1999 COUNTY LOUTH KNOCKBRIDGE.Pdf Tidy Towns 1999 "Caring for our environment" Centre : KNOCKBRIDGE County : LOUTH Category : B Results Date of Adjudication : 05-06-99 Maximum Mark Awarded Mark Awarded Mark 1999 1998 Overall Developmental Approach 50 41 39 The Built Environment 40 28 27 Landscaping 40 26 26 Wildlife and Natural Amenities 30 28 27 Litter Control 40 27 27 Tidiness 20 15 14 Residential Areas 30 28 23 Roads, Streets and Back Areas 40 31 30 General Impression 10 8 7 TOTAL MARK 300 232 220 Knockbridge, County Louth OVERALL DEVELOPMENTAL APPROACH The progress of your Development Plan makes impressive reading. The brochures of the shared Oriel Trail, the Stephenson Pond, and in particular the Knockbridge Rural Village, are all admirable. Now that the village has reached the higher level in the Competition, you will find that increases in marks are much slower and harder to come by: this is a factor common to all centres which do exceptionally well and is not a matter to be despondent about. When drawing your map, please be sure in future to mark all sites which should be visited - for example, Martin's Cross is not shown and could easily have been missed. Congratulations on obtaining substantial developmental grants. THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT Certainly as good as last year. It is good to see that important items of artistic merit, such as the Clarke and Mayer windows in the Church, are given prominence. The completion of the Burns House will be greatly looked forward to. LANDSCAPING The landscaping continues to be sensitive and attractive. The neighbourhood of the School continues this good tradition. Floral displays were looking very well on adjudication day. Knockbridge is one of the few places where roses are well nurtured. WILDLIFE AND NATURAL AMENITIES It was a real pleasure to see Stephenson Pond win the National Wildlife Award last year, and it is good to note from the questionnaire that restocking has been an important part of this year's activity. It was equally encouraging to see a considerable number of visitors enjoying the amenity on adjudication day. LITTER CONTROL As last year, control is quite good, and your leadership is clearly most effective; it was a pity to see an appreciable amount of disposable litter on adjudication day - this is probably not the norm, but it is all we can judge by. TIDINESS The village was looking tidy. Be careful when poisoning weeds; dead brown foliage can look as unattractive as the weeds themselves, for example, at the Car Park. It is a matter for congratulation that the derelict site has been removed. RESIDENTIAL AREAS Homes throughout the neighbourhood are looked after with real pride. The estate at Knockattin, with its lawns, planting and seating, was one of the best of its kind seen this year. ROADS, STREETS AND BACK AREAS Surfacing is good - footpaths specially noted. This adjudicator can not recall the previous street lighting but assumes that the standards in position are new. There does not appear to be a signpost for Knockbridge on the busy Dundalk-Carrickmacross road. GENERAL IMPRESSION A community brimming with vibrancy and vitality. SECOND ADJUDICATION (08/08/99) Congratulations on the new sculpture piece; this is quite stunning and we look forward to its surrounding area being landscaped. All approach roads into the village were presented to the highest standard on second adjudication also and flower displays together with permanent landscaping were a visual treat. Something should be done about the derelict site at St. Martin’s Cross. The design of newly developed properties is sensitive to the existing stock of buildings in the village, well done! The landscaped banks marking the entrance from the Ardee Road were looking just a little bare on the evening of second adjudication. These may need to be replanted for next year. Sign posting for the Oriel Trail is both effective and discrete. The generous stands of Firethorn at the walls of the sports grounds and Drummonds Ltd. must look quite stunning in May and in September when they flower and produce berries. Some consideration might be given to featuring a seasonal display of indigenous wildflowers on verges between Stephenstown Pond and the village. Litter control is excellent..

  • Language Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891
    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

  • Admin/Biographical History: Dunleer Was an Important Monastic Centre from Earliest Times
    Louth County Archives Service © Dunleer Corporation Minute Book, 1709 – 1773 Repository Code: IE LHA Collection Reference Code: DLC/ Title: Dunleer Corporation Minute Book Dates: 1709 - 1773 Level of Description: Fonds Extent: 1 bound volume Name of Creator(s): Dunleer Corporation Admin/Biographical History: Dunleer was an important monastic centre from earliest times. Richard Chapel in ‘The Charter of Dunleer Corporation’ published in the Journal of the County Louth Archaeological Society, Vol. 5, No. 1 (Dec., 1921), pp. 49-57 explains that ‘Dunleer was a town, whether of Irish or Norman foundation, in the early part of the thirteenth century. The "vill" of Dunleer is referred to in A.D. 1227, and a weekly market and a yearly fair of three days duration (24th-26th March) were established by royal grant in 1252. The Manor of Dunleer was granted by the king – Henry III – to the family of De Audley in 1227. It had been part of the fee of Hugh De Lacy, Earl of Ulster’. Dunleer Corporation was formed quite late, in the year 1682, during the reign of Charles II. It was the last of the Irish boroughs to receive corporate status. The Cromwellian Confiscation in the 17th Century saw 1,046 Irish acres in the townland of Dunleer assigned to soldiers under the Act of Settlement to Colonel William Legge, a supporter of Charles I and Charles II. Colonel Legge (d1672), was rewarded by Charles I for assisting him in his battles with a grant of estates in England, property in Dunleer, the Manor of Kilsaran, the Manor of Templetown in Cooley, 616 acres of land in Dunany and Draghanstown, 123 acres of land in Termonfeckin, and lands in Galway, Roscommon, and the county of O Failge.
