In a few weeks on 12th August 2025 Carleton Street Orange Hall in Portadown will mark its 150th Anniversary, and last evening the Lord Mayor, Alderman Stephen Moutray, along with Alderman Ian Burns, Councillor Kyle Moutray and Councillor Julie Flaherty received representatives from each of the groups who meet in the Hall for a Civic Reception in Craigavon Civic Centre to mark the anniversary.
The Lord Mayor welcomed all present and mentioned each of the Lodges and organisations who are based in Carleton Street Orange Hall. One of which is the Portadown Heritage Tours Association who have produced an anniversary booklet giving a detailed history of the Hall.
As well as the different organisations the Lord Mayor also mentioned the Jones family who lived in the hall when Mr Rab Jones was Caretaker. He wished the whole of the Carleton Street Orange Hall Community the very best as they cherish their Hall for many more years to come.
