    Fair Head Tidal Information Day

    Welcome to Fair Head Tidal Information Day Fair Head Tidal (FHT) was awarded an Agreement for Lease from The Crown Estate in 2012 which grants it exclusive rights to carry out surveys on the site and, subject to securing the necessary consents, apply for a long term lease to use the site for the construction and operation of a tidal array with an installed capacity of up to 100MW. This exhibition outlines some of the survey work we have been doing on the site, an assessment of the findings and information on what we would be seeking to build. The next step is a formal planning application to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to seek consent to build and operate the project. We welcome your feedback on this exhibition and our plans.

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.
