By 1900 Roe Mill Road Street formed part of Roemill Road and ran, more or less, from what today is known as Rathbrady Road [DOUBLE DITCH on the map below] to just beyond Josephine Avenue. By c. 1876 the valuers began to call this part of the Roemill Road - Roe Mill Road Street. Previous to that date the valuers treated this section of Roemill Road as a part of Rathbrady Beg outside the town.

Using a c.1895 Ordnance Survey town map of Limavady [scale 25 inches to the mile; PRONI ref. OS/8/120/3A], I have added numbers in red, purple and blue which indicate house and plots of land within the street.

The larger blue numbers are the original numbers used by the valuers in the printed version of the Griffith's [Tenement] Valuation of 1858. The valuers responsible for later revisions continued to use this numbering system up until c.1900 - even for the new Roe Mill Road Street which came into existence c.1876.

The smaller red numbers are numbers allocated c.1900 to the houses in the street, replacing the old blue numbers. Note that the east side of the street has even numbers and the west side, odd numbers.

The larger purple numbers are part of the new c.1900 numbering system for plots of land on the east side of the street that have no houses on them.
