Valuation Map (c.1880) for Church Street, Ballymoney

(PRONI Ref. VAL/12E/14/1)

This map actually dates from around 1880 and I have had to use it because the numbers on the original 1859 map (VAL/2D/1/9) would be difficult to see in a scanned map. The 1880 map differs from the original 1859 map on the north side of Church Street as follows: In 1859 the church was 25. Then across the street from the corner of present-day Victoria Street to the Diamond the numbers in 1859 are the numbers that are stroked out. These numbers ran from 26 to 33. Numbers 26 and 27 covered an area that had been the site of the old Erasmus School. After the closure of the school the area was redeveloped and once it had been completed by the 1870s/1880s, the north side of the street was renumbered from 26 to 40. The numbers on the south side of the street are exactly the same as those on the 1859 map. Incidentally, both sides of the street were renumbered again in the 1890s.
