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.
The former community is located about 3 kilometers away from the town of Terrenceville located at the bottom of Fortune Bay. It is centered around the Ryles Barrisway Brook which is the focal point of the community.[3] The community first sprang up as a settlement in 1898 when a significant lobster cannery was established which coincided with the increase of the lobster fishery in the area.[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." In the subsequent 1904 Business Directory, only the family of Clement Benning remained.[5] Use of the area by nearby residents of Terrenceville continued long after it was abandoned and one such resident, Leo Hickey, accidentally died at Ryles Barrisway on February 21, 1928.[6]
The community is currently uninhabited but a few nearby residents have cabins where the community once stood.
