Leases of Ballindown, barony of Eglish

Envelope of leases of Ballindown, barony of Eglish. [In date order.] The envelope also includes two documents relating to the transfer of parts of Ballindown from the Birr Estates Company to Erin Peat Products Ltd. [For this and other transactions relating to bogs on the estate, see also Q/326A.]

Leases of Ballindarra, barony of Ballybritt

Box of leases of Ballindarra, barony of Ballybritt, on the outskirts of Birr. [Sometimes these, in common with other leases of suburban or rural townlands in King’s County, include in the same lease premises in the town of Birr. There
is therefore a good deal of inevitable overlap between the King’s County and Birr runs of leases. Within each townland or denomination there is also a good deal of duplication, because when renewable leases expired, the tenant’s original was returned to the Estate Office and often survived there along with the Estate Office counterpart.]

Leases of The Green and The Upper Green

Box of leases of The Green and The Upper Green. [Some of the earliest leases of Cumberland Street (see Q/58) state that it was built on The Green, so it is probable that, as building progressed, leases of The Green change names to leases of sundry streets.] The box also includes papers relating to the sale of properties and fee farm grants in Green Street to the Birr Urban District Council and other purchasers.

Leases of Newtown, barony of Ballybritt

Envelope of leases of Newtown, barony of Ballybritt, the lease of 1757 (which is long and complicated, and which makes reference to the debts of Sir William Parsons, 4th Bt) also comprising parts of Derrinlough and Dovegrove [see Q/37 and 39. In date order.]
