I visited Irish & Local Studies Library in Armagh on Thursday 29th January 2015. I researched a number of books on the Newry, Warrenpoint and Rostrevor Railway (NWRR) and on its rise and progress.  I searched to see if there were any statistics on employment in the area during the initial setting up of the railway.  I looked at the various opportunities for employment and the different areas that were available at the time for example hotel work, constructing the railways and pleasure boating.
