An old boundary post on the Saintfield side of Carryduff roundabout Image Now worn and rusty, but what seems to be part of the words “Lisburn” and “District” appear at the bottom. I interpret this as a reference to the old (Co Down) Lisburn Rural District Council (RDC) which became Hillsborough Rural District Council Image after partition. To the best of my knowledge RDC’s did not cross county boundaries. Newry, for example, had two – Newry No1 RDC for Co Down and Newry No2 RDC for Co Armagh. Image shows a Lisburn town boundary post. Hillsborough RDC administered a wide area including Hillsborough, Carryduff, Saintfield and Dromara.
