Ordnance Survey Memoirs of Ireland Vol 37

<p>The Ordnance Survey Memoirs are a uniquely detailed source for the history of the northern half of Ireland immediately before the Great Famine. They were written in the 1830s to accompany the 6 Ordnance Survey maps but with one exception were not published at the time. In this new edition they act as a nineteenth-century Domesday book and are essential to the understanding of the cultural heritage of our communities.</p><p><br></p><p>These Memoirs document the landscape and situation buildings and antiquities land-holdings and population employment and livelihood of the parishes of Carrickfergus.</p>
