Lisburn, Market town in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Located on the River Lagan, Lisburn stands 8 miles southwest of Belfast, connecting County Antrim with County Down through its central position.
The settlement transformed from a small village called Lisnagarvey into a major textile center after French Huguenot refugees introduced Dutch looms in 1698.
The Irish Linen Centre and Museum presents textile manufacturing traditions with demonstrations of spinning, weaving, and exhibits of historical equipment and fabrics.
The Lisburn railway station provides regular connections to Belfast and other Northern Irish destinations, with trains running every 30 minutes during peak hours.
The Barbour Thread Mill, established in the 1780s, grew to employ 2000 workers and became the largest linen thread manufacturing facility worldwide.
