From looking at old Portadown maps (via PRONI) I can see that the old house stood on the site of the current practice putting green behind the first tee box. This is not where the current club house is. The back of the house faced towards the first hole. The front seemed to look out onto turnaround for carriages. Remnants from the walled garden can still be seen today. Stables belonging to the house are also standing today. A canal linking the farm to the Bann can be seen on maps dating back to 1830's. Judging by current maps and my own experience of the course, this canal has since been filled in.<br /><br />I'm very interested in their capped cellars and if they can be accessed.

The estate is said to include two interesting relics: <br />1) A short canal linking the Carrickblacker farmyard to the River Bann.<br />2) A depression, near the 15th green on the golf course, which had some significance in the days of Irish tribal rule. <br />Anybody know anything about these?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-34274217259721222922016-01-26T20:16:51.274+00:002016-01-26T20:16:51.274+00:00We lived on the site of the old house since 1991. ...We lived on the site of the old house since 1991.
