Historical Information

A building is shown on this site on the OS Maps of 1833/4 and 1858-60. The single storey house which once occupied this ground until c.1992, may have been originally early nineteenth century (at least), and possibly one of Millisle’s 67 one storey dwellings noted in the OS Memoirs of c.1834. The present building was constructed soon after the demolition of the former house.
