Click HERE to go to ‘The Great Irish Famine Online’.
This interactive website is from the Geography Department in UCC
and the Department of Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht
In it the famine is mapped at a parish level
and shows us changes which occurred between 1841 and 1851;
changes in population,
housing,
occupation
and education.
We can use it to see the changes that happened in Greystones
from 1841 to 1851.
In this way we can see how ‘The Famine’ affected Greystones
and its surrounding areas.
