This collection of pages photographed in the Valuation Office on 27 February 2012 lists the occupiers of Moore Street from Griffith's Valuation in 1855 up to 1970.

I should have rotated many of these images before uploading them, and some of them could be more clearly focussed. Apologies.

Reconciliation with Slater's 1846 directory

Here is an attempt to match up the Moore Street numbers used by Slater in 1846 with those in the Valuation Office records used by Griffith et al. from 1855 to 1932. In the list below, I have written the Slater numbers before the name, and the Griffith numbers in brackets after the name.

It appears that Slater started at the Church, went west along the south side of the street, and came back along the north side, ending at number 125.

And it is clear from the map that Griffith started at the Square, went east along the south side of the street, and then came back along the north side.

There must have been several houses divided or merged between 1846 and 1855, so that the numbers don't tally perfectly.

Generally speaking, on the south side, the sum of the Slater and Griffith numbers is between 56 and 63.

South side, east to west:

Reconciliation with census returns:

1901:

No. 1 Taylor = Valuation Office 111

No. 121 Walsh/Postmistress = Valuation Office 1

1911:

The low numbers appear to match 1901, with the following being the same:

9 Bradley

11 Burke

12 Nolan

Further along, a couple of houses disappeared leading to
