My Lady's Mile, Holywood
A suburban road running from High Street to the Demesne Road Image This view is outward from opposite the southern end of Church View Image with the autumn colours on display. The road’s name is unusual and an explanation is not easy to find. One thing which seems reasonably certain is that it has no connection with this one Image where the “Lady” in question was related to Lord Donegall. One suggestion for Holywood is that the name was originally “Our Lady’s Mile” implying a religious connection which is not unreasonable given the origin of the town’s name. Another is that the “Lady” was a relative of Sir Hugh Montgomery Image and Image who had been granted land in north Down and the Ards as part of the Plantation of Ulster.

Old litter bin, Holywood
This old litter bin, at the Demesne Road end of My Lady’s Mile, caught my eye. Once a standard design it doesn’t seem to be as common as it used to be.
