Greers Quay

The quay was built in the 1840s by the Reverend Robert Walker Greer, in an attempt to improve the fishing in Carlingford Lough. For many years the landing place of goods such as coal, Greer also owned a quarry on Slieve Foy, from which rock was taken from the mountain by horse-drawn slipe, and exported out from the quay. This stone was used to cobble Liverpool dock, and the road at the Albert Basin in Newry.
