Pub history

The Old Borough

This building first opened its doors in 1809 as the Borough National School. The interior of this well-known building has been much altered, but the exterior has changed little since it was designed by the noted Irish architect Francis Johnston. The school was free of charge to children of all denominations. It became known as the ‘Old Borough’, when the New Borough School was opened. The building was converted into a public house in 2000.
