The rear of Downshire Road Presbyterian Church, Newry
This church stand across the road from Newry Courthouse, the target of a number of republican car bombings - the bollards on the right have been added in an attempt to further protect the well defended courthouse. The church - minus blast walls and bollards - has suffered more damage from these attacks than the intended target. On the night of February 22nd, 2010, damage estimated at £350,000 was caused to the church when a dissidents' device exploded outside the Courthouse.
