Gill's Almshouses, Carrickfergus (3)
See Image The plaque recording the building and renovation dates as 1761 and 1904 respectively. Subsequent research by architectural historians shows that the row is not the original almshouses. They were replaced by the present buildings in 1820. There was a second renovation in 1980.

Davys Street, Carrickfergus
Sometimes spelled “Davy’s” as if there had once been a man of that Christian name. Without the apostrophe it might refer to a local family, in the Victorian era, with the surname “Davys”. The houses in the photo are around a square off the street but have the postal address of Davys Street.
