Geological history The oldest rocks in County Down are 417-495 million years old [Ma] and consist of mudstones and volcanic rocks. At that time County Down lay beneath a deep ocean, on the edge of an ancient continent made up of Scotland, north America and the north of Ireland. A huge ocean separated this continent from the rest of Ireland, England, Wales and Europe. Over millions of years, this ocean closed and the two ancient continents collided, heating and deforming the rocks to form slates. The same rock types occur from Longford, through County Down and into the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Around 350 million years ago, in the early Carboniferous, sea level slowly rose to flood across the landscape. Sand and mud deposited on flood plains and in lagoons was buried beneath thick limestones deposited in a tropical sea.

  • 1951 Census Down County Report
    GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch, 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PRICE 7* 6d NET GOVERNMENT OF NORTHERN IRELAND CENSUS OF POPULATION OF NORTHERN IRELAND 1951 County of Down Printed & presented pursuant to 14 & 15 Geo. 6, Ch. 6 BELFAST : HER MAJESTY'S STATIONERY OFFICE 1954 PREFACE Three censuses of population have been taken since the Government of Northern Irel&nd was established. The first enumeration took place in 1926 and incorporated questions relating to occupation and industry, orphanhood and infirmities. The second enumeration made in 1937 was of more limited scope and was intended to bridge the gap between the census of 1926 and the census which it was proposed to take in 1941, but which had to be abandoned owing to the outbreak of war. The census taken as at mid-night of 8th-9th April, 1951, forms the basis of this report and like that in 1926 questions were asked as to the occupations and industries of the population. The length of time required to process the data collected at an enumeration before it can be presented in the ultimate reports is necessarily considerable. In order to meet immediate requirements, however, two Preliminary Reports on the 1951 census were published. The first of these gave the population figures by administrative areas and towns and villages, and by Counties and County Boroughs according to religious pro­ fession. The Second Report, which was restricted to Counties and County Boroughs, gave the population by age groups.
