Historical Information

Mark Street was laid out in the 1850s and named after Lord Mark (Kerr) McDonnell, the 10th Earl of Antrim. This house (No.5) does not appear to be shown on the OS map of 1858, but is undoubtedly the dwelling of the same dimensions (minus recent extension) recorded in the 1859 valuation- thus dating it to the latter year References- Primary sources 1 PRONI D.2977 Antrim Papers 2 PRONI VAL/2D/1/11 Valuation town plan of Glenarm, 1859 [with later annotations] 3 PRONI VAL/2B/1/41B Second valuation [notebook], village of Glenarm, 4 PRONI OS/8/103/1 OS town plan of Glenarm, 1903 5 PRONI VAL/12E/31/1 Valuation town plan of Glenarm, 1907-[1935] 6 PRONI VAL/3G/20/1 Valuation town plan of Glenarm. 1936-57 Secondary sources 1 Felix McKillop, ‘Glenarm- A local history’ (Glenarm 1987)
