WICKLOW

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 619 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WICKLOW , a seaport, market town, and the county town of county Wicklow, Ireland, picturesquely situated at the mouth of a lagoon which receives the river Vartry and other streams, 284 m. S. of Dublin by the Dublin &
South
 -Eastern railway. Pop. (1901) 3288. The harbour, which is governed by commissioners and can accommodate vessels of 1 500 tons, has two piers, with quayage. There is a considerable import
trade
  in coal, timber, iron and slate; and some exports of
grain
  and metallic ore, but the latter suffers by competition with the imports to Britain of
sulphur
  ore from Spain. The town has county buildings, a parish
church
  embodying a good Norman
door
  from a previous structure, some ruins of a Franciscan abbey of the 13th century, and remains of Black Castle, on a commanding situation above the sea, founded in Norman times and rebuilt by William Fitzwilliam after capture by the Irish in 1301. The name shows the town to have been a
settlement
  of the Norsemen. The cliff scenery to the S. towards Wicklow Head is fine, and the town has some claims as a seaside resort. It is governed by an urban
district
  council.
