William J Watson grave marker, Blaris Old Burial Ground, Lisburn (1)
A cast-iron grave marker with the inscription “THE FAMILY BURYING GROUND OF WILLIAM J WATSON BELFAST 1928”. This one was made by Combe Barbour of Belfast – a business which traded (1845/1955) as The Falls Foundry from Second Street, off the Falls Road The date is interesting, showing that the manufacture of such products continued well into the 20th century. The foundry was, perhaps, better known for the production of textile machinery. J2462 : William J Watson grave marker, Blaris Old Burial Ground, Lisburn (2) shows the maker’s name.
Blaris Old Burial Ground, Lisburn

An old graveyard, on the Blaris Road, to the south west of Lisburn. The graves are mainly 19th century with a few from more recent times. There is a suggestion that it occupies the site of a mediaeval church of which only a mound now survives.
