FERMOY

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 278 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FAT-FLA
FERMOY , a market town in the
east
  riding of Co.
Cork
 , Ireland, in the north-
east
  parliamentary division, 21 M. by road N.E. of
Cork
 , and 14 M. E. of
Mallow
  by a branch of the
Great
  Southern & Western railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (1901) 6126. It is situated on the river Blackwater, which divides the town into two parts, the larger of which is on the southern bank, and there the
trade
  of the town, which is chiefly in flour and agricultural produce, is mainly carried on. The town has several good streets and some noteworthy buildings. Of the latter, the most prominent are the military barracks on the north bank of the river, the
Protestant
 
church
 , the Roman Catholic
cathedral
  and St Colman's Roman Catholic college. Fermoy rose to importance only at the beginning of the loth
century
 , owing entirely to the devotion of John Anderson, a citizen, on becoming landlord. The town is a centre for salmon and trout fishing on the Blackwater and its tributary the Funshion. The neighbouring scenery is attractive, especially in the Glen of Araglin, once famed for its ironworks.
