English: Edenderry Orange Arch, Bridge Street, Portadown One of the most historic structures in Edenderry is the magnificent arch that has been erected every year except for 2007 when, due to health and safety reasons, the decision was taken not to erect it that year but to have a new one constructed by 2008. The arch, as part of the 12th July celebrations, had been erected for more than 100 years. The first arch was erected in 1900 and remodelled in 1907 and then replaced in 1920. In the 1930s Harry Kane served as Chairman of the Edenderry Arch committee. He was a signalman in the 2nd world war and was lost at sea on 21st June 1940. A new arch was erected in his memory in 1951. In 2004, this arch underwent major refurbishment. The whole structure was stripped down to the original steel and sand blasted to remove 50 years of paint, rust and dirt. A new arch has been erected, side pillars not finished yet,and was dedicated on 14th June 2008.The arch incorporates the old and the new with half depicting the Relief of Derry and the other half the soldiers, sailors and airmen of HM Forces.
