Ryle's Barrisway, Newfoundland and Labrador

Ryle's Barrisway (sometimes spelled Barachoix[2]) is an abandoned town in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada that had a small population which was first recorded in 1898.

It is centered around the Ryles Barrisway Brook which is the focal point of the community.

[4] The community of Ryle's Barrisway was recorded in McAlpine's Business Directory of 1898 with 2 heads of households, namely Clement Benning, a "lobster packer" and John Thompson, a "Lobster Can Dealer.

"[1] In the subsequent 1904 Business Directory, only the family of Clement Benning remained.
