Historical Information

A building is shown on the 1834 OS 6” map. However, it does not appear in the first Valuation (c.1835), indicating that its valuation was less than £5. It is probably the same building as currently exists. The first HMBB survey card states: “A single storey cottage with harled walls and slated roof. Two D/H (double hung) windows, with sashes divided into two by single vertical g.b. (glazing bars), flank porch containing a sheeted entrance door.” Primary Sources: 1. PRONI OS map 1st edition (1834), Co Down sheet 51. 2. PRONI 1st Valuation map (c.1835), VAL 1A/3/51. 3. HMBB First Survey card dated 26/01/1970.
