Aughnacloy Pigot's Directory 1824
A post, market, and fair
town in the County of Tyrone
consists of one street and is
seventy miles north-north-west of Dublin, eight east
of Clogher, nine south-west of
Dungannon, thirteen north-west of Armagh and fifteen
south-east of Omagh. In the
middle of the town stands the parish church, a handsome
edifice, with a spire and a
good clock, and nearly opposite is the market house,
which is going into decay.
Besides the Church, there is a Catholic Chapel, with
a large Presbyterian meeting-house, two Methodist preaching houses, a corn mill and
a flax mill. The market is held on Wednesday and there are fairs on the first Wednesday
of every month. The
population is about 1800.
Post Office- Post Master, Mr. Rowland Betty. The Dublin mail is despatched at thirty-five minutes past three in the afternoon, and arrives at ten in the morning, the Londonderry mail at ten in the morning, the Dungannon mail at forty-five minutes past three in the afternoon, the Clogher and Enniskillen mails immediately after the arrival of the Dublin mail, and the Armagh mail at six minutes before three in the afternoon. Letters for England go by the Dublin mail; those for Scotland by the Dungannon mail.
