Historical Information

A building is shown on this site on the OS maps of 1834 and 1859-60, which probably corresponds to the dwelling standing here until recently. No mention of the property appears to occur in the first valuation records of c.1835, but he second valuation of c.1861 noted that the building contained two dwellings in possession of Isabella and Elizabeth McVeagh, who leased them from a Samuel Lowry. Local residents state that the house was demolished c.1987.
