The Troubles in Portadown
This article recounts the violence and other effects related to The Troubles in Portadown, County Armagh, Northern Ireland. Much of it has been related to the Drumcree parade dispute.
==Overview==
Portadown is located in an area known during the troubles as the "murder triangle"〔("Murder Triangle: Portadown" ), cain.ulst.ac.uk; accessed 6 October 2015.〕 because of the high number of killings carried out by paramilitary organisations. The town is the site of an annual parade in July by an ex-serviceman's lodge of the Orange Order, from St Mark's Church in the town centre, where participants lay wreaths at the war memorial. Participants then marched to Drumcree Church through the predominantly nationalist Obins Street (also known as the "Tunnel" area because of an underground walkway connecting it to a higher level at the bottom of Fowler's Entry/Mary Street/John Street). In the 1970s and 1980s residents of the Obins Street area objected to the Orange marches, claiming they were triumphalist and arguing that they marked them as being second-class citizens.〔Mulholland, P. (1999), "Drumcree: a Struggle for Recognition", ''Irish Journal of Sociology, Vol. 9'' (1999), pp. 5-30〕〔("Drumcree: a Struggle for Recognition" ), scribd.com; accessed 6 October 2015.〕
The Orange 'church parade' through Obins Street was rerouted in the mid-1980s 〔(Garvaghy Road ), cain.ulst.ac.uk; accessed 6 October 2015.〕 through the then lesser populated but nearby area of Garvaghy Road. In the interim fresh housing stock built on the former McGredy's Rose fields on the Garvaghy Road was occupied by a cross-section of families from both persuasions but slum clearance in Obins Street meant that many of the Catholic residents were relocated to the new housing. Following sectarian intimidation between both communities in various estates in the town, the Garvaghy Road estates became almost 100% Catholic.
The parade was one of three which had been staged by the Orange Order to march through the Tunnel and was the scene of rioting from as early as 1873. In the modern troubles this flashpoint became the source of confrontation between the Catholics of the Tunnel area and Protestants from neighbouring Edgarstown, often exacerbated by men from other areas within the town reinforcing the numbers on either side. On several occasions in the 1970s this resulted in gun battles between the Royal Ulster Constabulary and locals.〔〔http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/csc/reports/rituals4.htm〕 See "Two Hundred Years in the Orange Citadel" (here ).
