Thanks to that triumph of Victorian engineering, this uniquely beautiful area has been opened up and one of the most enthralling road trips on the planet can be enjoyed by all. But the centuries of remoteness have left their mark. A culture isolated from the rest of Ireland developed its own unique ways and they survive to this day - how people speak, their music, myths and folklore, the warmth and genuineness of their welcome and the way they are at one with their breathtakingly beautiful environment.

If a castle like this existed in any other place, you would be part of a heaving crowd. But in Carrickfergus, there’s space to breathe in its history. Carrickfergus Castle stands on the rocks where the ship of Fergus, legendary king of Scotland, ran aground, giving this vitally strategic town its name, the ‘Rock of Fergus’. Look across the harbour from the castle walls and you will understand why John de Courcy, Anglo Norman conqueror of Ulster, built his stronghold here to secure the Lough. 14 shapedbyseaandstone.com 15 Blackhead Lighthouse, Whitehead BT38 9PB The story of Ulster Rooms with a view In the castle’s endless history of sieges, That includes the amazing views by one of attacks, captures, burnings and changing Northern Ireland’s most important working hands, lies the story of this part of Ulster. lighthouses, Blackhead.

  • 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.
