It’s good although I should note Samuel Nicholson was way off the mark with Newtownards suffering more than any other town in the north. Lurgan and Portadown hold that record. The town adapts well and suffers a modest drop in population. It’s the rural areas, eg the peninsula that fill the workhouse

Looking forward to this. Very grateful to @stephenscarth.bsky.social for all his help, and to PRONI for hosting the event.

Great news! I am recruiting a(nother) PhD student!
