Henry and Coghlan’s General Directory of Cork for 1867

For which is incorporated Wynne & Co’s Business Directory of the Principal Towns in the Province of Munster.
Bandon is a large market town, and a borough both corporate and parliamentary partly in the parish of Kilbrogan, barony of Kinalmeaky, but chiefly in that of Ballymodan, barony of East Carbery, county of Cork, 174 miles south west from Dublin, and 19 south-west from Cork, pleasantly situated on the banks of the river Bandon from which it derives its name, and it is the terminus of the Cork and Bandon Railway.  At one period Bandon was chiefly inhabited by English Protestants, who walled and fortified the town, and built two churches and market houses.  The walls were, however demolished by the Irish in 1689, for which violence no Roman Catholics were, for a long time, permitted to reside in the town.  The settlers being an industrious and economical people, Bandon soon began to flourish and increase, till at length the streets within the walls becoming incapable of containing its population, several additional ones were built in various parts of the suburbs, and it has continued to improve in appearance and increase in wealth ever since.  The principal part of the present town lies in a valley, environed with lofty hills.

 In addition to the corn and provision trade there are two breweries, an extensive distillery, three tanneries, three banks, two hotels and several flour mills.  The shopkeepers who carry oin a very extensive retail trade, are numerous and highly respectable.  A limited trade is carried on by the river, which is navigable for barges to Innishannon, four miles from the town.  General sessions for the west riding are held in October or November, and petty sessions for the division every Monday.  Manorial courts for the recovery of debts under 40s are held once in three weeks respectively, by the seneschals of the different manors of Castle Mahon, Coolfadda and Clough McSimon.  Bandon returns one member to the Imperial Parliament in the person of the Right Hon. Lord Viscount Bernard of Castle Bernard.

 There are two churches under the establishment, belonging respectively to the parishes of Ballymodan and Kilbrogan – the former is a very elegant Gothic structure, the first stone of which was laid oni the 9th day of March, 1847, by the present Earl of Bandon, who subscribed the magnificent sum of stg 700.  It was opened for public worship on the 30th of August, 1849, and the total cost amounted to stg 18,000, stg 4,000 of which was subscribed by friends and parishioners.  The organ which cost stg 700, was presented by the Very Rev. Richard Boyle Bernard, DD, late dean of Leighlin.  Kilbrogan Church, commonly called Christ Church is a cruciform structure, begun in 1610, and finished by the first Earl of Cork in 1625.  The other places of worship are two spacious Roman Catholic chapels – one which was built in 1796; one each for Wesleyan and Primitive Methodists; one for Presbyterians; a Scots church, and a chapel attached to the Presentation Convent.  About half a mile west of the town is Castle Bernard, the delightful residence of the Earl of Bandon.  This elegant structure has two regular fronts, ornamented with Corinthian pillars of Portland stone; the apartments are sumptuously furnished and convenient, and the mansion is surrounded with tastetfully disposed shrubberies, walks, gardens, and a noble park four miles in extent.  Numerous other seats, the residence of opulent and spirited proprietors, tend to enliven the vicinity of Bandon.  For further particulars referring to this town, we must refer our readers to Mr. Bennett’s History of Bandon, published by us Price Three Shillings.  The markets, which are well supplied with all kinds of provisions and cattle, are held on Wednesday and Saturday.  Fairs, May 6th, Holy Thursday, October 29th, November 8th and the first Wednesday in each of the other months.  The population of the town and borough, in 1861 was 6,243.
