The town is located in the middle of Ulster's linen-producing region, and throughout the 19C supplied half of all the linen woven. In 1707, Lisburn was destroyed by a fire that only spared the Assembly Rooms, set at the top of the market square.

His Lisburn residence is a copy of Hertford House, Wallace's London home, and faces the park entrance.
