    "It is not actually an island but includes a narrow peninsula which may at one time have been cut off by the sea. The name of the townland is recorded as Conningsiland in 1635, as Cony Is in 1640 and as Conny-Island in 1669. Coney or Cony is a medieval English word meaning rabbit" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coney_Island,_County_Down

    The pier has been extended since the photo, and the steps shown here replaced. The 1902 map (OS-8-1-1-2 at the OSNI historical site) shows the pier as in the photo, the photographer would have been right at the tip. The Pier is not changed on the 1920 map, so no help in dating this one... .

    Ardglass grew from a place of little note in the 13th century to a modestly prosperous port in the 15th century.It was an important town and port in the Middle Ages, but no harbour works seem to have been constructed until after 1812. Then William Ogilvie, who had acquired the Ardglass estate, had a harbour built. Further extensions to the pier and a lighthouse were made, but in 1838 a great storm undermined the lighthouse which fell into the sea along with the end of the pier. Work on the piers was completed by 1885 and they remain in use to this day.

    Niall McAuley Niall, my plug-in for that map is misbehaving. Could I trouble you for a Street View?

Local sailing fleet being displaced by English steam drifters which land and sell their catch, and get back to the fishing banks before the sailing boats reach the market. As a result of our visit some of the fishermen have obtained loans from the Department to equip their boats with motors. It is interesting that we see both Steam and sail in this photo.
