A 19th Century view of Portstewart, a small seaside resort in County Derry, aka County Londonderry, in Northern Ireland. Its harbour and scenic coastal paths form an Atlantic promenade leading to 2 miles of the golden Portstewart Strand. It developed into a modest size seaside resort in the mid 19th century under the influence of a local landlord, John Cromi, influenced greatly by the Sabbatarian sensitivities of the Cromies and the consequent resistance to a railway connection in the mid 19th century.
A 19th Century view of Portstewart, a small seaside resort in County Derry, aka County Londonderry, in Northern Ireland. Its harbour and scenic coastal paths form an Atlantic promenade leading to 2 miles of golden strand (Portstewart Strand). It developed into a modest size seaside resort in the mid 19th century under the influence of a local landlord, John Cromie. Its development and character was influenced greatly by the Sabbatarian sensitivities of the Cromies and the consequent resistance to a railway connection in the mid 19th century. Despite a tram connection being provided from Portstewart to Cromore to link with the railway, the town developed with a more genteel character.
