, no decade of the nineteenth century passed without the foundation of some educational institution. For all this interest in education, however, it is no injustice to the people of Lisburn to say that they have largely wanted probing intellects. A well known authoress of the earlier nineteenth century described Lisburn people as "destitute of literary taste," and it is true that apart from a rather abortive literary - cum-debating society which existed in the middle of the century, there was little interest in the arts.
As for politics, after the hanging of townsman Henry Munro for his part in the rebellion, the town steered clear of political agitation until the Home Rule controversy. Jeremy Taylor, one of the most agile minds of the seventeenth century, lived in Lisburn for some time, and eventually died there in As a final item to this survey of Lisburn's growth it might be informative to examine the distribution of shops and trades in a particular year. In the year - the year for which most facts are available - the most popular occupation was that of a shoemaker.
There were no less than Next came the 28 publicans, who outnumbered the grocers by four. As well as intoxicating beverages the town was well provided with meat, especially in the Smithfield area, which had 19 butchers There were 16 carpenters, five schoolmasters, two surgeons, two physicians, four pawnbrokers, each of them strategically placed near Market Square, and about 11 bakers.
The busiest streets in , on, feels, must have been Bow Street and Bridge Street, for while the former boasted I I of the town's public, houses, note that Bow Street is well removed from the higher class Castle Street in , the latter had 12 of the town's 24 grocers. In comparison with the present day, it seems that trade has largely swung away from Bridge Street to Bow Street, and perhaps now into Smithfield center, for Bridge Street now no longer contains half of the towns grocers.
Bow Street is nowadays a thriving shopping area, whereas in it contained chiefly tradesmen such as carpenters and shoemakers. The most obvious comparison is that Lisburn in is a thriving as Lisburn thrived in , and as is, it may be added substantially more sober. This survey does not go beyond the Seventies of the nineteenth century. By that period the people of Lisburn had achieved economic and social maturity, and had made their town indispensable to the economic activity of the Lagan Valley.
