GOBAN STREET
Portadown cannot claim any great scenic beauty, it being principally an industrial town, yet it can boast that the place names in or near Portadown are nearly all derived from Irish thus; Tavanagh means a meadow, Clounagh a horse field, Anna a marsh, Corcrain the round hill of the tree, Killycomain – O’Commons Wood, Baltylum a bare townland, Drumcree the ridge of the cattle, Brackagh the speckled townland. Seagoe Church has an interesting name, it is See Govan (St Govans See). At the late Canon Archer’s request the name in the form of Goban was given to Goban Street.

BRIGHT STREET,THEY LIVED IN THE FIRST HOUSE ON LEFT.
THE STOTHERS FAMILY - 12 BRIGHT STREET
The Stothers family lived at 12 Bright Street prior to the 1st World War.
Their four sons joined the 9th Battalion R.I.F.
Joseph & Maxwell died during the Great War, one was killed at the front by an accident.
Private Jackson Stothers was found drowned in the Canal in Dublin, where he was stationed after returning from the front suffering from shell shock.
The fourth brother William James was wounded on the 1st July & survived.
NEWS OF THE BROTHERS DEATHS BROUGHT GREAT SADNESS TO THE STREET & SURROUNDING AREA.
Other known residents were Burns,Jacksons& McCrorys.
The Street was demolished in the 50's & Edwin May the motor people display cars on part of the area on which the street stood.
We would appreciate if anyone could supply us with other residents names or photos.

The Mill & Gantry - Watson Street
The Mill & Gantry - Watson Street
The Mill was made of corrogated asbestos & was 3 storey high. The gantry was made of angle iron frame. Both were an intregal part of the Wade factory. The raw material for Wades was mixed in the Mill & then pumped through the pipeswhich ran along the Gantry into the Slip House which was inside the factory.
Wades aquired the factory in 1946 therefore the Mill & Gantry were built about that time.
Note Rockeden House & Joseph Street in the background.
Our thanks to Mr A Herron for allowing us to use this photo.
