Historical Information

House with this footprint shown on 1834 OS 6” map; not valued (i.e. under £5). Valuation shows no change from 10s between c.1862 and 1930. Evidence therefore suggests that the existing building is probably of early 19th C date. Primary sources: 1. OS 6" map, 1st edition (1834) Co Down sheet 51 (PRONI OS 6/3/51/1) 2. PRONI Second valuation c.1862, VAL 2B/3/49A. 3. PRONI Valuation revision books, 1866-1930, VAL 12B/22/12.
