Historical Information

Shown on the 1835 OS town map and noted in the 1838 Valuation as being occupied by James Henning and measuring 15ft x 23ft x 25ft. Quality letter (1A) suggests that constructed in early 19th century. Valuation of 1863 notes a three-storey building with similar plan dimensions (undoubtedly the same building). Sources: 1. PRONI – VAL 1D/3/8E (1835 map); 2. PRONI – VAL 1B/246C, p.42 (1838 valuation); 3. PRONI – VAL 12E/125/1/7 (1861 map); 4. PRONI – VAL 2B/2/39B, p.28 (1863 valuation).
