  • Irish Milepost, Comber Street, Saintfield Co Down
    Hidden gems and Forgotten People CHRIS SPURR Irish milepost, Comber Street, Saintfield Co Down - a very different 9/11 The road signs by the traffic lights on the A7, the main road through the village of Saintfield, show clearly that the village sits midway between Belfast and Downpatrick, and is 11 miles from both. However, a historic milepost, only a minute’s walk away from the modern junction, informs that Downpk. (sic) and Belfast are both just nine miles away. This milepost is on Comber Street, which was formerly the main road through the village. Today’s signs seem to suggest the old milepost has it wrong, but in fact both, in their own ways, are right. In Elizabethan times, a distance of four Irish miles was often equated to five English. By the seventeenth century, the Irish mile was 2,240 yards (6,720 feet, 1.27 statute miles, 2,048metres). The difference arose from applying a different length of the rod in Ireland (usually called the perch locally): 21 feet as opposed to 16½ feet in England. When equating these differing measurements of the mile, an easy, yet rough, reckoning is to do as the first Elizabethans did, and approximate one Irish mile to one-and-a-quarter English miles. Thus the historic distance of nine Irish miles from Saintfield to either Belfast or Downpatrick becomes11 and-a-quarter English miles, and so offers a near tally with the given distances nowadays of 11 miles. As the roads have been straightened in places over the years, this has shortened those distances slightly, and it might be supposed this has brought them both down to around 11.
