Coleraine

Coleraine, a seaport in County Londonderry, on the right bank of the Bann, 4 miles from its mouth, 33 by rail NE. of Londonderry, and 61 NW. of Belfast. It has manufactures of fine linens, pork-curing, distilling, and important fisheries in the river. The Bann is here spanned by a fine stone bridge, 288 feet long, which connects Coleraine with its suburb on the left bank of the river, Waterside or Killowen. Vessels of 200 tons can discharge at the quay—those of greater burden lie at Portrush, $6\backslash frac\{1\}\{2\}$ miles off. Pop. (1861) 6236; (1881) 5899; (1891) 6845. Until 1885 Coleraine returned a member to parliament.
