Thanks Trish i understand that there were many of them. Stan, the site of the factory is where it says street on the old maps online, you can make out the small out buildings and my neighbour still has remains of a small forge in his garden, also the pub at the end of the road has it on their map as at the end of newton street,

Hi all,
 I have recently moved into a house on Newton st and after research have found that it was a small arms factory in the 1850s run by Paul Cashmore, as it turns out he designed the pistols for the Royal Irish Constabulary and has connections to whats known as the Daws pistol.
  Does anyone have any information as the trail of my research has gone cold.

                         Many Thanks.
