He refers contemptuously to Ker`s efforts to build a road from Quoile Bridge to Killyleagh. When completed this hit the tortuous shipping arrangements on the Quoile very hard. The Pilson Papers (PRONI) are a galloping good read bridging the 18th and 19th Centuries in Co. Down.<br />Pilson`s name is on the wee mission hall at the back of the new Vet`s surgery .johnfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11362869115462977935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-51255594411717028102017-02-20T16:27:02.846+00:002017-02-20T16:27:02.846+00:00New link for newly-built (2009) Portavo House (whi...New link for newly-built (2009) Portavo House (which demolished the 1880 rebuilt house) -<br /><br />http://www.gilbert-ash.com/projects/portavo-houseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-47872194686742896182012-03-06T08:24:37.443+00:002012-03-06T08:24:37.443+00:00Indeed, curious.Indeed, curious.Timothy Belmonthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15111145260662707575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2705771450596300887.post-72304398793804308032012-03-06T05:25:07.011+00:002012-03-06T05:25:07.011+00:00Not connected to this blog but I have just read Th...Not connected to this blog but I have just read The Butterfly Cabinet, a novel (local author) based on the murder at Cromore House in 1892 by Mrs Montagu of her small girl. I looked to see if you had written about Cromore, which you did a couple of years ago, but no mention of the murder - just wondered if you could dig up any info about it sometime? Lived quite nearby once but never heard about it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
