Having visited The Robinson Library, I've managed to find some additional secondary sources, including
The Catalogue of Stars compiled by the Observatory's third Director T. R. Robinson (no relation of Archbishop Robinson!). Unfortunately, however, I was informed that the Observatory's founder requested that all his private papers and correspondence be destroyed upon his death; although I'm hopeful of locating some primary sources on either the first or third Director during my visit to the Observatory.
Also pictured below are the three surviving Meridian Markers, used to align the original telescopes. The single, Southern Marker, can be found in a field just outside the Palace Demense, whilst the Northern arched structure and obelisk are located off the Loughgall Road at Tullyards.
Interesting as always Nigel. I went to school (old, old tech in Market Street) in Armagh for 5 years and never heard about these. On my list for a visit when I'm down that way.
