Martinstown, Antrim

Martinstown is a small village, lying on the Clough River in County Antrim. It is within the townlands of Martinstown and Lisnamanny, in the civil parishes of Skerry and Dunaghy. Prior to the opening of Knockanally Railway Station in 1880, there was no settlement around the Weemill Bridge over the Clough River, other than a corn mill. The hamlet of Martinstown developed around the station, renamed Martinstown Station in 1920. The hamlet grew into a large village, spreading along the A43, from the mid 20th century. The village is within the council area of Mid and East Antrim.
