Silverbridge is a small village in the townland of Legmoylin in County Armagh, Northern Ireland. It is within the Newry and Mourne District Council area. In the 2011 Census it had a recorded population of 112.[1] The local GAA club is Silverbridge Harps GFC, which plays football at Senior level in county competitions.[2] The area was historically called Belanargit (from Béal Átha an Airgid meaning "ford mouth of the silver").[3]
Silverbridge, along with the rest of South Armagh, would have been transferred to the Irish Free State had the recommendations of the Irish Boundary Commission been enacted in 1925.[4]
On 19 December 1975, during The Troubles, an Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) attack on Donnelly's Bar & Filling Station resulted in the deaths of Trevor Bracknell, Patrick Donnelly, and Michael Donnelly.[5] [6] [7]
