Boundary post, Holywood (2)
A closer look at the boundary post seen in Image It is marked “Hollywood Commissioners” 185(8?). Town Commissioners were the predecessors of urban district Councils (now replaced by district councils) and were mainly abolished at the end of the 19th century.
The other interesting point is use of the spelling “Hollywood” rather than the present “Holywood”. The latter reflects the town’s origin in the 7th century and the establishment of a church by St Laisren (Wiki link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laisr%C3%A9n_mac_Nad_Fro%C3%ADch ) – remembered in an older name for the locality - “Sanctus Boscus”. The Irish version is Ard Mhic Nasca.
